What Do You Do With Sheamus Now?

The WWE once felt like it had too much filler. Sheamus was one of those guys during this time that was getting filler matches, getting no real direction. He eventually won the Royal Rumble and the World title. The WWE once again feels like it is heading down the realm of filler. It feels like there are some guys that are just there. The WWE has to find something for them to do. You often either see them feuding for someone way too long or just left with no real direction at all. They might get tossed into someone else's feud.

What about Sheamus? He may have the briefcase, but does he have a true direction? He had a feud brewing with Randy Orton around the time he won Money in the Bank. That feud just got boring. Thankfully, it is over. I am definitely not suggesting the WWE continue that feud. Randy Orton has moved on. Sheamus is just there. What would I suggest for him?

How about going to your reserves and having Sheamus feud with a former World Champion that also won Money in the Bank once? He's a face, so that should make it even easier to set this feud up. I am talking about Jack Swagger. And I am not talking about just one random match on Main Event. Develop a true feud here. It is obvious Swagger would lose the feud in the end, but he can at least do for Sheamus what he did for Rusev last year. Not only would it be giving Swagger something to do, it might help Sheamus look a little more interesting.

A wrestler with the briefcase does not need to look interesting to successfully cash it in. There are a lot of instances where Mr. Money in the Bank looked pretty mediocre and still won the title. Then there is Sandow. He did not look good and he is the only man to win the briefcase and never have held a World title in the WWE. Sheamus has already held World titles. The mediocre treatment does not suggest he will fail to cash in, but I think it does suggest that they are not grooming him to be an A+ player. If they were doing a worse job with him than they are, I would be more confident that they wouldn't actually give him the title. And that would be such a waste of the briefcase. Until he does cash in, however, they are wasting the situation by not doing more with him.
