I'm excited they are trying new things, which is nice. I'll give this a thumbs up for now...but the build better be hot or it will fail.
I have no question about whether he can work a good match. If you knew about Seamus, you would know he is a great worker and has been for years. It is just that he has no personality to sell the match or build interest. He has no past spoken of, no rounded signifiers of his character, he has just come out, fairly generic irish gimmick, few squash matches, few unoriginal angry powerhouse promos and as a result nobody cares about him, and as a result, the match.

And like somebody already said, if he fails, he has been built as unbeatable so he is worthless should he lose. There is only a 3 week build to this PPV. It spells doom for Seamus for at least until after Wrestlemania in my eyes.
