To become a WWE Grand Slam Champion, a superstar needs to have captured one of WWE’s world titles, one of the existing tag team titles, and both the United States and Intercontinental Championships. The old format also involved championships like the European or Hardcore titles but those have been dropped in the new format.
Counting that, Sheamus is only missing the Intercontinental title and he is poised to achieve the feat at Clash at the Castle 2022. Over on Twitter, he’s also recently declared that he has “One more to complete the full set.”
