5 potential challengers for Braun Strowman's Universal Championship

#2. Sheamus

Sheamus

Sheamus made his grand return to SmackDown in January of 2020. After nearly a year out of the ring, many were glad to see the 'Celtic Warrior' return to a WWE ring. However, since the former WWE Champion made his return, we haven't seen that much of substance from Sheamus.

Sheamus did participate in a brief feud with Shorty G and Apollo Crews on Friday Night SmackDown which culminated in Sheamus defeating Shorty G at the Royal Rumble in January. But, that has largely been about the most we have seen of the 'Celtic Warrior'.

Since returning to WWE, Sheamus has been vocal about eradicating "weak" superstars such as Shorty G, calling the former American Alpha member "vermin" in the process. This bully persona that Sheamus has adopted could lead to a future showdown with current Universal Champion Braun Strowman.

Thom Jones once said "There's always someone bigger and badder than yourself". That person could be Braun Strowman when it comes to Sheamus. Sick of seeing Sheamus throw his weight around and bully the SmackDown roster, we could see Braun Strowman challenge Sheamus to try and bully the current WWE Universal Champion.
