Top 5 opponents for Sheamus at WrestleMania 30

Who should Sheamus face at WrestleMania XXX?

The Celtic Warrior Sheamus made his return to WWE, entering the annual Royal Rumble match at the No. 17 position. The Celtic Warrior had been sidelined with a torn labrum, missing the second half of 2013 and losing a great deal of momentum as well.

In Sheamus’ case, the character actually felt more refreshed than out of place. Fans were given a break from his one-note babyface character. Back and re-invigorated, he should most certainly play a major role in the upcoming WrestleMania XXX event.

However, the upper card of the PPV already seems filled thanks to the returns of major stars. It leaves Sheamus without a major feud heading into the last weeks of WrestleMania. But with so many talented Superstars on the roster, even a mid card match for someone of  Sheamus’ caliber could result in a potentially show-stealing performance.

Who could the former WWE and World Heavyweight champion compete against at WrestleMania?

Let’s take a look at some of the more intriguing as well as likely candidates.

5. Wade Barrett

Bad News Barrett seems like a person who can go places if given the right push. Wade Barrett was always great on mic and can work a good promo. His work as a heel was good as a leader of Nexus. And he is technically good enough to compete against the very best in the business.

A feud with the Great White can therefore be hugely beneficial for Barrett and can lead to a good storyline as well for both the characters.
