The crowd in Europe responded extremely favorably to Sheamus, The Celtic Warrior, and the same is probably true of London. When Money in the Bank takes place on July 1 in London, the four-time WWE world champion feels like he belongs on the lineup. Sheamus has not yet been added to the MITB card, although his English stablemate Butch from the Brawling Brutes is competing in the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Speaking to Metro’s Alistair McGeorge about why he should play a significant role in Money in the Bank, Sheamus brought up his past reception in Europe.

‘Nobody came close!’ 

“I mean, selfishly I should. If it’s with Ridge [Holland] too, that’d be great. But listen, last time we were in Wales [for Clash At The Castle in September], I tore the bleeding roof off the place. Nobody came close!. Roman [Reigns], Drew [McIntyre] didn’t come close—and it was built around that match. Nobody came close to [me and Gunther].”

“Every time I’m in there, I blow the roof off the place. Doesn’t matter if it’s in Cardiff, Wales, doesn’t matter if it’s in Lexington, Kentucky, MSG, the reactions I get are insane. Every time I get out there, I put on a banger. I should be the first person they’re thinking of—especially when a pay-per-view comes to Europe like that. So yeah, a hundred percent, I should be in there.” Expressed Sheamus. 

‘Delighted’

Sheamus expressed that he was “delighted” for Butch but emphasized that he ought to be on the show as well as another English-speaking member of the Brawling Brutes who is now in Holland. The 45-year-old veteran said that, given London’s proximity to his native Dublin, Ireland, he should be the “No. 1 name” WWE considers when organizing a show there. With four world title reigns, five tag team title reigns, and three United States Championship reigns to his name, Sheamus is one of the most decorated Superstars in WWE history and a foregone conclusion for the Hall of Fame.

The Celtic Warrior

He has also triumphed in contests for the Royal Rumble, Money in the Bank ladder, and King of the Ring. Sheamus, an Irish wrestler, made a reference to his 2022 Intercontinental Championship bout against Gunter at Clash at the Castle in Wales, which was hailed as one of the greatest matches in the history of professional wrestling. Additionally, Sheamus nearly always delivers in the ring, so WWE should find a place for him on the Money in the Bank card.
