Ever wondered where WWE Superstar Sheamus got his nickname ‘The Celtic Warrior’ from? The former WWE Champion has played major roles in a couple of Hollywood movies over the years, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and The Buddy Games.

In 2009, Sheamus played a minor role in an Irish horror film titled Assault of Darkness. The former WWE Champion played a zombie named Celtic Warrior that appears at the beginning of the film being hunted by Mr. Hunter. He is first shot in the chest with a compound bow, then set on fire with a second shot.

MVP has been one of the biggest names on WWE RAW in recent months. He is working with Bobby Lashley on the brand to help him remain The All Mighty WWE Champion.

In 2010, an SNL sketch named MacGruber was turned into a feature film. MacGruber was essentially a direct parody of a hit 80s TV show MacGyver.

In one major scene in the film, MacGruber recruits several WWE Superstars, including MVP, to his faction. Chris Jericho has a few lines in the film, while MVP, The Great Khali, Big Show, and Kane only appear on-screen for a few minutes.
