Sheamus missed SmackDown this week due to personal reasons. For those not in the know, The Celtic Warrior is getting married this weekend. WWE explained his absence from the show by bringing up his injury angle.

Michael Cole announced during SmackDown tonight that Sheamus couldn’t attend the show because he’s receiving intense physical therapy at home. Cole noted that the doctors had to put an arm brace on him due to the injury he suffered at the hands of The Bloodline last week on SmackDown.

The injury angle took place following Sheamus’ defeat at the hands of Solo Sikoa last week on SmackDown. The Celtic Warrior was dragged to the outside after the match and hit on his arm multiple times with a steel chair, suffering a “non-displaced fracture” near his elbow in the process.

Sheamus is expected to be back by next week. Sheamus and Isabella Revilla will tie the knot this weekend. We’ll have to wait to see what’s next for The Celtic Warrior when he comes back.
