Sheamus made a comeback on Monday Night RAW after a hiatus, just in time for the annual Draft. However, he faced criticism from some fans who made insensitive remarks about his weight and appearance.
Responding to the backlash, Sheamus took a lighthearted approach, joking about the comments and revealing his initial plan to return during the Draft:
“Ok Ok take your best shots. Whalemus, Too Many Pies, etc.. and then we’re done with the photoshopping & shaming. I was aiming for the Draft & got an early call-up. My bad. On me. Been sleeping in the gym ever since SO watch this space 👊🏻 i appreciate the love too”
Former WWE personality Eric Bischoff sees potential for Sheamus in the coming year, especially leading up to WrestleMania 41. Despite Sheamus’s absence from the ring, Bischoff believes the break has revitalized interest in the Celtic Warrior.
Looking ahead, the next 12 months could pave the way for significant opportunities for Sheamus as he navigates his path towards WrestleMania 41 in April 2025:
“He has been off long enough that he is like the ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder factor’ has kicked it, it feels fresh. Yeah, would it have been nice if Sheamus had a story starting six months or a year ago, or perhaps it would have built to WrestleMania? Sure, that would have been nice. But if I’m Sheamus right now, I’m looking at what happens to me over the next 12 months. What am I going to be doing looking forward to the next WrestleMania because he has got a clear runway, and he’s got some support behind him.”‘
