Sheamus made his long-awaited return to the ring on Monday Night RAW, marking his first match since facing former WWE superstar Edge on SmackDown last summer.
His comeback was met with great anticipation, with fans eager to witness the Celtic Warrior back in action, especially after the announcement of his return the previous week.
Sheamus Returns to Controversy
Despite his absence from the ring, Sheamus showcased his impressive abilities and toughness throughout the bout. He ultimately claimed victory by utilizing his signature kneecap move and sealing the match with a crushing Brogue Kick, marking his first win in months.
However, many fans couldn’t help but notice that Sheamus appeared noticeably heavier than when they last saw him, sparking concerns and drawing attention to his physical appearance. Some fans took to social media to body-shame Sheamus, expressing their disappointment and making derogatory remarks.
Sheamus, however, didn’t let the body-shaming comments get to him. Taking to Twitter, he uploaded a video of himself at the gym, poking fun at the criticism and showcasing his determination to silence the naysayers.
In the video, Sheamus humorously addressed the issue, emphasizing his commitment to his new intensive workout regime.
