Road to WWE SummerSlam: Best Way to Book Sheamus

Sheamus didnt have his luck straight after returning from injury as the WWE was struggling to find him a good credible storyline.This dilemma resulted in Sheamus failing to find a good match at WrestleMania and entirely being kicked out of the Extreme Rules match card. However, things changed when WWE finally decided to take the United States title away from Dean Ambrose and put it to some use.Sheamus was the lucky one who got the pick to hold the title next and what his means is that he could be well on the way to a relevant road to SummerSlam. So here is a look at the best way to book him through to the biggest event of the summer.

#7 Sheamus vs. Damien Sandow at Payback for the United States title

Now that Sheamus has the title and he is pretty much still a face, what WWE should first do is to give him some momentum as the champion.

A good match up against a typical heel in the roster will be the first step towards than and the most suitable person to fill in the gap would be Damien Sandow.

Sandow’s career is on a downward spiral after he lost the Money in the bank match against Cena and anything good at the moment could help him.

The match could be build up in the time before the Payback and Sheamus could walk out of the pay-per-view with a win and to find out his new opponent.

#6 Battle Royal to determine the new No.1 Contender

WWE has gone some interesting paths to make the mid card titles more relevant and the matches they put up to determine the No.1 contender has been one of them. We saw an entire tournament for the Intercontinental title and WWE could easily make a Battle Royal for the US title.

As far as the winner goes, Big Show is the best candidate. WWE projected him as a big threat in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal but Cesaro ended up winning it.

So it would be fair enough to let Show get a Battle Royal win and a shot at the title that he once held. Show will be a big step forward from Damien Sandow and will make the title more interesting.

#5 Big Show vs. Sheamus at Money in the Bank for the US title

After winning his way into facing Sheamus at Money in the Bank, Big Show could show the fans that he still got something left in him.

The size of Show and brawling skills of Sheamus will make it a solid match while the title will be raising the stakes high for both men.

Sheamus could get frustrated with not getting the job done after many attempts and start destroying Show which will end in a disqualification. This will be the initial step of Sheamus’ heel turn as he has to lose his face alignment to reach heights.

#4 Complete Heel Turn and Shows revenge

With the DQ win that Big Show got at Money in the Bank, he could come out and demand Sheamus to come out.

A newly turned Sheamus could take out Show once again and get him for a match at Battleground with No disqualification rules. The time between Money in the Bank and Battleground could be used to deliver some back and forth battles between the two.

Since Sheamus is a full-fledged heel now, it will make their dynamics more effective than the last time making it look better. On the last segment before the actual match, Show could be given the upper hand making him look like a possible winner.

#3 Big Show vs. Sheamus at Battleground for the US title in a No DQ match

Stage being set, Show and Sheamus could deliver a great physical match for the fans with the addition of some props here and there.

The face- heel chemistry could also be used to the core and since there aren’t any rules, the fans will be sure about getting a result out of the match unlike last time. Sheamus could go on to win the match but that wouldn’t stop him from destroying Big Show further.

He could simply take out Show with some big bump after the match and continue to take Show down till Dolph Ziggler runs in for the save.

#2 You messed with the Wrong fella

After the heroics of Sheamus at Battleground, Big Show will be taken off television for some time. However, Sheamus can come out next night and call out Dolph Ziggler for messing with the wrong guy.

Ziggler being brave wouldn’t hesitate in coming out and even challenging Sheamus for a match at SummerSlam to settle the scores like men inside the squared circle.

The Celtic Warrior need not accept the challenge at first but some good taunting from Ziggler would finally push Sheamus off the edge. This can set up a match between the two at SummerSlam for the United States title.

#1 Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam for the United States Title

From being irrelevant midcarder at WrestleMania to being part of a good program in SummerSlam, both Ziggler and Sheamus will thrive under the circumstances.

Not to forget that this is also a match between two former World champions which makes the US title look more valuable. If WWE wants to get the title away from Sheamus and give it to Ziggler, they could do that or they could let Sheamus continue his run.

The former would be the better option as Ziggler desperately needs a title at the moment and losing the title will help Sheamus get more over as a heel or even get back into the main event scene.
