Seems we're all looking forward to this like a dentist visit. No chance of improving the ratings and Sheamus has just kind of been there for months.
Is this the worst mitb winner since swagger? Should they have him lose the briefcase to someone?

The sword of Sheamuscles, dangling over everyone's heads.
It's a shameful thing. No, I'm not sorry.
And it's a total catch-22 because almost no-one's looking forward to him as champ but he's a total lame duck for good if he messes it up. If they could have the decision to give him the briefcase back I'm really sure they'd like to.

When he wins the title I hope he turns face and starts talking about old Irish tales and Arse every week. I also hope they bring back Alberto Del Rio and they have a 6 month feud. Then afterwards he can feud with Big Show. That would be epic.

Anybody else remember when the MITB briefcase was first introduced and they talked up how you would have to defend it? Edge defended his against Matt Hardy, RVD against Shelton Benjamin. Why don't they just have Sheamus lose it to someone?

There's only one good thing that could come out of it:  If this were somehow the Main Event at WrestleMania 32. (Also Daniel Bryan needs to win and be the new champion) |

I'm not so sure he is going to cash-in successfully.
He's been booked like a complete afterthought in recent weeks, even moreso than usual MITB winners. It reminds me of when Sandow had the briefcase and I was thinking "How is this guy ever going to have a world title reign?".
And then he didn't. So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Sheamus cashes in on Rollins and then Kane attacks him causing a DQ or something like that.

the one time Reigns should've won something........ Honestly? I'd do one of two things: 1. Roman finishes this neverending Wyatt fued ASAP and proceeds to destroy Sheamus and take the case. or 2. I'd have New Day gank Sheamus and steal the MiTB Case. Either way, Sheamus with the case is just.... *snore* |

They thought his heel run would be much bigger. It turned out to be like his last face run, only as a heel. They can't give him the belt now. He's a good guy for the upper midcard, shouldn't be in the main event.
They could clean up the briefcase situation by having him do the heel "bully" gimmick in NXT, cash in on Balor and either lose or get that belt as Balor gets called up to transition it back to another babyface in NXT.

Man, I just don't get why they are all on Sheamus' nuts. Dude's aight. He's got a unique look, he can have good matches, but there's really not much else to him nor has there ever really been. Dude's been on the main roster for 6 years. He's been given several big pushes and none of them have stuck. At what point do you just say "f*** it" and try somebody else, especially when you have a history of giving up on pushes relatively quick?
I don't know, something about this Sheamus/MITB thing has just really soured me on the guy. Not him as a person but the character I see on TV. Who else has been given as consistently strong of a push as Sheamus in WWE yet has so little to actually show for it? I can't think of anybody.

I just remembered Dolph Ziggler defending his case against Cena too.
Just have Roman/Ambrose win it from him and use it as a device to do the Shield triple threat when Ambrose/Roman wins the Rumble as suggested previosuly.

They never had the MITB contract expire yet. Maybe he can cash it on June 16th (that will be a Thursday, I think Smackdown is on Thursdays)and win the title. Then Triple H can go to the ring and say that he is two days late, the contract is expired since it had been over a year so he did not win the title. It is unfair, because 2016 is a leap year. Sheamus has an extra day.

Has the shield triple threat become the new new nation?
