Sheamus recently spoke with Zap2It to promote his role in the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles website. Of course, the Celtic Warrior was asked about WWE and specifically, the upcoming brand split.
He strongly believes the original brand split allowed guys like him and Daniel Bryan to break into the main events on SmackDown after getting lost in the shuffle on RAW.
“I think it’s great. I think the brand split is good. When I came into WWE in 2009, I had a huge opportunity and got a huge push. It was fantastic. Myself and Daniel Bryan made it because of Smackdown. We were doing two-minute segments on ‘Raw’ before we moved over to the blue brand. To me, Smackdown is much more the wrestling style show.”
“The great thing about Smackdown was, when things were separated last time, a lot of guys were able to breakout. We’ve got great characters and such a vast pool of talent that hasn’t really gotten the chance to shine yet.”
Aside from the opportunities the brand split will afford WWE’s emerging talent, Superstars will also be less over-exposed and hypothetically there will be the potential for countless ‘dream matches’ down the road. Check out the full interview at Zap2It.
