The headline act at the Middle East’s largest video games convention, Games 14, will be WWE superstar Sheamus.

The wrestling champion is in town for World Trade Centre expo to help launch WWE 2k15 (officially released on October 31), and will be signing autographs and posing for photos with guests on Friday September 12.
