Shaemus has been on a roller coaster that hasn't stopped going up. He's the current WWE champion and has defeated Cena 3 times already in PPV's. Does anyone see him main eventing Wrestlemania? I also think he'd be a good opponent for the Undertaker at Mania but being on different brands that's probably not going to happen.
Shaemus's chances on Main Eventing Wrestlemania this year?

He'll definitely get a match at WM, but I don't know if it'll be the Main Event. It's a possibility though. I too think he'd be a good opponent for 'Taker as it kind of fits with him going after the biggest baddest dudes in the WWE.
HHH looks to be gone for quite awhile, possibly even September. Theres a strong chance we might get a HHH-Sheamus rematch around Wrestlemania. I don't think thats Main Event worthy though, and I'd rather not see that again.

I agree that Sheamus will certainly be at WM but not in the main event. I don't think he's main event status just yet which is a little odd because they don't really have a lot of WM main eventers left. If I were to fill out my two WM main events today, I'd have to say that both The Undertaker and sadly John Cena would be in it. I have no clue who'd face The Undertaker, but Cena would probably face Wade Barrett more so than Sheamus. I doubt Randy Orton, Edge, Jericho & Big Show would Main Event and I don't see Kane keeping the strap that long to be on SD's side. So odd man out would probably be between Sheamus & Barrett with Barrett getting the nod as I think if they really wanted to build him up post-Nexus angle, a good time would be at Mania where he'd finally defeat Cena one-on-one. I wouldn't put Sheamus on Taker at Mania because it just wouldn't feel right. Maybe he'd be apart of the Money in the Bank, if they kept it. If not, then he'd have a match with either Orton, Edge, Jericho or someone who hasn't appeared in a WWE ring as of yet. A HHH/Sheamus rematch wouldn't do too well as rematches at Mania's are now becoming the norm which isn't the best. So with that being said, I'm not sure where he'd fit in.
I think Sheamus has a great chance to main event Wrestlemania. I do see a rematch between him and HHH for the title and can see him retaining. I think he has a good chance to main event WM simply because i think Miz waits a while before he cashes in MITB. Sheamus has been on a big roller coaster ride and honestly i hope it continues.
I can see a Sheamus vs. Taker match at WM but an HHH Sheamus match seems to have a greater chance of happening. Sheamus is a main event calibur star and as far as im concerned he should main event WM.

I understand not seeing Jericho or Big Show main event Mania but why not Edge or especially Orton? Orton, it seems, has almost as many fans as Cena. The place ERUPTS when his theme hits. Edge, who has main evented Mania before, is still amazing on the mic. His ring ability may have slowlyy started to go down but he's still great. I wouldn't be surprised if either Main Evented mania. Certainly though Cena will be there.
I would definitely say yes!! Sheamus is just now deserving of the title and should main event by then....I have accepted him now....I think his opponent could potentially be The Miz....their interaction this monday was great and with Cena possibly turning heel Miz could step up as a face and be believeable....Sheamus didnt deserve to main event this past year but next year definitely...

I don't see Sheamus headlining WrestleMania next year. WWE seems to be building towards a Randy Orton-John Cena WrestleMania match as their long-term game plan. Then again, all of this could change if one or the other gets injured before Mania. Plus, with Triple H being gone until likely December now, I have to wonder if The Game won't go after Sheamus after he comes back and reignite that feud. That feud could be red hot as well since everyone knows that it was Sheamus that "took out" Triple H on TV. So, we might get Sheamus and Triple H again at WrestleMania next year with a stipulation.
So, no. I don't see Sheamus main-eventing WrestleMania. But I do see him being in another high-profile match with Triple H and/or possibly Undertaker.

Sheamus seems to have dug his own grave with this one...he befriended HHH early on and it shot him to the top (of course he is very talented too which didn't hurt him) and he's been at the top since he arrived now. But i think events like wrestlemania will cause HHH to want a piece of what Sheamus has and being 'best mates' as HHH sees it, i think Sheamus is going to find it very hard to surpass HHH in the main event scene and so i see WM being Sheamus and HHH this year, and HHH being involved with any of Sheamus success for the remainder of his rise...unfortunately for the rest of us
IF the WWE builds some sort a feud right with Sheamus and a top face, he definately could. Idk who, but my personal hope is something with Orton, except this time, with him as a face. I'd want Sheamus to win, maybe have orton win at Summer Slam, and keep a feud running till Mania, Orton has the mic skills to do it. Then, if HHH returns heel, a triple threat? I do see Miz waiting with his MITB contract until Wrestlemania, hopefully cashing it in on Sheamus and making a face turn. But, like I said, Sheamus could easily Main Event Mania, as long as a feud is built right.

Wasn't Sheamus close to being in one of the world title matches this year? I think he was, anyway I could see Sheamus potentially being in one of the main event matches at next year's WrestleMania but who really knows. However he is a star on the rise and with all the new pushes being given to new guys, I could seem them easily giving Sheamus a chance to compete in the big spotlight. But then again this feeling of mine tells me they may want to put bigger stars in the main events to perhaps increase buy rates and revenue.
It's really quite a difficult question to answer because we don't know what kind of plans WWE has in mind for WrestleMania 27 if any. They may want to use new stars in the main event, they may not. We won't find out any direction they may take with Sheamus and others until basically post Elimination Chamber next year. So until then just keep your eyes peeled and see where Sheamus ends up.

Has a pretty good dick.
If they're smart he would be. He had shocked the world when he had originally won the title from Cena, and even looked dominant afterwards. If there was one rookie that the WWE wanted to tell you was the future of the business, it was Sheamus. I don't blame them for having him drop the title before Mania because it would have felt a little out of place. Not that I think he was booked badly, but because he was still a newer face on the scene and this was the biggest show of the year. They still treated him well by booking him in a surprisingly good match with Triple H. He still stayed near the top and got to compete with one of the biggest names in the company. Not a bad change of scene for Sheamus by any means.
Flash forward a couple of months and Sheamus is once again champ. He isn't overpowering the show but is still a mainstay in one of the biggest current storylines going. He still looks dominant but his character has also evolved. The audience has gotten to know Sheamus and are more accustomed seeing him at the top of the heap. He has shown that he definitely can hang with the big boys and put on entertaining and purposeful matches regularly. Sounds like someone who deserves to be where he is. Very few wrestlers nowadays have what Sheamus has: a great balance of look, character and charisma. He looks and sounds different than what we are used to. Different is good.
The thing that can change my opinion on whether or not he should main event Mania next year is who he would main event it with. Personally, I do no want to see him face off against Triple H. Obviously, whenever Trips returns they will battle again. There are too many guys that should be in that spot at Mania. Not to show too much bias against Hunter, but in my opinion Raw has been much more entertaining overall since his absence. We have seen new faces come up into the main event scene and the mid card players get time they hadn't before. Perhaps that isn't directly contributed to his absence, but it is a coincidence. You have Orton as a face, Cena in a new questionable position and The Miz who's holding a briefcase filled with hopes and dreams. Those are things we haven't seen much of if ever, use the creative. Triple H will survive without a Mania main event. There are many options for Sheamus at Mania. Most of which have never been done. We had years of recycled feuds and main events. They're on the right track right now, no need to digress.
So the chances are good. With the way things have been going lately in terms of unpredictability, you never know. He could get pushed to the mid-card and have to make his way back up. There's always injury or even suspension so you never really know. If I had it my way, he would be main eventing Wresltemania 27. Looks as if that could very well happen.

What's really good?
He's a current WWE Champ and a main event regular since last December so I wouldn't mind seeing him in the main event of Wrestlemania next year. He's been built perfect so the fact that he would be in the main event wouldn't hurt b/c people already believe he is a main event power already. With that being said, I don't think he's gonna to main event WM 27 if he's not challenging the Undertaker for the streak other than that I don't see him in the title picture come WM on either brand so either he'll be Undertaker's next victim or be in a upper card fued similar to the one with Trips come WM 27.

F*ck Friends, Rather die wiv ma AK!
He will main event WM, but not next year, and also why not Taker it can be an inter-brand match...
Sheamus is just the best newcomer WWE have ahd since I don't know..Brock...staright shot up to the sky and Sheamus deserves everything he has gotten...that Fella' is sick!!

He will definitely main event wrestlemania but not next year although I could see him being in one of the main events he will not be in the last match on the card he will probably be in a match similar to Edge/Y2J from this year one of the big matches but not the last match. As for him opponent I think (and hope) it will be Taker vs Cena and I dont see them going HHH/Sheamus 2 years in a row so maybe a match against a face Y2J or even Edge

Sheamus and Undertaker certainly need to feud, before Undertaker retires. It's a feud that has not happened before and would probably work well. It's interesting that you mention that, because I do see him as the next guy to try to end Undertaker's WM streak. I highly doubt that Sheamus will be WWE Champion at Wrestlemania and I highly doubt that he will be the challenger (I don't see him as a 2011 Royal Rumble winner either). I do think that having him face Undertaker at the next Wrestlemania would be a GREAT way to utilize Sheamus, don't you?
Yeah, I mentioned this in another thread, but there are four guys I want to see fight Undertaker at Wrestlemania before he retires: Jericho, Swagger, Sheamus, and the guy to end his streak, John Cena. Swagger probably makes the most sense for next year since they're on the same brand, but Jericho or Sheamus would work as well.
To answer the thread question, do I see Sheamus headling Wrestlemania next year? No. WWE may push guys straight to the main event, maybe even give them a world title early, but the main event at Wrestlemanis is usually reserved for guys that have been there awhile. And when it is a relatively fresh face, it's out of necessity because they've lost a lot of main eventers, like when Batista stepped up after Rock, Austin, Lesnar, and Goldberg had all left.

Look at it logically, as far as the WWE title is concerned, it's going to be a tossup between the following to main event at Wrestlemania:
- John Cena
- Randy Orton
- Triple H
- Wade Barrett(c)
Most likely, I see Randy Orton winning the 2011 Royal Rumble to face champion Wade Barrett at Wrestlemania in an epic encounter, still involving Nexus.
As for Sheamus, he'll be up there...Undertaker will either face Sheamus or Cena at Wrestlemania. I don't know where that leaves Triple H?
No not at WrestleMania 27 but at 28 it will probly happen i honestly think it will be Sheamus vs Triple H II just so he can say he took Triple H out and beat him at WrestleMania and i honestly wouldn't mind seein Sheamus retire Triple H at WrestleMania (probly wont be 27 but maybe 30 or somethin like that) just 2 build his character 2 even greater heights

No offense, but I don't think Sheamus vs Taker should ever face each other at Wrestlemania. The Streak has gained a mythical reputation for over the years, both in the younger generation fans and older generation fans. And as you can see in the last two Wrestlemania, The Streak has become somewhat a bigger deal than both world titles. The last four Wrestlemanias has proved that The Undertaker could create classic matches (yes, even with Batista) if he's given the right main eventer.
Thanks to The Five Nobodies (Gonzales, Bundy, Boss Man, Train, and Henry), however, The Streak lacks big name and credibility it needs. Only another classic and another worthy name would fit and be able to follow two Wrestlemania matches with Shawn Michaels. One could argue that The Undertaker should face HHH or Punk or Sheamus next year, but let's not forget the match with HHH has been done before and neither Punk nor Sheamus got the 'name' to follow Mr. Wrestlemania. And Jericho is due for another Wrestlemania classic. His last Wrestlemania classic was against Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XIX. After that, his Wrestlemania matches are abysmal and even his match with Edge this year was underwhelming. We all know both men are capable of putting great matches, so give this match a proper 20-25 minutes of back and forth wrestling, and trust me, we will witness a match greater than Chris Jericho vs Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XIX or Edge vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania XXIV. And let's not forget, although the outcome is pretty much obvious, this match would draw kids thanks to Undertaker and adults thanks to both men.
This match would own the entire show if it happens. Trust me. Sheamus might feud with people he has not feuded before like Edge or Rey Mysterio.
There is a chance Shameless would main event 'mania. Although he certainly does not deserve it. He has not served his due's and should certainly not have ever had the WWE strap round his waist at this point. I will be at 'mania 27 and be totally gutted if that carrot cock is main eventing.
I don't want to say that he ''deserves'' a main event over some other guys who haven't gotten one yet, but it's clear that you're blinded by your anti-Sheamus bias. The guy is 32, he's spent years in the independent circuit in the UK and 2 years in FCW, not to mention his months on ECW. He's definitely paid dues.
Is he in this spot because he and Triple H are butt buddies? Probably. But the guy has proven to be an effective heel coming from pretty much out of nowhere, and if anything, I think it's a good thing to have an up and comer main event your top show.
Everyone always complains that the WWE doesn't push new stars. The moment it does, it's not the right guy. It's complete BS, and the fans can never be happy with anything.
Like on another forum, i see people bitching that Orton gets a title shot at SS over say Miz or Bourne or Morrison, yet they completely forget who Orton is going to be facing.
I actually like Sheamus and I really hope he gets a WM main event. WWE needs to stick to their guns and push the guys they put the titles on.

I said it when he arrived on ECW. Sheamus is going to be WWE's next big heel. He's got a unique look to help him get there and he's very gifted in the ring. Given the right gimmick and doing it well, Sheamus is now a prime time player on Raw.
As for him Main Eventing WM this year?
I'm going to say it all depends on how well he draws for SummerSlam. It's been stated by many in WWE that after WrestleMania, SummerSlam is the biggest spectacle in the WWE. And if Sheamus can do a great job pulling in tickets for SummerSlam, then I believe that WWE will consider giving him the Main Event spot at Mania. So who knows, maybe he'll be in the M.E. or maybe he'll just have a high stakes match... I say it all depends on how he does at SummerSlam.

I would say that Sheamus has a very good shot at headlining WrestleMania this year. Last year, he was quite unfortunate that he wasn’t allowed to take the belt into the event but I think that he has come on an absolute tonne in the last couple of months and has as good of a chance as any other member of the Raw talent.
With that being said, I still have my reservations about whether Vince and the WWE will have enough faith in him to go into the vent as Champion if he is still a face and I am almost sure that if he does main event Mania this year, that someone like Triple H or John Cena will be taking the title from him as the event comes to a close. It’s all about marketability and Cena, Triple H and Orton have that in abundance. The WWE could end a WrestleMania with any of those three guys holding the WWE Championship belt aloft and the fans would eat that shit up.
I hazard a guess that outside of the IWC, no one would find that a fitting end to the biggest show of the WWE year. Sure, in the IWC, we love the guy. A lot of us would love to see him headline the main event at WrestleMania but when you look at the main events of previous years, you don’t have to look far to find out who the WWE puts the most faith into and I don’t think that Sheamus falls into that category just yet.
Who knows though? In half a years time, he may be the best thing to happen to the WWE and maybe then the WWE will put him in the main event but I am not holding my breath for this one.

Very good in the sense that he is a top heel and 1 of the few new stars they have. The only worry is if the top face feuds have dried up so that it won't be something new, but even then they would still have the Deadman for him to face. Seems like Undertaker will be pre-occupied with Kane and Sheamus will be with HHH until around Rumble time then they can build Mania feuds from there.
I think it also depends on how much longer this title reign is. If he holds the title until October/November then i cant see him having it back in time for Mania because the title reign in between could be too short to be anything more then transitional. But based on Sheamus' ability and the possibility of who he could face, yes he would have a very good chance of being main eventing at Mania.
