WWE RAW: 2 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – New title opportunity, rift between top champions (January 25, 2021)

#2 Impressed on WWE RAW - Sheamus

Sheamus competed in two consecutive matches on WWE RAW this week, and he was impressive in both of them. First, he faced John Morrison in a lengthy match that allowed both Superstars to push themselves inside the ring. Sheamus eventually found a way to assert his dominance and picked an impressive victory after an entertaining match.

However, this result did not sit well with The Miz who present on the ringside. He urged for a rematch that led to a two-on-one Handicap Match on WWE RAW. Sheamus took on both Miz and Morrison. The Celtic Warrior took a lot of punishment during this in-ring encounter. Ultimately, he found a brief window of opportunity and did his best in capitalizing upon the same.

In the end, he was outnumbered and could not secure a victory while competing against both Miz and Morrison. That said, his performance on WWE RAW this week deserves a lot of credit. It would be fair to say that Sheamus should be in the conversation about the WWE Championship on the Red brand as we move forward.
