Sheamus had been off from WWE’s television programming for nearly eight months since last summer, dealing with neck issues that had sidelined him to the bench watching other WWE superstars rise to the occasion in his absence.
After the announcement of his return last week, The Celtic Warrior received a warm welcome from the fans in the audience for tonight’s edition of RAW in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
He faced off against the dominant superheavyweight Ivar, in a hard-hitting match that showcased Sheamus’ skills despite his time away. The match culminated in Sheamus delivering a kneecap and a thunderous Brogue Kick to seal the win.
In an exclusive interview with WWE interviewer Jackie Redmond, Sheamus reflected on his first night back in the company under the new era. He mentioned being in rehab being a hard time for him while also pointing to the fact that his last and first match back was both in the rich country of Canada. The Celtic Warrior concluded the interview by issuing a 4-word warning to the entire WWE locker room to cement his return in dominant fashion.
“If you want me to send a message to everyone in the WWE locker room, I only have four words, you don’t want this.”
With a triumphant return on RAW and a power-packed statement delivered, Sheamus’ comeback sets the stage for an intriguing new chapter in his career.
