WWE veteran Sheamus appeared on Robbie Fox’s My Mom’s Basement podcast, where he discussed several topics, including the RAW Tag Team Championship Match at WWE Roadblock 206 and how the unique finish was all AEW star Claudio Castagnoli’s (F.K.A. Cesaro) idea.

Sheamus said, “That was Cesaro, that was 100% Claudio Castagnoli. That’s his mind. Still one of the greatest. I was like, ‘Man, you want my fat ass to jump onto Kofi?’ [laughs] But it was unbelievable. That was just Claudio, man. He was unbelievable to work with. He’s one of the reasons why, at that stage of my career, he just totally reinvigorated me, brought my passion back to where it should be. But yeah, that was unbelievable, man. The fake tag was an incredible finish, unbelievable. So creative. That’s Tony, though. That’s ‘Big D**k Tony.’ That’s what everyone calls him, by the way, in the locker room. ‘Big D**k Tony’ [laughs].”
