Sheamus Expresses Frustration With WWE's Booking Of The Brawling Brutes
Jessica Wilkins Sheamus has been one of WWE's most reliable performers for over a decade. He has held nearly every title available to him in WWE and has shown no sign of slowing down. At Wrestlemania, Sheamus was part of an incredibly brutal, show-stopping threeway match with his friend Drew McIntyre and longtime rival Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship.

Sheamus Doesn't Believe WWE Is Capitalizing On The Brawling Brutes
During an interview with Metro, Sheamus expressed his disappointment in WWE's handling of his faction. He says that WWE's continuous passing up of the Brawling Brutes is frustrating considering the amount of talent he sees in Butch and Ridge Holland.
I just don’t think they’ve really capitalized on the group, I don’t think they’ve really let us show what we can do. This stop/start stuff is really hard when you’re trying to highlight young talent. It’s frustrating, you know? So I dunno, maybe we’ll get an opportunity to show what we can really do as a group because a lot of those other groups who are out there now have definitely got an opportunity that we haven’t had to do some storyline stuff, some character stuff. That’s kinda been a shame, mate, to be honest, considering the talent that’s in there.
Sheamus went on to praise his teammates. He says that both of them are young, hungry passionate competitors and laments them having to sit on the sidelines.
They’re young, they’re hungry, they’ve wanted to do this their whole lives! Ridge has been a fan of wrestling his whole life, Butch has been doing this from a young age. Sitting on the sidelines, especially when you’re passionate and you know you’re talented and you know you can go, there’s nothing more frustrating.
Butch has qualified for the men's Money in the Bank ladder match. Fans will be able to watch him try to capture the MITB briefcase on July 1.
