WWE TLC 2015: 5 Stars Who Must Exceed Expectations at the Show

4) Sheamus

Sheamus is set to defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns at WWE TLC in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match.

Despite being the champion, the Celtic Warrior must put on his best performance of the year. He’s been seen as a joke for most of his heel run since he lost a plethora of matches after winning the Money in the Bank briefcase. WWE made this an excuse for him to lose, which brought his stock down to a low-card level.

Sheamus also made a bunch of corny jokes, including calling the Survivor Series crowd “posers” hours before his Money in the Bank cash-in. He also was said to have “tater tots” by Reigns on Raw six days ago (more on this shortly).

Good luck with that making him seem like a serious champion.

Well, for Sheamus to exceed expectations he’s going to need to be serious and aggressive when he steps into the arena. He has to punish Reigns with all the weapons to look like a real, powerful champion who’s looking to destroy his opponent. He has not done this since winning the title off Reigns last month, but WWE TLC may be the ideal and only time for this to happen. If not, could Sheamus be any worse of a champion?
