After wrestling on the European independent circuit for a few years, Sheamus signed with WWE in 2007. He is a multi-time world champion and tag team champion, among other things.
While speaking on Keepin’ It 100, Konnan recalled the time he had a real-life confrontation with Sheamus at a bar during a party in Nashville.
“We were in Nashville and WWE happened to be in Nashville that day and Jeff had this big party at some private bar which is very sweet and he invited like all his WWE friends. And I remember Braun Strowman and OC and Rey Mysterio, and Sheamus was there. Sheamus was talking to Rey and Rey goes, ‘do you know my boy Konnan?’ And he turns around, ‘Oh yeah, he’s always burying me.’ He goes, ‘what do you have against me?’ And I go, ‘well, I don’t even know you, but I was talking about you. It’s nothing personal or cheats your work rate, I don’t like you matches. Don’t take it personal. It’s just my opinion, why do you care what I think.He was just like turned around and ignored me and then later on in the night he did come up to me, goes, ‘hey man, I’m sorry, you know, if I got out of line, it’s all good.”
