WWE Rumor Roundup: Reason Triple H got annoyed with 2-time Champion; Former Royal Rumble winner set to make surprising return; Next IC Champion -  26 February 2020

#3 Sheamus could become the next IC Champion

The former WWE Champion Sheamus recently returned to the company after a sabbatical due to injury. While Sheamus was part of a tag team - The Bar - along with Cesaro before he had to take a break, The Celtic Warrior has returned as a singles competitor.

After moving through Superstars like Shorty G and Apollo Crews, Sheamus stated that he will now target a bigger prey. Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue has speculated that Sheamus may be being built towards a feud with Intercontinental Champion Braun Strowman.

Tom Colohue stated that he sees a possible Sheamus vs Braun Strowman feud in the future; not only that, there is a chance that Sheamus might topple The Monster Among Men and become the next IC Champion.

What I can see going forwards is in his future, Sheamus. When you look at how they are building Sheamus up right now, he is so far above in terms of build where Cesaro is right now, his tag team partner of course, and when you look at him beating two men in handicap matches and things like that, I can see them building and building and get Sheamus up to the required level to be not only a good foil for Braun Strowman but to someone who can potentially overthrow him.
