Drew and Sheamus, something in the works

[Brahma Bull]

I have wanted drew, sheamus, and barrett to form a stable for some time. They pretty much represent the UK, sorry whales. It seems like the rumble showed that drew and sheamus may work together in the future. How do you guys like the idea of drew and sheamus forming a tag team? I think that they could play up how both ireland and scotland were always shit on by england and how they come from countries of opression. Thoughts, opinions?

 

[CHAOS]

I was begging for them to team up as soon as they were both on the roster, and they did tease it at the rumble, I think Striker even called them the Celtic Connection as a possible team name.
However, I think they are both established singles superstars so could end up holding each other back. I would still be pleased to see them work together as a team, lord knows they need a good tag team in the WWE because the current tag division is dyer.

 

[RazorSharp]

First of all, it would not be a UK team since Sheamus is IRISH. Which hasn't been apart of the United Kingdom since 1921. Get your Geography right. The name I would give the stable is The Anglo-Celtic Connection

 

[Planetslick]

they could be a really good formidable team i just don't see it happening at least not until after WM it looks to me almost certain that Drew is gonna do something with Edge surrounding Kelly Kelly there team work last night may have been WWE planting the seed of somthing later in the year maybe after the draft? when you can have both guys on the same brand

 

[TheOneBigWill]

There is more of a backstory behind the scenes and connecting both from their FCW days; but the question is would the WWE consider scrapping both of their current single's careers to merely form another tandem/duo/unit/what have you, for no better reason than to simply add one more team to a very poor Tag Team division.

I say no.

A little over a year ago, when Sheamus won the Heavyweight Championship at TLC against Cena, they showed a backstage shot of Sheamus running into McIntyre, and they kinda had a "thing" there. It was nothing more than the WWE playing off the connection that people KNOW about, but not adding or expanding on it.

Sheamus recently won the King of the Ring, which at this point has done nothing more than given him a new gimmick to toy around with until Triple H returns to finally finish off whatever could be left from their feud (that is already getting forgotten the longer it's held off).

Meanwhile, McIntyre has recently fallen into a new storyline of his own with Kelly Kelly that reminds me of that regarding Christian/Jericho/Trish Stratus, or even Kane/Lita when Lita was having Kane do her dirty work.

I think both are currently tied up in their own single's career and different directions, that to bring them (guys from two different Brands) together, could hurt them worse than help them. At least at this time. Now, when the assumed yearly Draft comes back around - should they end up on the same Brand, then; by all means bring them together and work them into a unit to help one another at that time. Not until they're finished with their current paths, now, however.

EDIT: Also, Kelly Kelly helped Edge, but the more revolving story (at least at this time) is that she ATTACKED Vickie Guerrero, which could lead McIntyre and Ziggler to feud - not Edge and McIntyre. Perhaps it'll turn into a story where Kelly and Ziggler are revealed as something? Eh, another discussion for another thread, just wanted to point out that the issue at the Rumble doesn't directly indicate an Edge/McIntyre showdown is looming.

 

[KoC417]

They COULD form a decent tag team or they could put together an intense stable much like the World Elite in TNA (but obviously booked differently...)

You could even throw William Regal into the mix as he could be more of a "mentor" etc etc. Sheamus and Drew together could be a very nice fit. But ONLY, and I stress ONLY if they remain together for a decent amount of time. WWE has done a fairly good job of keeping MOST tag teams together and if they were to form another one, IMO anyways to satisfy personal pet peeves they'd need to be together for at least 6-8months solid before considering breaking them up.

while i agree it could go either way with Ziggler/Vicky/Edge/Kelly/Drew i think what it does do is add a lot of dimensions to the Elimination Chamber match i really prefer an Edge/McIntyre story as i think it could help move Mcintyre upto main even level status Edge is great at raising peoples game and i really thin Drew has a lot of untapped potential

 

[CJ The Pirate]

Also Edge/McIntyre is Face/Heel where McIntyre/Ziggler is Heel/Heel and I can't see and don't want either man to make a face turn. That'd be career suicide.

I've been waiting on this since the Kelly/Drew thing started. She's being pushed as the Top Diva on Smackdown as Laycool has likely run it's course now and when it's a Valet in that role, she always takes her 'Man' with her.

 

[Dzone]

I remember when Sheamus first became "King" and had black/gold and then Drew's colours became black/gold someone made a comment about them forming with Barret to make some British (/Irish) group...

PS Why can't we have heel vs heel fueds? Like initially both superstars would be heel and try and get the biggest heat by outdoing eachother? Obviously it would end with probably a face turn but doesn't have to if done right...

 

[thef'nshow]

I agree they can be allies but a tag team no, Sheamus is still a main eventer...after wrestlemania he can still have feuds with guys like edge, rey mysterio, undertaker, nexus, corre

And Drew can still be a upper middle carder on Raw (if drafted)

Whether or not Drew McIntyre is currently a heel or not, he seems to be getting pops from the crowd when his entrance is announced in some arenas. I'm starting to feel he's having the early-orton status. Where it's half and half about him.

 

[Hot Soup]

Drew and Sheamus would make an interesting pair , but it's not really needed at the moment. If they did go down that road in the future fair enough , but not at the moment.

If they did it as a proper reboot of the tag division , as in giving it the respect it deserves and having 6 or 7 good teams involved in it then great. There's going to be periods in every wrestlers career where they aren't quite in the main picture or a meaningful singles feud so fair enough if it was done in one of those lulls.

And as has been mentioned above you could always have a larger faction , throw Barrett in the mix, ( yes as was pointed out Sheamus is Republic of Ireland not Northern Ireland , but this is "sports entertainment" ) and you've also got Mason Ryan from Wales, pretty much someone from the four corners of the British Isles and Irish Republic.

 

[parksy69_2004]

Would be good to see the CELTIC CONNECTION as both wrestlers are just kind of in the mix right now in singles action. But don't they both have to be on the same brand first?

 

[Katherine]

I think it would be a great idea. Sheamus, Drew and Wade could all create quite a stir, as I think that they are all great as heels and the whole "laugh while you beat your opponent to a pulp" deal.

 

[rge2010]

Sheamus and Drew as a Tag Team? Yeh I say so. Would give the Tag division a good push. Have them win the belts and do some damage. Make them strong. There is a connection there. I dont see what halm this would do...Miz/Jericho anyone?

 

[thephenomenalone2015]

The Phenomenal One's debut post on Wrestlezone, here we go.

Sheamus and Drew would be a good tag team, especially since WWE's tag team division is a wreck (see Vladmir and Santino as tag team champions) and that they already have the "Celtic Connection" sort of gimmick as it is. WWE doesn't seem to have either superstar going after any titles, and we haven't seen Sheamus vs. John Morrison go anywhere, and Drew has the Kelly Kelly storyline, which I can't see going very far.

So, I think that if Drew were to go to Raw, or Sheamus goes to Smackdown, it would be a great opportunity to rebuild the tag division.

 

[THTRobtaylor]

More likely would be that long term Mason Ryan and Drew would team as "The Celtic Connection" as Scotland and Wales are more allied... That team would be much better I think.

It is good that they are starting to build alliances between people in advance of the draft.

 

[JGlass]

And once again people try to force great individual superstars into an unnecessary stable.

Sheamus is one of the most talented heels on the WWE roster. He's great on the ring, he's great on the stick, and has proven that he can have the audience hating him with ease. He doesn't need a stable to help him get heat.

Wade Barrett is already in a stable, but unlike this one you concocted, The Corre has a purpose. He also carried Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater on his back, for without Wade they are pretty much nothing. Why hang these two out to dry and ruin a developing storyline for a stable that makes very little sense?

Drew is the only guy who could maybe benefit from a stable. He's got the in ring talent as far as I'm concerned, and he's not bad on the mic, but he has trouble drawing heat from the crowd. A stable could help him, but they don't need to drag down Sheamus or Wade to help him.

Sorry but eh? I'm Scottish, lived in Scotland my whole life and I can't agree with that at all.

Anyway on topic. I reckon it would be a good team. I'd rather see Sheamus in about the ME picture. However if after 'Mania one of them is drafted and they both have nothing better to do I see no reason why this shouldn't be given a go.

 

[Scuba 06]

Wow, sounds about as exciting as Legacy. That was a real group of stars huh ? How any of these guys, especially McIntyre has fans is beyond me. Every time any of these come out, I change the channel, all these guys put me to sleep.

 

[CripplerFrogSplash]

Seeing as Drew & Sheamus have known & wrestled each other since their matches back in Irish Whip Wrestling in Dublin before they came to WWE, I feel they will have natural chemistry as a team.

However, I feel it's not right at this time to have them as a team. Drew is currently involved with Kelly Kelly, & it will spiral off into a Vickie/Ziggler fued as you lot have mentioned. After Wrestlemania, when Sheamus' feud with Triple H boils down & he has nothing left on RAW; he will get drafted to Smackdown & this team could slowly start to form & do things, hopefully making the tag division more vibrant.
