Sheamus has won almost every championship in the WWE. The one title that he has not won yet is the Intercontinental Championship. Recently, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion opened up about how the “workhorse” title has eluded him.
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet on his Insight Podcast, Sheamus shared that he was always focused on the Intercontinental Title. But still, the championship is cursed and thus he can’t ever capture that belt.
“You say that, right? It’s the IC curse of The Celtic Warrior. It’s the one thing I can’t win. The irony is that it’s the first title I really became focused on because Macho Man was in a feud with Steamboat over it. So when I started watching Macho Man was the first IC champion. So the one title that I was exposed to as a fan is the one I can’t win, which has become this kind of crusade. But it’s definitely an IC curse for me.”
The Celtic Warrior also mentioned that he wants to become the first-ever Ultimate Grand Slam Champion. The Ultimate Grand Slam Champion is one who has won every title, the King of the Ring tournament, and the Royal Rumble.
“Ultimate Grand Slam Champion. It’s basically the first one to win everything. It’s true King of the Ring as well is in there, Rumble, all the rest of them. Jesus. I was almost one of the longest reigning World Heavyweight Champions too but Big Show messed that up, but I was close. I think I’m like the third longest, whatever. But, yeah, it’s been a hell of a ride. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine that I’m going into my 18th year with the company,” Sheamus said.
Can Sheamus become the first Ultimate Grand Slam Champion?
