WWE officials are very high on Sheamus right now, with the former WWE champion scheduled to get a monster push this fall leading into 2012. Longterm booking on the SmackDown brand have Sheamus, Randy Orton and Mark Henry as the centerpiece talents of SmackDown.
Vice McMahon has been a strong backer of Sheamus over the years and has renewed faith in the Celtic Warrior since his recent babyface turn. Sheamus’ work doing public appearances (especially with the Be A Star campaign) has helped his perception with management.
Although WrestleMania 28 is stil several months away and plans can change several times before the, WWE is looking for Sheamus to challenge SmackDown’s dominant monster Mark Henry for World Heavyweight championship at WrestleMania.
