WrestleMania, the grand spectacle in the world of professional wrestling, might witness the final chapter of former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus’ illustrious career. Reports indicate that Sheamus’ WWE deal is in its last year, and the Irishman has been conspicuously absent from television.
Despite his recent absence, Sheamus has maintained a vocal presence, consistently calling out the current Intercontinental Champion, Gunther. The two wrestlers engaged in a series of memorable matches in late 2022, culminating in an epic clash at Clash at the Castle.
While their rivalry failed to dethrone Gunther, Sheamus gained significant momentum, rallying the support of over 60,000 fans. With the rumored Gunther vs. Brock Lesnar match no longer in the cards, WWE could revisit the feud on the Road to WrestleMania.

In this scenario, the Imperium leader might refuse to grant another title match to Sheamus, prompting the Irishman to put his career on the line at WrestleMania 40.
Sheamus, having won every WWE title except the Intercontinental Championship, could conclude his 18-year career by putting over Gunther in their trilogy on the grandest stage of them all.
In an interview with Virgin Media Sports Stories, Sheamus expressed his desire to win the Intercontinental Championship and headline WrestleMania before retiring. He emphasized his belief that the match he, Gunther, and Drew McIntyre had stolen the show at WrestleMania, and he aims to achieve these goals in his final year with the company.
Gunther, currently engaged with Jey Uso, seems to lack credible opponents on the Road to WrestleMania. The return of The Celtic Warrior to rekindle the feud remains uncertain, but fans eagerly await developments as the iconic event approaches.
