Its the one title I havent got my hands on.
Thats why Id love to be the first-ever Ultimate Grand Slam Champion.
The goal is right there in front of me.
Ive had so many IC title matches10 or 11, I think.
Ive had banger matches over it.
We had those close calls, like the Triple Threat atSurvivor Serieswith Ludwig and Bron.
But thats the problem with Triple Threatstheres always that extra element.
Now, withSaturday Nights Main Eventon the horizon, Sheamus is laser-focused.
Ive got to do everything I can to deliver this time.
The match is also personal for Sheamus, who grew up idolizing Intercontinental Champions likeMacho Man Randy Savage.
The IC title was the first title I was exposed to as a fan.
It was Macho Man andGeorge The Animal Steel.
A lot of people have said Ive had the perfect WWE career backwards.
But why not just get stuck in like I always do and do what I do?
