Sheamus returned to WWE last week on RAW after a hiatus following a match with Adam ‘Edge’ Copeland in August 2023. The Irish wrestler, recovering from injuries, had contemplated retirement before his return to the ring. On RAW, Sheamus confronted his friend Drew McIntyre, advising him to let go of past grudges, referencing McIntyre’s loss to CM Punk at WrestleMania XL due to fixation.
During their on-screen exchange, McIntyre teased Sheamus about his weight gain, a reference to online criticism of the wrestler’s appearance. Reports suggest Sheamus approved of this jab, showing a willingness to incorporate such elements into their storyline. The banter between the two may lead to a potential feud, building on their previous intense encounters, including at WrestleMania and over the Intercontinental Championship.

Looking ahead, Sheamus aims to secure a second victory in WWE’s King of the Ring tournament. With Gunther and Xavier Woods also entering the competition, set to be held in Saudi Arabia next month, the lineup promises exciting clashes. In a post-show interview with Cathy Kelley, Sheamus expressed his ambition to pursue the Intercontinental Championship, a title he sees as the final piece missing from his collection.
Reflecting on his past achievements, including winning the King of the Ring in 2010, Sheamus remains focused on future triumphs. Despite criticism about his physical appearance, he maintains a positive attitude, even teasing about winning the upcoming tournament. As fans anticipate his next moves in WWE, the Irish star’s resilience and determination set the stage for an intriguing storyline in 2024.
