Sheamus Injured

This injury looks a little more serious than what happened with Randy Orton recently. Sheamus has been injured and will be out for a few months, possibly half a year. He had been used scarcely in recent weeks since that injury at Money in the Bank. However, I really do not see this as devastating as Randy Orton, Mr. Money in the Bank, possibly having suffered a serious injury. Sheamus wasn't really in the midst of a big angle right now.

The WWE is still losing a top face for a few months. Which wrestler should get that spot while Sheamus is away? It might sound crazy, but how about Kofi Kingston? Replacing a top face, a former World Champion, with a midcarder? Sounds stupid, but Kofi Kingston is a guy who deserves a better push. I've been saying that for a long time. This is the kind of mentality the WWE should have in the coming months. Pretend Sheamus is still around. Whoever would get a feud against Sheamus, give that guy a feud against Kofi Kingston. Sheamus vs. Ryback? Turn that into Kofi Kingston vs. Ryback, which would have been a good feud right now. Sheamus vs. Bray Wyatt? Turn that into Kofi Kingston vs. Bray Wyatt. Go as far as Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio? Yes, even turn that into Kofi Kingston vs. Alberto Del Rio.

Some people might say that this is a matter of Kofi Kingston needing to step up, or whoever else might stand a chance to get pushed better with Sheamus out. I don't see it like that. The WWE needs to step up and push these other guys better. The NFL preseason is getting started. I always hear talk about young talent needing to step up to impress the coaches to earn a spot on the main roster when the season starts, and possibly a starting spot. What would it mean for some of these guys to be extremely impressive and the head coach to stick with players that may be struggling? It's not a one-way street. Impressing and getting the job done does not automatically lead to you getting a spot or a push. Kofi Kingston has proven his potential already. The WWE has just lost a top face that can work very well in the ring. Kofi Kingston can work very well in the ring and fans like him. You can earn something, but someone actually has to give you what you earn in these situations. A bump to the upper-midcard for a few months would be better than Kofi Kingston chasing after midcard titles, getting lost in the shuffle, or worst of all, squashing Jinder Mahal on Superstars every week.
