Sheamus may be deep in the WWE Championship picture right now, but it is extremely unlikely that he will win the title.

Drew McIntyre looks set to march into WrestleMania as the WWE Champion, overcoming his former best friend along the way. Sheamus did have a strong showing against McIntyre in a gauntlet match on RAW.

The Celtic Warrior has won four world titles, with his first victory coming off as a major shock. Sheamus stunned the world in 2009, defeating John Cena at the peak of his powers in a Tables Match. Since then, he has always been around as a threat. His latest WWE Championship reign occurred in 2015. Sheamus cashed in on Roman Reigns to win the belt, but his reign barely lasted a few weeks.

After several years of being in tag teams, he is back in a prominent position. Sheamus is not actively a main-eventer compared to stars like AJ Styles and Randy Orton. However, the story with Drew McIntyre has enough legs to last until Fastlane.

Sheamus is still in incredible shape and could win a mid-card belt. The Intercontinental Championship is the only one he is yet to win.

He is still a multi-time Champion and has been one of the most successful WWE stars of the past decade. But a world title victory seems a bit too unlikely for Sheamus at this stage.
