3 reasons why Sheamus must win the Intercontinental Title at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames

At WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, Irish professional wrestler Sheamus will have another chance to win the Intercontinental Championship. In the premium live event, which will be held at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, Sheamus will be taking on IC Champion Bron Breakker and Ludwig Kaiser in a Triple Threat match.

While The Celtic Warrior is an experienced candidate in comparison to the men he will fight, heading into the bout, he surely won't be the favorite. However, if there is any man who deserves to win this match at Survivor Series, it has to be him.

In this article, we will take a look at three reasons why Sheamus must win the Intercontinental Championship:

#3. Sheamus can end his championship drought in WWE

Once upon a time, Sheamus was looked at as a main-event superstar who would win world championships or at least mid-card titles in WWE. However, in recent times, the 46-year-old has not won a singles title. As a matter of fact, it's been over 1900 days since he last held gold in the Stamford-based promotion.

The last belt he held in WWE was the United States Championship in 2021. Hence, if Sheamus is booked to win the Intercontinental Championship, he would end a major championship drought, which would considerably improve his booking on Monday Night RAW.

#2. To become a Grand Slam Champion

As mentioned above, Sheamus' career in WWE has certainly been Hall of Fame worthy. Not only has he won multiple championships, but he has also gained the respect of fans and the locker room with his performances in the ring. However, the one thing Sheamus still has to achieve is becoming a Grand Slam Champion.

And the only title he needs to become a Grand Slam Champion is the Intercontinental Championship. Therefore, if The Celtic Warrior can win the Triple Threat match at Survivor Series, he will become a Grand Slam Champion, further cementing his legacy as one of the modern era greats.

#1. Opens the path for Ludwig Kaiser to become champion

It's been observed that in recent times, WWE has been shining the spotlight on Ludwig Kaiser. Speculations also suggest that Kaiser might soon leave Gunther and pursue a singles career. If that's the case, then it's necessary for Sheamus to become Intercontinental Champion.

For those unaware, The Celtic Warrior and Kaiser have bad blood running for years. That's why, if the former becomes Intercontinental Champion, he can have a proper rivalry with the German and eventually lose the title to him. Losing to Kaiser at this stage in his career won't affect Sheamus as much as it will affect Bron Breakker.
