Alright, folks, dust off your clovers and get ready to welcome back one of WWE’s favorite sons. After nearly eight months on the sidelines, Sheamus is finally making his much-anticipated return to WWE Raw this coming April 15th. And let me tell you, it’s about time!
Last seen in the squared circle in August 2023, Sheamus has been nursing what folks called a “severe shoulder injury” he picked up during a brawl with Edge—who’s now doing his thing over at AEW as Adam Copeland. Since then, it’s been all quiet on the Irish front, and the WWE universe has felt just a tad less fiery without him.
But that’s all about to change. On Friday night during WWE SmackDown, they rolled out the red carpet—or should I say, the green carpet?—with an ad that had fans buzzing more than a bee at a picnic. The promo promised several big draws for the upcoming Raw, but let’s be honest, it’s Sheamus’ comeback that’s got everyone talking.
Now, while we’ve got the official nod on his TV return, whether he’ll be stepping back into the ring to throw down right away remains a bit of a mystery. But knowing Sheamus, he’s probably itching to get back to brawling as much as a fisherman’s itching to get back to the sea after a storm.
The man’s been a WWE staple since he burst onto the scene in 2009, snagging titles left and right—from the King of the Ring to the Royal Rumble, not to mention his stints as a world champ. And let’s not forget his recent crusade for the Intercontinental Championship. With Sami Zayn set to defend that very title against Chad Gable on Sheamus’ big return night, the timing is as curious as a cat in a yarn shop. Could the Celtic Warrior be eyeing another shot at the gold? Only time will tell.
So, mark your calendars for April 15th, because WWE Raw is about to get a whole lot more interesting with Sheamus back in the mix. It’s like they say, you can’t keep a good man down—especially when he’s Irish.
