Sheamus Celebrates WWE World Title Win Over John Cena: ‘The Ultimate Achievement’
Sheamus, renowned as “The Celtic Warrior”, recently reflected on his pivotal victory in the WWE. Just 166 days after his debut on WWE television, he achieved a career milestone by capturing the WWE Championship. This historic win took place during the 2009 TLC pay-per-view event, where he dramatically sent John Cena, a major figure in WWE, through a table.
Sheamus Reflects on the Ultimate Achievement
During a recent “Raw Recap”, Sheamus spoke about the significance of his title win. He described this accomplishment as a realization of a lifelong dream. “The goal for me always was to be successful and win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. That’s the crème de la crème,” he stated, emphasizing his deep-rooted passion for pro wrestling.
Sheamus recalled being an avid fan throughout his childhood, never missing major WWE events or shows. He began his professional journey with WWE in its developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling, about two years before claiming the championship. Despite feeling somewhat inexperienced on the main roster at the time, he recognized his distinct qualities, particularly his intensity, which he believed set him apart.
Title Reign and Future Matches
Sheamus’s first reign lasted 70 days before John Cena reclaimed the title by winning the 2010 Elimination Chamber match. Fast forward 16 years from their first championship clash, Sheamus and Cena are on a collision course again as Cena approaches the end of his in-ring career. WWE has organized a 16-man tournament, featuring talents from “WWE Raw,” “WWE SmackDown,” and “WWE NXT”, where Sheamus is slated to compete against Shinsuke Nakamura in the opening round.
Sheamus’ Commitment to Wrestling
Comparing himself to Cena, Sheamus noted their similar ages but humorously expressed that he feels his career is just beginning. “I give 110% in every single match, regardless of the event,” he asserted, underlining his dedication to the sport and his determination to continually improve. He remains energized by the thrill of performing and maintains a strong commitment to training.
As the WWE landscape evolves, Sheamus is set to face Nakamura on “Raw”, which is set to take place in Cena’s hometown of Boston, Massachusetts. The match is highly anticipated as both wrestlers bring their unique strengths to the ring.
