Former world champion Sheamus made a triumphant return to WWE on Monday Night RAW after an eight-month absence, delivering his first singles victory in three years. The anticipation among fans was palpable as The Celtic Warrior stepped back into the ring in Montreal, receiving a warm reception from the audience. His opponent for the night was none other than the 304-pound star, Ivar of The Viking Raiders, a formidable competitor in his own right with a recent surprise appearance on NXT and two WWE tag team championships under his belt.
In a thrilling match that kept the audience on the edge of their seats, Sheamus showcased his prowess and experience, ultimately securing the win with his signature Brogue Kick, marking his first singles victory since September 2021 on RAW.

Adding to the nostalgia of the evening, Sheamus reintroduced his classic theme song from his earlier WWE days, evoking a sense of nostalgia among long-time fans.
With the WWE Draft looming just ten days away, the question arises of where Sheamus will find himself positioned within the RAW roster. While his return to SmackDown remains a possibility, the recent developments hint at a potential extended stay on RAW, setting the stage for new rivalries and opportunities for The Celtic Warrior in the coming weeks. As the WWE universe eagerly awaits the next chapter in Sheamus’s storied career, his return to the spotlight signals a promising resurgence for one of the industry’s most enduring talents.
