How will Barrett do with this gimmick? How far will the WWE go with him? Barrett usually plays his roles well. He was good as the leader of Nexus. The "Bad News" gimmick was great for him. Even when he is left as a generic heel, he still does that well. Winning King of the Ring sometimes leads to bigger pushes. Barrett has held the Intercontinental Championship a few times, but he can do better than that. The WWE Championship is currently held by a heel and the faces chasing after him are many. I do not imagine Barrett being pushed as a contender any time soon. On the other side of things, winning King of the Ring might have been only a gimmick change for him and he will remain in the same midcard position he was in prior to winning it. The least they could do is give him another midcard title run sometime this year. I think he can play the gimmick well, but the worst thing the WWE can do is have him job too much.
Sheamus is a former King of the Ring. He has been teaming with Barrett lately. The topic I want to talk about, does it feel like Sheamus has lost momentum since his return? When he returned, he seemed like a strong heel. He seemed to have reinvented himself. Yes, he looks stupid, but he was fresher than when he was last around. He has lost a few matches. I am not a fan of Sheamus, but I feel they dropped the ball. They could have developed him to be a true force. They could have then used him to put over Roman Reigns, feud with John Cena over the United States Championship, or work with some other worthy face that can use the rub. I am not saying he needed to win this year's King of the Ring. There are a lot of ways they could have had him lose his match. But it just seems like he has found his old, usual spot on the roster.
