If anything, the booking of Sheamus is just like Benoit when he won in 2004 after Wrestlemania. Instead of capitalizing on the special moment to start a huge push (heel or face), they do something stupid such as make their main champion seem weak or not even involved in the show. If it is true that he will headline Wrestlemania and looses the title, it won't come off as a special moment and maybe hurt the initial moment of him winning the title similar to Benoit in 2004 post-title.
Similar to Benoit and other champions not pushed, this is more of the booking team's fault than Sheamus not working as champion. Eddie Guerrero once thought he was the reason why his 1st reign on Smackdown was lackluster in ratings but Vince and the booking team made sure his character staid as strong as possible to keep his morale up.
