WWE recently made a huge announcement on the Road to WrestleMania 41, introducing WWE Legacy Title Belts in partnership with 13 top European football clubs. But the absence of Liverpool FC, one of the biggest and most successful clubs in the world, has left fans stunned — and Sheamus has now added his voice to the discussion.
WWE Announces Legacy Belts with 13 Top European Clubs
WWE’s new collaboration involves creating custom WWE Championship belts for 13 elite football clubs, including:
- Paris Saint-Germain
- Juventus
- Inter Milan
- AC Milan
- Celtic FC
- Rangers FC
- Borussia Dortmund
- Chelsea FC
- Tottenham Hotspur
- Aston Villa
- West Ham United
- Manchester United
- Manchester City
These specially designed belts celebrate WWE’s growing international presence and the connection between football (soccer) and sports entertainment.
Liverpool FC Fans Outraged Over Exclusion
What shocked fans the most is that Liverpool FC — a club with a rich history and global fan base — was not included in the lineup. With Liverpool currently leading the Premier League table, many supporters expected them to be part of this major WWE project.
The exclusion sparked widespread backlash on social media, with fans questioning WWE’s decision to leave out the Merseyside giants.
Sheamus’ Bold Response as a Die-Hard Liverpool Fan
WWE Superstar Sheamus, famously known as a lifelong Liverpool supporter, quickly addressed the snub.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Sheamus reassured Liverpool fans that the real title — the Premier League trophy — will soon arrive at Anfield, making the lack of a WWE belt insignificant:
“For all the @LFC fans freaking out that there’s no custom Liverpool title belt available. Don’t be stressing. The real title will be arriving at Anfield in the next four weeks #YNWA”
Sheamus’ message not only showed his confidence in Liverpool’s Premier League run but also brought a fun twist to the ongoing debate.
As of now, Liverpool are 15 points ahead of Arsenal, albeit having played one more game, and look set to win the English Premier League title for the first time since 2020.
Drew McIntyre Takes a Dig at Tottenham Hotspur
While Sheamus stood up for Liverpool, Drew McIntyre used the occasion to poke fun at Tottenham Hotspur, another club included in WWE’s partnership.
Tottenham, despite being one of the biggest football clubs in England, has not won a major trophy since 2008. McIntyre took to Twitter/X, mocking Spurs’ well-known trophy drought in a light-hearted manner.
Although Tottenham are still competing in the UEFA Europa League this season, McIntyre’s dig reflects the ongoing joke about their lack of silverware.
Fans are now curious to see if Tottenham can respond to McIntyre’s jab by actually winning a trophy this year, or if the drought will continue.
WWE’s Legacy Title Belt collaboration with European football clubs has created a massive buzz — but also controversy over Liverpool FC’s absence. Sheamus, staying loyal to his club, reminded everyone that winning the real Premier League title would be more valuable than a custom belt.
Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre’s playful mockery of Tottenham Hotspur added even more entertainment to the announcement. As football and WWE fans continue to react, one thing is certain — this crossover has everyone talking.
Whether WWE will eventually add more clubs like Liverpool remains to be seen, but for now, fans await Liverpool’s potential league triumph and Tottenham’s response, both on and off the pitch.
