Will the Authority back up Sheamus?

[MartialHorror]

Everyone was taken aback when Sheamus won Money in the Bank, but I find it odd that Rollins or Triple H/Steph have yet to really acknowledge it. Sheamus has threatened to cash in on RAW and Smackdown, but Rollins never seems worried even though he should know how dangerous that briefcase is more than anyone.

Yet Kane, who is part of the Authority, seems to have struck up an alliance with Sheamus- even though he is arguably a threat to their champion. Granted, Kane usually acts independently, but even Ambrose is always making fun of how he's the Authorities errand boy. Shallow insult, or is this foreshadowing a potential alliance between Sheamus and the Authority? Maybe Sheamus would fit the mold of what the Authority desires?

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, as Sheamus doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that's easy to control. Randy Orton used to be easy to control and the Authority discarded him once that changed. Seth Rollins used to be easy to control, but now is showing signs of independence and the Authority is not pleased with this. I thought it was weird when the Authority decided to pit Rollins against the even more unreliable Lesnar. Maybe their long term plan is to have Sheamus cash in, but once again, Sheamus is a wild card himself. In a strange twist, when Stephanie and Sheamus had a segment together, they seemed to get along fine...even though Sheamus had previously been part of a rebellion and Stephanie was responsible for him being injured...

The sad thing with the WWE right now is it has such a loose, surreal grasp on continuity that I can no longer tell if they are setting up a potential story or if it's all just a big coincidence. This is the same company that remembered Paige betraying Alicia Fox, but apparently forgot that Nikki was friendly with the Authority. If they do go this route, I really don't want Rollins to turn face. Nor do I want Sheamus to be face. I'd rather Sheamus try to cash in on their match and fail against Brock.

I kind of suspect that Sheamus will put the briefcase on the line and lose it to Ambrose, but that would throw all of this foreshadowing (If that's what it is) out of the window. But what do you think? Am I reading too much into this? Is Sheamus going to be the next 'Future'?

my guess is ambrose is going to be a transition champion. I see him as a 2015 version of mick Foley. I don't see him to fued with sheamus. sheamus may join the authority and become a champion. sheamus is perfect choice for roman opponent. nobody boo roman bcoz everybody hates sheamus. my advice is give a surprised title run to roman.

Seth Rollins used to be easy to control, but now is showing signs of independence and the Authority is not pleased with this.

For that reason, I'm hoping these 'independent' traits on the part of Rollins and Kane work to break the Authority to bits and get rid of the concept ......or at least mute their influence to the extent they can't use their rulings to affect everything that happens. They've used their 'proclamations' to control the division for too long a time.

As for Sheamus, if the Authority tries to get their clutches into him, it should be for only a short time.....then he, Rollins and Kane bust loose and destroy the Authority.

Of course, if Sheamus has a hand in defying.....or eliminating.....the Authority, it would probably cast him as a face in the eyes of the audience .....and I don't think he'll be ready to turn good guy for a long time; he has too much to accomplish as a heel.

So yes, the Authority might try to back Sheamus and turn him into one of their own, but the very nature of the 'fella' cries against his being a pawn in their game.

I'm interested in seeing where this all goes with Rollins distancing himself from The Authority and Lesnar returning.

For The Authority to continue it's going to need to recruit someone, why not Sheamus?

The thing I like about Sheamus is....he can handle a MAIN EVENT MATCH. His matches are hard hitting and intense. Very much like Brock Lesnar , he would have an explosive match against him. When I see Seth Rollins in a MAIN EVENT match, I don't see that same intensity and the match never really has that big match feel.

Let's rewind to Money in the Bank. John Cena vs Owens part 2 .... the best match that has happened in the WWE in what seems like a year or two. But it's not even the main event of the night. If Seth Rollins and Ambrose were really paying attention to that match backstage they really should've brought alot more than that to the table for the main event. The main event was " Meh. " at best , and it lacked a lot of the big match feel of the Cena vs Owens match.

Now picture Seth Rollins getting replaced in that slot by Sheamus , now the K Warrior has actual main event -time - to work with. He never really get's the proper time to build a really good match like the others, I think it would be fantastic for him and the matches would be much better.

The Authority will, but probably not in the way you think. People have been clamouring for Sheamus to finally join his buddy Triple H on screen, but I question the continuation of the heel authority figure angle in principle.

The Authority will continue and will become affiliated with Sheamus only in the we're heels wink wink kinda way. I doubt WWE positions Sheamus as Rollins' replacement as it would mean retreading Rollins 2014 angle. Likely, Sheamus is positioned away from the Authority for reason of not being too repetitive.

Sheamus should be finding his own ways of drawing heat and not relying on what Trips and Steph have established. Sheamus is an interesting character in that he's a cowardly heel that also acts like he has a pair, unlike Rollins.

Sheamus + Authority kind of reeks of repeating an old angle even though it's never been done. I'd much rather Sheamus lose the the beard and continue finding ways to draw heat. He's going to be an interesting opponent for Lesnar, but he needs to garner his own heat, not Triple H's.

The thing with Sheamus is that nobody cares.people were invested in rollins in some capacity. Sheamus was gone and nobody even felt it he will garner big show and Kane heat which is we just dont care go the fuck away

 

[HigherthnRVD]

Sheamus is a good heel. I don't understand the go away heat he gets. He makes me hate him. He stands just fine on his own. I'd like to see the whole heel authority idea stop. It's played out. Although Steph cuts a killer promo.

I reckon it could be headed this way. Can't see Rollins as champ after Battleground and can't see him with the Authority either. Can however see the Shield reunite.
