It has been months since the pro wrestling fandom last saw Sheamus in action, but the Irishman’s savage social media response has gotten the fans all heated up all while he teases to make a comeback sooner than ever.
The four time world champion has been out of action since suffering a shoulder injury in his last outing in the ring- a defeat against Edge on August 18th SmackDown. He was expected to make a surprise comeback at Royal Rumble last month, the event which is well known for marking the returns of an injured fighter or legends.
Sheamus, in an anticlimactic turn of events, did not appear at Royal Rumble. However, his recent social media activities are getting the fans hyped up to see him back on TV, after a hiatus that has been prevailing for six months.

“Nope il take characters and stories over 5star matches any day of the week” commented the user.
Seeing the comment, Sheamus asked him to switch to soap opera from watching pro wrestling.
