WWE SmackDown star Shamus has shared his honest thoughts on his creative direction following his match with GUNTHER at Clash At The Castle 2022.
Sheamus and GUNTHER faced off in an instant classic at the September 2022 premium live event, with the Ring General ultimately pinning the Irish star to retain his Intercontinental Championship.
Speaking with the Daily Star, Sheamus noted that he wasn’t upset about losing this match, but was bothered by how WWE handled him after that.
Believing that WWE wasted his momentum, Sheamus said:
“I’m not upset about that at all. I felt it was great, it was just the type of character Sheamus is, all fists and elbows.
“What I was upset about and what really bothered me was the creative after that.
“I came out of that with so much organic momentum, and it was just wasted. It didn’t go anywhere.
“It was a dead end, just like with WrestleMania. Drew went away because he was injured, but I was ready to go and then just nothing.
“There were no avenues and nowhere to go and that’s frustrating.
“I did the War Games thing (after Clash at the Castle) but that was s**t – that’s how I felt, though others might have felt differently.”
Many fans are invested in Sheamus chasing the Intercontinental Championship, as it’s the last title Sheamus needs to win to officially become a WWE Grand Slam champion.
Unfortunately for Sheamus, he and Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER are now on different brands, with Sheamus remaining on SmackDown and GUNTHER moving to Raw in the 2023 WWE Draft.
Sheamus most recently clashed with the Ring General at WrestleMania 39, when he, GUNTHER and Drew McIntyre faced off in a threeway title bout.
Drew McIntyre will challenge for GUNTHER’s gold in singles action at SummerSlam.
