WWE icon Sheamus has expressed his disappointment at not being included in the lineup for WrestleMania 41, describing it as a challenging experience. The accomplished four-time world champion, who made a comeback last year after a significant shoulder injury, admitted that missing out on such a monumental event was tough to bear.
Sheamus’s last appearance prior to WrestleMania was at the Royal Rumble, where he demonstrated his ongoing commitment and passion for wrestling. Despite his experience and accolades, including competing in many WrestleManias, he conveyed a strong desire to continue being an active participant in WWE events. “I want to be in the mix. I’m more passionate now about my job than I ever have been,” he stated, emphasizing his love for performing in front of live crowds and delivering thrilling matches.
During the event, former rival John Cena made headlines by defeating Cody Rhodes and breaking Ric Flair’s record for the most world championship reigns. While Sheamus did not appear during WrestleMania, he had suggested an involvement in the Fatal four-way Intercontinental title match, hoping to compete for the title that had eluded him throughout his illustrious 15-year career.
Sheamus remains focused on his goal of capturing the Intercontinental Championship to achieve the status of the first-ever ultimate Grand Slam Champion in WWE. He acknowledged the challenges of not being part of WrestleMania, stating, “If you have passion for what you do you don’t want to miss that.”
Looking ahead, WWE is set to return to the U.K. and Ireland in August, providing Sheamus with a renewed opportunity to showcase his talents and continue building his legacy within the wrestling world. This relentless passion displayed by Sheamus serves as a reminder to fans of the commitment that wrestlers have to their craft.
