Bear in mind that for all of his accolades, Sheamus has been a tag team competitor for most of his previous run as a member of The Bar with Cesaro. The need of the hour is to whitewash the past and get Sheamus going in a big way as a singles competitor again.

Shorty G is someone who is considerably smaller than Sheamus and will obviously get the sympathy from the audience during their matches. He is also fantastic between the ropes and is a great dance partner for a hard-hitting Superstar like Sheamus.

This is a great rivalry that can continue up to the Royal Rumble and even beyond, to presumably resolve in a singles match. Much like Sheamus did with Cesaro, here's a chance for two very gifted Superstars to elevate each other.

Sheamus is obviously not afraid to make short jokes either, it seems.
