3. Alberto Del Rio
In 2012, Sheamus and Del Rio engaged in a rivalry that stretched from May until September. They fought one another in four World Heavyweight Championship matches in different PPVs. While Sheamus missed a lot of 2013, Del Rio reigned as World champion for the majority of the year. After losing the title to John Cena last October, he has been engaged in a mess of a feud with the animal Batista.
The history is there and throwing together a story for Sheamus and Del Rio would be relatively simple. They also have solid chemistry with one another. Their matches were typically very good. With both growing as in-ring performers, the likelihood that those matches would be improved is high.
