Throughout his professional wrestling career, Sheamus had some excellent matches, and some of his performances when listed as five star matches. One of the most recent matches that received vast recognition from the fabs and critics was his intercontinental championship match against Gunther at Clash at the Castle 2022.
But remembered to this date back then it received massive praise from the fans and the critics. In 2016, The Celtic Warrior teamed up with Cesaro after a massive rivalry, and at the Roadblock event of the mentioned year, the duo went on to challenge The New Day for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
Sheamus Addresses One of The Best Matches of His Career and Reveals Who Was The Mastermind To Orchestrate The Match
This match had been listed as one of the best matches of 2016 and all the competitors involved in the match did their best. During that time Vince McMahon was in charge and it was not very common in WWE to get back to back great matches. So this match was definitely a breath of fresh air. Sheamus recently remembered this match while appearing on the “My Mom’s Basement” podcast recently. He said;
Sheamus and Cesaro defeated The New Day at Roadblock 2016 to win the WWE Tag Team titles
“That was Cesaro, that was 100% Claudio Castagnoli. That’s his mind. Still one of the greatest. I was like, ‘Man, you want my fat ass to jump onto Kofi?’ [laughs] But it was unbelievable. That was just Claudio, man. He was unbelievable to work with.
"He’s one of the reasons why, at that stage of my career, he just totally reinvigorated me, brought my passion back to where it should be. But yeah, that was unbelievable, man. The fake tag was an incredible finish, unbelievable. So creative. That’s Tony, though. That’s ‘Big Dick Tony.’ That’s what everyone calls him, by the way, in the locker room. ‘Big Dick Tony’ [laughs].”
Sheamus and Cesaro won the WWE Tag Team titles five times in total
The Bar was one of the most successful and famous tag teams of their time, together, they have won a total of five Tag Team championships. The tag team ended in 2019. They had amazing matches as well as some awful matches like Braun Strowman burying them at WrestleMania 34. But thankfully, they recovered from this burial.
As long as they were active as a team, they did a fantastic job together, because ‘they did not set the bar, they were The Bar.’
