Sheamus Career
)
Sheamus was inspired to become a professional wrestler by watching British wrestling on World of Sport and American wrestling via the WWF.
Following advice given to him by Bret Hart, he began training at Larry Sharpe's Monster Factory wrestling school in April 2002, alongside Tank Toland and Cliff Compton.
Six weeks later, he officially debuted as a fan favorite against Robert Pigeon under the name Sheamus O'Shaunessy.
After hitting an opponent in the groin, he gained the nickname of the "Irish Curse".
He soon suffered a serious neck injury after botching a hip toss, sidetracking his career for two years.
Farrelly developed his wrestling character by drawing on Celtic mythology, moving away from Irish stereotypes of lucky charms, leprechauns, and alcoholism while aiming to portray a fiann, a type of mythical Irish warrior.
Having attended an Irish-speaking school, he was aware of the four cycles of Irish mythology and, inspired by the artwork of Jim Fitzpatrick, incorporated sword- and axe-wielding imagery into his gimmick.
This included the design of his own pendant, the crossos, which combines the Celtic cross with a Celtic War sword.
Sheamus returned to wrestling at the newly opened Irish Whip Wrestling (IWW) school in Dublin.
He then made his debut match for the promotion at their Mount Temple show on 9 July, facing Mark Burns in a winning effort.
He went on to win a battle royal the following month.
As well as wrestling in Ireland, O'Shaunessy occasionally traveled to Great Britain to make appearances on the British independent circuit.
Sheamus WWE Career
)
In November 2006, Sheamus, bearing the name ‘O'Shaunessy’ and English wrestler Stu Sanders appeared on the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) show Raw at the Manchester Evening News Arena, as part of the security team ejecting D-Generation X (DX) from ringside, only for O'Shaunessy to later receive a Pedigree from Triple H.
The following day, he and Drew Galloway had a tryout match against each other.
In April 2007, Sheamus received another set of tryout matches in Milan and London against Galloway, as well as Sanders, WWE talent Jimmy Wang Yang, and Monster Factory alumnus Domino.
This led to an offer and signing of a developmental contract with WWE, at which point he relocated to the United States.
Sheamus debuted for the WWE developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) on 2 October in a double-debut match with a win over Bryan Kelly.
While wrestling regularly, he was not part of any long feuds but did wrestle with a number of short-term tag teams.
Throughout 2009, Sheamus received a series of chances throughout the rest of the year, but could not win any more titles before being called up to WWE television, unsuccessfully challenging Justin Angel for the Florida Heavyweight Championship in November.
On 22 July 2008, Sheamus worked a dark match at a SmackDown taping, losing to R-Truth.
The following year in May, Sheamus began appearing at the Raw brand's house shows, and on both 8 and 9 May he defeated Jamie Noble along with another dark match victory over Noble before an episode of Raw.
In a June 2009 episode of ECW, Farrelly made his unannounced debut as a villain under the shortened ring name of “Sheamus”, quickly defeating local competitor Oliver John.
Sheamus soon entered into a critically well-received rivalry with Goldust after defeating him on 29 July.
After exchanging victories in the following weeks they competed in a no disqualification match on 1 September which was won by Sheamus.
In October that year, Sheamus appeared on his first WWE pay-per-view event, Survivor Series.
In November, when he was part of The Miz's team in a traditional five-on-five elimination tag team match, Sheamus eliminated fellow Irishman Finlay and made the final pinfall to eliminate the opposing captain John Morrison and survive along with The Miz and longtime former rival Drew McIntyre.
The following night on Raw, Sheamus won a "break-through" battle royal for wrestlers who had never won a world championship, to become the number one contender to John Cena's WWE Championship.
At the contract signing immediately afterward, Sheamus put Cena through the table, and the Raw guest host, Jesse Ventura, announced it would be a Tables match.
On 13 December at TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view, Sheamus defeated Cena to win the WWE Championship, his first championship in WWE, making him the first Irish-born WWE Champion.
Sheamus also captured the major title in just 166 days since his WWE debut, making it the third shortest time to capture a title since his WWE/ECW debut.
The following night on Raw, Sheamus was awarded the 2009 Breakout Superstar of the Year Slammy Award.
He would make his first title defense on the final Raw of 2009, getting disqualified in a rematch against Cena.
On 31 January 2010 at the Royal Rumble, Sheamus defeated Randy Orton by disqualification to retain the WWE Championship, following interference from Orton's teammate Cody Rhodes.
On 21 February, Sheamus lost the WWE Championship at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in the Elimination Chamber match after he was eliminated by Triple H.
During the match, Sheamus suffered a concussion and as a result did not attend Raw the following night.
Upon his return, he attacked Triple H in revenge, setting up a match at WrestleMania XXVI on 28 March where Sheamus lost.
At Extreme Rules on 25 April, Sheamus attacked Triple H at the beginning of the show and later defeated him in a Street Fight. After a series of kicks to the head to win, he continued his assault after the match finished resulting in Triple H being written off television for ten months.
Known for his distinct look, characterized by his pale skin, fiery red hair, and impressive physique, Sheamus has been known for his intense rivalries and memorable matches. He has feuded with some of the biggest names in WWE, including Randy Orton, Triple H, and Daniel Bryan.
One of his most notable rivalries was with Daniel Bryan, culminating in an 18-second victory at WrestleMania 28, which remains one of the fastest title match wins in WrestleMania history.
Sheamus's aggressive in-ring style and charismatic persona has also made him a fan favorite and a consistent presence in WWE's main event scene.
In addition to his WWE Championship reigns, Sheamus has also achieved success in other divisions.
He is a three-time United States Champion and has won the WWE Tag Team Championship on several occasions, most notably as part of the team "The Bar" with Antonio Cesaro.
His tag team was highly acclaimed for their chemistry and in-ring performances, becoming one of the most dominant teams in WWE during their tenure.
As part of the 2021 Draft, Sheamus was drafted to the SmackDown brand.
In November, Sheamus formed an alliance with Ridge Holland, after Holland would refer to him as his idol and help Sheamus win his matches.
Sheamus's career has also been marked by his involvement in significant WWE storylines and events.
Beyond his in-ring achievements, Sheamus has ventured into other areas of entertainment.
He has made appearances in films and television shows, further establishing himself as a versatile performer.
During his hiatus in 2023, the Brawling Brutes disbanded after Holland walked out on Butch during a tag team match.
Sheamus returned from injury on the April 15, 2024 episode of Raw, defeating Ivar.
At the Night 1 of the WWE Draft on the April 26, 2024 episode of SmackDown, Sheamus was drafted to the Raw brand.
