Enter ca — The Bar became a huge success in 2017!

Cesaro and Sheamus are two WWE Superstars who have proven over time that they are more than capable of handling their own inside of any wrestling ring. Both have had fairly successful runs as singles competitors, but 2017 offered a unique opportunity for the two stars.

Sometimes it's easy to see that WWE's creative team is struggling to find a place for a certain Superstar and that became apparent with Cesaro and Sheamus were first paired together in late-2016. At first, the unlikely duo sincerely appeared to be headed for a short-term run together, which would likely end in a predictable rivalry against one another. However, these guys had different plans in store for themselves, as well as the WWE Universe.

Sheamus and Cesaro shocked the entire world as they not only figured out how to work well and get along with one another but by how they completely took over RAW's tag team division. In a world where thrown-together tag teams never last, Sheamus and Cesaro are showing absolutely no signs of slowing down as we head into 2018!
