"One of the biggest moments of my life" - Sheamus opens up about his iconic match with current WWE Superstar
Top WWE Superstar Sheamus recently reflected on his show-stealing match against Austrian performer Gunther in Cardiff, Wales.
Earlier this month, The Celtic Warrior went one-on-one with the Intercontinental Champion at Clash at the Castle. He was unable to dethrone the champion despite a valiant effort. However, the bout is considered by many to be the best of the veteran's storied WWE career.
During a recent interview with RAW commentator Corey Graves on After The Bell, Sheamus shared an emotional insight into the contest mentioned above.
"It’s taken 14 years Corey, but you know what it doesn’t matter how long it's taken me because that moment in Cardiff was to me the moment of my career. One of the biggest moments of my life and if it’s taken that long that’s even better because I know I have earnt every single cheer and every single part of that experience." (From 41:20 to 41:37)
