Sheamus believes that his mohawk hairstyle caused Vince McMahon to be “pissed big time”

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Sheamus commented on the mohawk hairstyle that he sported when he returned to WWE television from a hiatus in 2015…

“The great thing about that was I pissed the brass off on that one, because I didn’t ask for permission, I just did it. I think I’ve been off with an injury, and I just kind of felt stagnant, and I’d done that babyface. I was just like, I need something different and cool, right?

So I did it, and I think Vince [McMahon] was pissed big time because I didn’t tell him I was doing it. But I did all this stuff, my beard and all the braids and everything, and I thought man, I look cool, dude. I look badass. I look like a bleeding ass kicker again. I’m gonna go out there. I think I attacked Wade and Bryan. I was going out, I looked badass and I thought people are gonna go, this guy looks cool. I walked out, and then some bollocks in the audience started a ‘You look stupid chant’, and that was it. It just carried across all the arena. I was like this is not what I was expecting. It was not the reaction that I was going for. It was great, you know, I leaned into it, and it was class. It was fun.” (quote courtesy of ChrisVanVliet.com)
