Sheamus Says He Should Be The First Guy WWE Think Of For A Show In London: “Why Should I Be Crossing My Fingers?”

Sheamus wants on the Money In The Bank card.

Currently without a match on WWE’s return to the UK, Sheamus has been unable to score a spot in the Money In The Bank ladder match, nor is he scheduled for another match at the event as of this writing.

In an interview with Metro, Sheamus expressed his belief that he should be on the card for WWE Money in the Bank and that he should be the first guy WWE think of for a show in London.

“I mean, selfishly I should. If it’s with Ridge too, that’d be great. But listen, last time we were in Wales [for Clash At The Castle, I tore the bleeding roof off the place. Nobody came close. Roman, Drew didn’t come close – and it was built around that match. Nobody came close to [me and GUNTHER]. Every time I’m in there, I blow the roof off the place. Doesn’t matter if it’s in Cardiff, Wales, doesn’t matter if it’s in Lexington, Kentucky, MSG, the reactions I get are insane. Every time I get out there, I put on a banger. I should be the first person they’re thinking of – especially when a pay-per-view comes to Europe like that. So yeah, a hundred percent, I should be in there,”

“Why should I be crossing my fingers? You know what I mean? At this stage, 16 years. I’m not just sitting back and going, “I’m happy to be here”, and collect a paycheck. I’ve never been like that. For me, it’s always been about [the] competitive side, the performing aspect. Everything else doesn’t even come into my mind. Everything I’ve done the last 16 years, I should be the number one name that they think of, especially when a pay-per-view comes to London, a stone’s throw away from Dublin, it’s insane. Especially when I cut my teeth there,”

Sheamus

With the Money In The Bank ladder match now full, it is unlikely Sheamus will find his way onto the card, but his Brawling Brutes buddy Butch will look to capture the briefcase in London.
