More Success And Demotion To Mid Card
The League of Nations
In 2015, WWE formed a faction named The League of Nations, Sheamus was the leader of this faction. This stable was not very well received but The Celtic Warrior’s success continued.

WWE organized a tournament to crown the new WWE Champion. Roman Reigns won the tournament and Sheamus cashed in his contract on him to take the title away from him.
The Bar
In 2016 he teamed up with Cesaro after a long feud with him. Together they were known as The Bar. They had been an excellent Tag Team and they were together in the business for three long years. Together they also won multiple Tag Team Championship gold in WWE. Their team was defunct in 2019.
United States Champion
Slowly he was turning out to be a mid card and he was losing his main event status. But he never stopped winning championships. At WrestleMania 37, he challenged Matt Riddle for the WWE United States Championship. He won the title and so far that was his last championship win in WWE.
He dropped the United States Championship at SummerSlam to Damian Priest. It’s been more than two years but he is yet to win any Championship in WWE. He has won almost all the championships in the promotion excluding one title, and that is the prestigious WWE Intercontinental Championship.
Return to Mid Card
In 2022 he formed a new action named The Brawling Brutes. He was the leader of faction and Ridge Holland & Butch are the other members of the faction. Butch worked under the ring name of Pete Dunne in the NXT & NXT UK. The faction is still intact and their doing a very good job together. They also challenged Bloodline inside WarGames chamber at Survivor Series last year.
Feud with Gunther
In 2022, Sheamus had a brief feud with the WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther over the title; the title that he could never win. Overall he lost the feud to Gunther but his performance was massively praised by the fans and the critics. It was indeed one of the best WWE feuds in recent years.
He delivered multiple 5 star matches while being in this feud. The match that took place at Clash at the Castle 2022 was one of the best from last year. We hope he gets to win the IC Championship in the future. He is indeed one of the biggest legends of WWE.
Iconic Quotes from Sheamus
“I think what Brendan Rodgers did was right; I thought it was successful. He was able to show that he was able to change several players, prove to everybody in the team that no-one’s guaranteed a spot, rest a lot of key players, and at the same time walk away with a very reputable result.”
“When I first came in, I won a world championship pretty fast. Then I worked with John Morrison and Daniel Bryan, became King of the Ring, went back to ‘SmackDown,’ became the world champion again, won the Rumble, did a lot of things, went away after an injury.”
“We need to make the bullies aware of what they’re doing, why it’s wrong, and the effects it has on the kids who they are doing it to. You can see the light bulbs going off in these kids’ heads when I say this. I try to put them in the situation of those being bullied. It just makes them aware.”
“Being the U.S. champion is a big deal for me. Knowing that my ancestors built this country, it’s kind of like, the Irish were treated badly in this country for a long time, with a lot of tacky Irish stereotypes, so to me, it’s kind of like a bragging right.”
“I remember hearing the name… ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – what the hell is that?’ But I was hit by the bug as well. I used to watch the cartoon every morning before I went to school, played the video game at the arcades, and was a big fan of the comics.”
“Wrestling, for me, was always something I wanted to do, and it, working in IT, was just a way to get financially looked after; I went and wrestled on the side because you don’t make any money when you’re starting off, and you don’t have any name value.”
“As for character, there is no doubt that the greatest of all time is The Undertaker, right? Look at all the time he has spent in the business and everything he has achieved. He is one of the greatest in history, and I will remember him forever.”

Other Details
Farrelly was an IT Technician. Once he spoke about it publicly; “You know, the funny thing was with IT, I was never really a tech type of person, I was better with people; good at dealing with people; I had technical experience, I knew the nitty gritty; I could never be a programmer or anything but I knew my way around. Wrestling for me was always something I wanted to do, and it working in IT was just a way to get financially looked after; I went and wrestled on the side because you don’t make any money when you’re starting off and you don’t have any name value.”
