With a red-hot temper that matches his fiery head of hair, Sheamus never backs down from a fight, and has never been in one he didn’t think he could win. Hailing from Dublin, the ginger-headed juggernaut brings to the ring a ferocious offensive style that harkens to his noble and heroic Celtic ancestors. Whether by upbringing or by birthright, this modern-day Celtic Warrior was fated for combat.After journeying from ECW to WWE in October 2009, Sheamus ravenously sunkhis teeth into the competition, eventuallydefeating John Cena to become the first Irish-born WWE Champion in a Tables Match at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs.Not one to rest on his laurels following a momentous victory over one of the most decorated WWE Superstars in history, Sheamus has since become a two-time WWE Champion, the 2010 King of the Ring, the winner of the 2012 Royal Rumble – an honor which paved the wayfor him to defeat Daniel Bryan in 18 seconds at WrestleMania to win the World Heavyweight Title – and most recently a two-time United States Champion. Whether wearing a title or not,though, Sheamus has always been a fighting champion.And The Celtic Warrior had his fair share of challengers since beginning his second U.S. Title reign. After dispatchingCesaro and The Miz in separate challenges, Sheamus came up against perhaps the greatest threat to the championship in its history: Rusev.Though Sheamus fought valiantly in a special title defense exclusively on WWE Network following the Nov. 3, 2014 edition of Raw, The Super Athlete proved too dominant. After two superkicks and aprolonged Accolade, The Celtic Warrior passed out from the pain, ending his reign as champion.By not tapping out, Sheamus had good reason to challenge Rusev in a rematch for the U.S. Title on the Nov. 10, 2014, edition of Raw. He was ultimately unsuccessful due to interference from members of The Authority, who soon after the match successfully courted Rusev to their side for the impending Survivor Series Match at the titular event.Sheamus joined Team Cena to get even with The Authority and The Super Athlete, but would be taken out and injured by his enemies on the Nov. 17, 2014, edition of Raw, leaving him unable to compete in the contest.Beginning on the Feb. 9, 2015, episode of Raw, videos began to air heralding Sheamus return to the squared circle. Nothing could prepare the WWE Universefor both the physical and mental changes that Sheamus would reveal upon his reemergence, however.Sporting a giant mohawk and braided beard like Celtic warriors of old, Sheamuscame to the ring after an IntercontinentalTitle Match between Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan on the March 30 Raw. It seemed that Sheamus was arriving to help the duo fend off an assault from former champion Bad News Barrett. Once scaring Barrett off, however, Sheamus turned his attention to the weakened Superstars and unloaded on them both with punches and Brogue Kicks.The Celtic Warrior has since revealed that hes tired of seeing the WWE Universe favor smaller underdog Superstars over himself. He set out to make an example of Ziggler in a Kiss Me Arse Match at Extreme Rules but ended up losing to The Showoff. Despite the defeat, The Celtic Warrior ended up attacking Ziggler after the match and forcing Dolphs face against his posterior.Although Sheamus made it as far as the semi-finals of the 2015 King of the Ring Tournament, he was defeated by Neville after Ziggler caused a distraction. After the match, a brawl between Sheamus and Ziggler erupted, and the rivals had tobe separated by WWE officials. The Irish Superstar defeated The Showoff at WWE Payback 2015, when The Celtic Warrior Brogue Kicked a bloodied Ziggler for the victory. His next big effort, at WWE Elimination Chamber 2015, saw him fall short of the vacant Intercontinental Title. At WWE Money in the Bank 2015, Sheamus felled six other Superstars en route to The Celtic Warriors first Money in the Bank Contract. Sheamus suffered a setback however at WWE Battleground, where he lost a toughly fought contest against Randy Orton.After Orton thwarted an attempted Money in the Bank cash-in, Sheamus clashed with WWEs Apex Predator once again at SummerSlam. It took two Brogue Kicks, but The Celtic Warrior was able to put the venomous Viper away. Sheamus attempted another cash-in against the battle-weary WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins, at Night of Champions, but the returning Demon Kane returned to WWE and annhilated both The Celtic Warrior and The Architect in a stunning show of ferocity. When will Mr. Money in the Bankstrike next? Most recently at Survivor Series, Sheamus cashed in his Money in the Bank contract, stunning Roman Reigns with two Brogue Kicks just moments after The Big Dog captured the World Title in a WWE World Heavyweight Title Tournament. As a result, Sheamus stood tall, once again, as the WWE World Heavweight Champion. Without question, Sheamus is a dominant powerhouse of a Superstar, with a nearly unstoppable arsenal that includes the Brogue Kick, White Noise, the High Cross, the Irish Curse Backbreaker and the Cloverleaf submission maneuver. He has used that dangerous offense to go head-to-head some of WWE’s best including Cena, Triple H, Randy Orton and Big Show.
