Sheamus loved his match against Gunther at Clash at the Castle, but the follow-up? Not so much.
SmackDown Superstar Sheamus recently sat down with Matty Paddock of Daily Star. When asked if he was upset about losing to Gunther at Clash at the Castle, Sheamus revealed he wasn’t upset about that at all; it was his creative direction afterward that bothered him.
“I’m not upset about that at all,” Sheamus said. “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*** – that’s how I felt, though others might have felt differently.”
Sheamus wants to win the Intercontinental Championship before he retires
Despite being on SmackDown, Sheamus made it clear that his goal is to win the Intercontinental Championship.
“I’m not much of a politician, to be honest with you. I just roll my sleeves up, get in there, and get stuck in,” Sheamus said. “The journey is just as important, that story of me trying to get my hands on the title as it’s the one title I haven’t got.
“It’s still a fresh story. Even with Gunther and Drew’s match at SummerSlam, people are still mentioning me because it’s still my story. I’d definitely like to retire with [the title], but that stuff is out of my control. I can just do what I can do.”
