The Celtic Warrior – Sheamus won his first WWE Championship in only 166 days
No no, Sheamus wasn’t always in a ‘Best of 7’ feud with Cesaro. The year is 2009. WWE needs a new superstar. And so less than 6 months after he makes his debut, WWE put the belt on Sheamus, thinking he will carry the company into the future.

Sheamus achieved the impossible. He defeated John Cena by putting him through a table to win his first WWE Championship at TLC. Considering this fact, it’s tragic how far down the ladder he has fallen since then.
Sure, he was the WWE Champion as recently as last year, but he was never the star he once was.
