In comparing himself to Cena, Sheamus noted that he and the 17-time world champion are only one year apart in age. Still, Sheamus jokes that it feels like his own career is just getting started.

"Last week I was in there with JD [McDonagh] and just ripping it up," Sheamus said. "When I first came here, there was a couple of people that were kind of phoning in on their merits, just kind of doing whatever they can, and they knew they were here a long time. I looked at it, I said, 'The day I don't go out there and give 110% or give everything I possibly have in every single match, I don't care if it's a Raw, SmackDown, I don't care if it's an NXT, it's Main Event that they tape before the show, I won't go out there not give everything I have in every single match I have.'"

"... Every time I get out there, even tonight running out and beating Dom [Mysterio], I'm knocking the bollocks out of him, I still get that crazy adrenaline rush because every bleedin' day is a gift. Every time I get out, I'm still going, I've still got it, I still train very hard. That's how great I feel about this business."

Sheamus' faceoff with Nakamura will take place on the upcoming episode of "Raw," which emanates from Cena's hometown of Boston, Massachusetts.
