5 WWE Superstars and storylines that were inspired by Game of Thrones

#3 Sheamus becomes a White Walker

Every Christmas, you can bet that a WWE Superstar will dress as Santa Claus and attack somebody when they least expect it. Equally, every Halloween, you can bet that there will be some kind of festive-themed ‘Trick or Street Fight’ involving two or more Superstars, unique weapons and a ring surrounded by pumpkins.

In 2018, the honour of competing in the bizarre match type went to Big E and Cesaro, who were feuding over the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at the time with their respective tag teams, The New Day and The Bar.

As the episode of SmackDown Live also had a fancy dress theme, Sheamus (ringside to support Cesaro) went one step further by dying his ginger mohawk white and cosplaying as a White Walker from Game of Thrones.

In the end, the former WWE champion was taken out of the match when he was launched through a table by Big E, who went on to get the 1-2-3 against Cesaro.

Following the match, Sheamus tweeted:
