5 times Vince McMahon savagely criticized WWE Superstars

#3 Vince McMahon hints that Sheamus has gained weight

Sheamus

Back in 2019, when Sheamus was yet to make his return to WWE SmackDown, he appeared on E&C's Pod of Awesomeness. The Celtic Warrior talked about losing some weight and opened up on what made him do it. Sheamus said that Vince McMahon once looked at his gut and made an offhand remark about how he had gained a lot of weight.

It also started because I came back from holidays in Ireland and me and Cesaro were walking by Vince and Vince goes, “Hey Sheamus!” I said, “Yeah?” He goes, “Enjoyed the holidays, huh?” and he was looking at me in the gut and I was like, “Okay, that’s it. That’s it. I need to do something about it.” But that was the change in gear and Cesaro will tell you as well. Cesaro knew right away when that comment was made. I just put too much weight on, man.

Vince McMahon's words led to Sheamus shedding some weight, and getting ripped in the process. He made his return to WWE TV in the first week of January, and saved Shorty G from The Revival. He immediately hit Shorty G with a Brogue Kick, making his true intentions known. Sheamus later feuded with WWE veteran Jeff Hardy, and is currently a mainstay on WWE SmackDown.
