Wow an Irish WWE champion, I'm amazed but not surprised, it's about time a new guy broke through and I also know that power player Triple H has a fondness for Seamus, so a push was inevitable. The big thing now will be too see how long he holds the belt for. As we know from CM Punk and Edge's reigns recently, the strap can be removed from your waist very easilly these days.

Drew McIntyre's win is also a surprise, but he may actually grow into his role as mid-card champion and hard worker, where as Seamus will have to be on his game all of the time or lose out on his spot.
