Top WWE star takes down Manchester United legend during podcast
“I want instant entry into Liverpool’s Hall of Fame for making Gary Neville submit,” jokes wrestler after unusual moment.
Sheamus, a devoted Liverpool FC fan, created an unexpected moment during his appearance on the “It’s Called Soccer” podcast. The three-time WWE Champion met Gary Neville, former Manchester United player, and didn’t miss the chance to demonstrate some pro-wrestling techniques.
During the episode, which featured mutual banter, Sheamus offered a demonstration of his moves. After nearly delivering a “Brogue Kick” to the former United fullback, Sheamus caught Neville in a “Texas Cloverleaf,” demanding that he admit Liverpool would win the Premier League this season.
On social media, Sheamus shared the moment:
I want instant entry into Liverpool’s Hall of Fame for making Gary Neville submit for crimes against The Kop… #hetappedout.
Liverpool currently leads the Premier League, with a six-point advantage over second-placed Arsenal. In their first season under Arne Slot’s management, the Reds are favorites to win the English title.
Sheamus promises to pursue Intercontinental Championship in 2025
On the final WWE RAW of 2024, Sheamus returned to the ring after Survivor Series. During a segment where Ludwig Kaiser was demanding attention from the audience and calling out Bron Breakker, Sheamus surprised everyone by attacking him.
After the show, Sheamus shared his feelings about the return:
After the last four weeks of not sleeping because of my ribs, I can’t wait to pay Kaiser back ten times over.
The Irishman set his goals for 2025, promising to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Sheamus ended with a direct challenge:
Bron Breakker, I’ll be seeing you soon. I have a match with you and I won’t rest until I get what I want.
