Sheamus recently made a comeback to WWE RAW after a hiatus following his loss to Edge, now known as Adam Copeland in AEW, last year on SmackDown. The Celtic Warrior made a statement by confronting Drew McIntyre and expressing his newfound obsession with CM Punk. This led to a match where Sheamus emerged victorious against Shinsuke Nakamura, with McIntyre observing from ringside.
During an interview on RAW Talk, Sheamus revealed his ambition to pursue the Intercontinental Championship, the only title he has yet to claim in his career. He emphasized the significance of this goal, citing his past victory in the King of the Ring tournament in 2010 as a memorable achievement. Sheamus expressed his enthusiasm for the journey ahead, highlighting the support from fans and his overall enjoyment in the WWE environment.

In contrast, former WWE writer Vince Russo took aim at Sheamus and Finn Balor in a recent critique on Wrestling’s Legion of RAW show. Russo asserted that Sheamus’ time in the spotlight was over and questioned the contributions of Finn Balor to the wrestling scene. He criticized the continued presence of both wrestlers on television, dismissing their ability to draw significant audience interest or revenue.
At WrestleMania, Sami Zayn secured the Intercontinental Championship by defeating Gunther but found himself targeted by Bronson Reed on a recent episode of RAW. With Sheamus eyeing the same title, the upcoming weeks may witness a potential challenge from Sheamus to Zayn for the coveted championship. As the WWE terrain evolves, the clash between these seasoned competitors promises an intriguing storyline for fans to follow.
