Sheamus isn’t happy about missing WrestleMania 41. During an interview with Alex McCarthy of Daily Mail, The Celtic Warrior revealed that he was fit & healthy, but WWE still didn’t book him for the biggest show of the year.
He revealed that he pitched being in the Intercontinental Championship match at WrestleMania 41, but WWE rejected his idea.
Here’s what The Celtic Warrior said:
“I was gutted that I wasn’t at Mania. The last appearance that I had was at the Rumble. I want to be in the mix. I want to be there. I’m more passionate now about my job than I ever have been.
Some of the guys are like, ‘You’ve been at so many WrestleManias, so it’s okay.’ But it’s not okay. I love what I do. I love going out there in front of a crowd. I love putting on banger after banger. I love that intensity.
I love setting the bar so high that everybody including the main event guys who have months and months to prepare are trying to catch up with me.
Until the wheels come off and I can’t do it anymore, I want to go out there. I don’t want to miss anything and I don’t want to miss a WrestleMania. It was tough. I’m not going to lie, it was really, really hard.
I had pitched to hopefully get in the Intercontinental Title stuff again. They’re probably tired about me talking about it but that’s the one title that I have left to become the first ever ultimate Grand Slam Champion in WWE. That’s the Holy Grail, that’s it.
But I wasn’t happy sitting at home. I don’t want to miss WrestleMania. I don’t want to go there and not be part of the biggest show of the year. It’s tough for me. I don’t care, if you have passion for what you do, you don’t want to miss that.”
Sheamus recently returned on RAW and defeated Austin Theory. He’s now scheduled to face Grayson Waller on the next episode of RAW.
