Sheamus set to take on Triple H at WWE Wrestlemania

“A lot of people were saying about John Cena that he fell through the table, that I didn’t push him through the table,” Sheamus said of his December victory over WWE champ Cena at the Tables, Ladders and Chairs event.

“You get these critics, but this time when I go to Wrestlemania and I beat Triple H, this is really going to cement my place in the top tier in the WWE.”

Sheamus is one of a new, younger crop of wrestlers with attitude who have been making waves in the WWE.  The 6’6”flame-haired, pale-skinned Celtic Warrior admits to watching and admiring the venerable veteran Triple H while growing up in Dublin, but that’s where the flattery ends.

“Well, I don’t know about being friends. We’re not real friends,” Sheamus said when asked about his off-screen relationship with Triple H.

“There are no friends in the WWE.  Everyone is out for themselves. Basically what this match is to me is a chance to take my career to another level.”

On Monday night during the Raw telecast, Sheamus gave Triple H a preview of what to expect at Wrestlemania on Sunday when he put his big boot to the head of a rampaging Randy Orton to secure the win for his side in a handicap tag team match.  Though Triple H was also in action and bounced Sheamus out of the ring after the contest ended, the Irishman is brimming with confidence and promises that he won’t be denied at Wrestlemania.

Sheamus’ career since joining the WWE, the most famous pro wrestling/multi-media business in the world, has been on fire.  He first debuted as part of the WWE’s ECW brand in June, and moved to the top-rated Raw broadcast in October. Since then he’s mowed through a succession of high-profile opponents, culminating with the championship victory over the WWE’s top draw, Cena, at Tables, Ladders and Chairs in December.

“Everything’s going fantastic. If you think about it I debuted on ECW in June, and in less than a year I’ve been WWE champion. I’ve done main events on pay per views, and now I’m going to Wrestlemania,” Sheamus says.

“I don’t think I could have written it better. I’m just glad to represent the Irish. For such a small country for me to do that, I’m lovin’ it.  I wouldn’t change a thing.”

The schedule is intense – tapings of Raw followed by several WWE live appearances throughout the country each week – which doesn’t leave much time for Sheamus to visit his home base in St. Augustine, Florida.  But he is looking forward to finally making it home to Ireland next month, as the WWE has shows set for Dublin and Belfast.

“I can’t wait. My only regret is that I’m not bringing the WWE championship home with me, but if bring a win over Triple H, that’ll be great,” Sheamus said.
