Sheamus Says WWE Clash At The Castle 2022 Match With Gunther Wasn't Going To Happen Until He Pitched It

Sheamus looks back at WWE Clash at the Castle 2022 bout.

At WWE Clash at the Castle 2022, Sheamus challenged Gunther for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Gunther was three months into what would become a 666 day reign, and Sheamus was going after the one WWE championship that has eluded him.

"The Gunther match to me is very special. That match wasn't even supposed to happen. (WWE) was going to Wales, and at the time I wasn't doing anything. I talked to Hunter about it, we spitballed back and forth, and then he went and made the match. I pitched that match in Wales. Fair play to him, he made it happen," Sheamus said on The Pat McAfee Show.

Sheamus failed to capture the Intercontinental Championship on the night, and it remains a title that he has been unable to get his hands on.

Sheamus picked up a victory over Pete Dunne on Monday's WWE Raw. Fans can find Fightful's coverage of the event by clicking here.
