Speaking to UnCrowned, Sheamus recalled a neck injury he suffered during a match with Edge. This put him on the shelf for a long time while he tried to recover. For a long time, there was worry that he would not be able to return to the ring again. He said that after that experience, he felt that every match that he wrestled was like a bonus for him.

The Celtic Warrior said that he wanted to give the crowd every penny's worth when he wrestled at the upcoming Clash in Paris.

"Every time I go into that ring, I want to prove that I still belong. I want to show I can still rile up the crowd and get the fans invested in my matches. Two years ago I took a bad fall and I wondered if I would ever step into a ring again. So now every match I have is like a bonus. That’s why I want to make sure I give the crowd every last penny’s worth this Sunday."

WWE has given up on Paul Heyman? Here's the story!

He did, however, confess that he had one last goal to round up his career - the Intercontinental Championship. He has been open about this goal in the past as well, referring to it as the last puzzle piece.

"Honestly, it’s like the last piece of the puzzle for me. It’s like when you collect those football stickers when you’re younger, and you just have that one item left to complete the whole set. So yeah, it’s often on my mind." [H/T Yahoo Sports]
