Over his legendary career, Sheamus has just about done it all. He’s been WWE & World Heavyweight Champion, Tag Team Champion, United States Champion, and has won Money in the Bank, the Royal Rumble, and King of the Ring. All that’s missing from his trophy case is the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
He’d win a Fatal Five way match to put him on the right track, and tonight in Cardiff – we are going to get a fight. The WWE Intercontinental Championship is held by GUNTHER, who is one of the hardest hitters in all of professional wrestling. Sheamus is more than willing to match that power and aggression here tonight, and we could have one of the hardest hitting fights in WWE history here.
