There is another thread of this going and I'll put here what I put there. To start it off, CoC did not fully become Sheo and it is likely that eventually Jygg will revert back into Sheo and CoC will become a Vestige like Haskill.

[http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/2015/06/12/loremasters-archive-an-interview-with-haskill Chamberlain Haskill says, “I have had similar questions about my 'nature' from Alessandra, Legoless, and an Unnamed One, so I suppose I must address the matter. I am a Vestige, all that remains of a mortal from your world who 'mantled' Sheogorath during an event in a previous time. As a fragment, my memory of the event is … fragmentary. I am hazy on the entire concept of 'mantling,' but it had something to do with Lord Sheogorath, myself, and this Jyggalag of whom you speak. I have asked the Mad God to explain it to me, but he just laughs and says maybe he'll tell me about it 'next year,' whatever that means. “Sometimes the Master irritates even me. I can't remember why I put up with it, actually."]

This is evidence supporting Lady N's write up from a few years back that can be found here: http://www.imperial-library.info/content/arden-sul-1

ArhenMaoDante: Order of events don't matter when discussing this sort of thing. We're talking about the nature of Sheo/Jygg. This nature stays true through at least this kalpa. While he isn't the arbiter of all things, Kirkbride is very adamant about the fact that CoC did not mantle Sheo, at least not in the sense that Talos mantled Lorkhan.

As a side note, the term mantling keeps being thrown around as the Fourth Walking Way, but this may not be the case. The Love Letter doesn't mention mantling, and instead calls the Fourth the Enantiomorph. Myself and others as well have been questioning the status quo for what mantling truly is.
