#2 Plans for SmackDown Superstar Sheamus

While Speaking about SmackDown's Big E and Sheamus, PWTorch's Wade Keller and Brandon LeClair talked about WWE's booking of the two men.

LeClair stated that even though he felt like Big E is being held back in a feud with Sheamus, last week's angle was pretty well executed. He also talked about Sheamus' current role in WWE and how WWE don't have any major plans for the SmackDown Superstar.

''I've been a little bit skeptical of keeping Big E embroiled with Sheamus for so long. It's pretty clear that they don't have huge plans for Sheamus. He is the King Corbin role where he just fights babyfaces on the way up. And he is going to serve as a stepping stone. He's sort of the Gatekeeper.''

It is quite surprising that WWE have decided to use a former multi-time WWE Champion like Sheamus in a gatekeeper's role. Hopefully, he will get a legit push sometime soon where he can establish himself as SmackDown's Celtic Warrior again.
