5 opponents for Sheamus when he returns to action on WWE SmackDown

#2 King Corbin

The King could have his crown kicked off his head

Another man Sheamus called out during his return promo on Friday night was the man who recently got crowned the King of the Ring, Baron Corbin. Sheamus won the King of the Ring tournament in 2010, and enjoyed his time as monarch, but mocked the current King in his promo.

Sheamus wants to set the bar high on WWE SmackDown once again, and the only way he can do that is by taking on the biggest competitors and showing them how it’s done. King Corbin is one of the biggest athletes SmackDown has, and he could prove to be a great opponent for Sheamus once he returns.

It is interesting to note here that Corbin and Sheamus have never had singles matches against each other before, and this could make a great fresh booking for the Blue brand and give fans something that's not repetitive.

Corbin has laid himself down to put many Superstars over in recent months without losing much credibility, and he could do so once again for Sheamus, which will make a great storyline.

Sheamus will be looking to climb the ladder as quickly as possible, and engaging in a feud with Corbin early on will make his rise to the upper card even quicker.
