Sheamus Talks His Position in WWE Dropping in the Past Fews Years, His Feud with Apollo Crews Being Cut Short, Crews’ Ability and More

August 9, 2016

WWE star Sheamus recently spoke with ComicBook.com to promote the new movie “Scooby Doo! and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon” which is available today. Below are some interview highlights:

On the WWE Draft:

“I was so excited to be the sixth round draft pick after being WWE Champion seven months ago, it’s amazing. I mean, wow, to sit there and see your name come out at the very, very end of Smackdown LIVE, it was a proud moment for me, to be honest. Shows how far I’ve gone in the last seven months as a WWE Superstar. Right [Puts his hand in the air, and plunges it down] to the top!”

On his feud with Apollo Crews:

“I think [the Brand split] will be [great]. I just need to get myself a good story. I was looking forward to something with Apollo Crews, helping that kid, and then it was very stop-start. I had the movie with Turtles but I was hoping to get two pay per views out of it, because he’s a great kid, he’s gonna be a great star, just needs time, you know? I love being in the ring with him. The stuff he can do is incredible.”
