March is a big month for the WWE as it travels down the road to WrestleMania 32, but Mar. 17 is an even bigger day for a few of its Superstars.
Throughout the main roster and NXT, there is no shortage of Irish pride. With St. Patrick's Day officially here, Irish eyes are certainly smiling throughout the WWE roster.
Here are three of the biggest Irish names in the WWE:
3) Finn Balor
The reigning NXT Heavyweight Champion hails from Bray, Republic of Ireland, and though he has found a home in Florida, he still has a proud heritage. Balor made a name for himself in other promotions, but now he's currently taking the NXT roster by storm, serving as the champion since July 4, 2015.
Balor also won the Dusty Rhodes Classic tag team tournament with Samoa Joe and was the male and overall NXT Performer of the Year for 2015.The heavily-painted Superstar is set to defend his title against Samoa Joe at NXT Takeover: Dallas on April 1, but before he does that, he'll enjoy the holiday:
2) Becky Lynch
The "Lass Kicker" has taken the Divas division by storm and is very much a part of the ongoing Divas Revolution. Though she hasn't been given a chance to really breakout on the main roster yet, Lynch has plenty of accolades. The Dublin, Ireland native could get her first taste of WWE gold when she takes on Divas Champion Charlotte and Becky Lynch in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 32 on April 3.
1) Sheamus
"The Celtic Warrior" is by far the most decorated Irish Superstar to currently compete for the WWE. Sheamus, a native of Dublin, has several career highlights, including four WWE World Heavyweight Championship reigns and two United States Championship reigns on top of winning the King of the Ring (2010), Royal Rumble (2012) and Money in the Bank Ladder Match (2015).
Sheamus is set to team with his League of Nations stablemates to take on The New Day in a 4-on-3 handicap match for the Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania, but not before enjoying a few drinks for St. Patrick's Day:
