After an eight-month hiatus, Sheamus made a surprising return to WWE RAW, but it wasn’t just his comeback that caught attention—it was his physical transformation that got people talking. Fans and industry veterans alike noted the significant change in his appearance.
In a recent episode of The Brand, former WWE writer Vince Russo shared his thoughts on Sheamus’s return and his future prospects with the company.
Russo questioned whether Sheamus could sustain the same level of performance after over a decade in the industry. He also hinted at the influence of Sheamus’s friendship with Triple H in his return.
“Bro, I don’t understand. What gas is left in Sheamus’ tank? He’s done, bro. A wrestler runs their course after they’ve been there for so long. There’s nothing more you can do with them. Sheamus means nothing and will never mean anything again. But who discovered Sheamus in a gym twenty years ago? Triple H. So, here’s the return of Sheamus for the 92nd time,” he said.
After leading The Brawling Brutes for nearly two years, Sheamus took a hiatus following a loss to Edge on Friday Night SmackDown, reportedly due to a shoulder injury. However, he made a surprising return to RAW, defeating Ivar in a one-on-one match.
Despite his triumphant return, Sheamus faced criticism online for his changed appearance, prompting him to respond on social media. He addressed the memes and jokes circulating about him, revealing his intention to return during the WWE Draft but making an early comeback instead.
With speculation swirling around his return and physical condition, all eyes are on Sheamus as he embarks on this latest chapter of his WWE career.
