The 2025 Royal Rumble is mere hours away with 30 men and 30 women hoping to secure a championship match at WrestleMania 41. On a recent edition of the Pat McAfee Show, however, Sheamus shared what he’ll do should he stand tall in Indianapolis.
“I’m going right back after Bron Breakker… I need to be complete and become WWE’s first ever Ultimate Grand Slam Champion.”
Sheamus’s quest to become a Grand Slam Champion has fuelled the Irishman for years, as he is only missing the Intercontinental Championship from his collection. The ‘Ultimate Grand Slam’ is a term for someone who’s held a World title, both mid-card titles, a tag-team title, in addition to winning the Royal Rumble, Money in the Bank, and King of the Ring.
2025 Royal Rumble: Preview, Matches, How to Watch
Sheamus won the 2012 Royal Rumble match and would follow-up by winning the World Heavyweight Champion in just 18 seconds at WrestleMania 28. A victory this weekend would make Sheamus the eleventh two-time winner of the iconic match-type. This will prove easier said than done, however, as this year’s Men’s Rumble will be a stacked affair including Roman Reigns, CM Punk, John Cena, and more.
No wrestler has ever used their Royal Rumble opportunity on a mid-card title, but Sheamus is ready to make history this April. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Sheamus and his unlikely quest to the Intercontinental Championship that stars at the 2025 Royal Rumble.
