Former WWE Champion and United States Champion Sheamus has had a great career in the company, winning multiple championships during his time in the company. He is also not afraid to share his thoughts on WWE’s decisions. It seems he has a very unconventional move planned as well.
Sheamus has certainly accomplished a lot during his time in the company and has earned the respect of his fans and peers alike. Sheamus also recently revealed that he wants to be the first ultimate grand slam champion in WWE.
While speaking with Graham Matthews, Sheamus talked about possibly challenging for a title that is not a major one in WWE. Sheamus stated that he wants to challenge for the WWE Intercontinental Champion should he win the Men’s Royal Rumble match this week.
“I don’t think it’s a bad idea, it’s a great idea. I was thinking about it the other day and it’s the last title I need to be the Grand Slam Champion. When I was on SmackDown during the ThunderDome era, it eluded me. Then, I went to Raw and was separated again. Now, I’m back on SmackDown and we had the gauntlet match that Sami Zayn won.
It’s the last thing I need and it seems to be the hardest thing to get, which is kind of incredible if you think of everything I’ve won over my career. It’s the one title I haven’t been able to get my hands on. It’s what I want and what I need to be the first-ever ultimate grand slam champion and completely cement my legacy with everything I’ve won. It’s got a spot upstairs in my office right on my shelf where it’s going to go when I get it. I haven’t lost sight of it. I’ll do anything I can to get my hands on it before my career ends.”
We will have to wait and see whether Sheamus will end up winning the Royal Rumble match and then challenging Shinsuke Nakamura for the intercontinental championship at WrestleMania 38 or not.
