"Sheamus hasn’t wrestled in WWE since an episode of Raw last November at Madison Square Garden, where he teamed up with John Cena and Rey Mysterio to beat The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh. That happened to be the last Raw match of Cena’s legendary career. A few days later, WWE announced that Sheamus was not medically cleared due to a shoulder injury; he was immediately pulled from the tournament to determine Cena’s final opponent. Fast forward to June 2026, and Sheamus remains on the sidelines. That might be changing soon, however, based on these pictures he posted today on social media about a “fun day” he had getting his body all marked up inside a WWE ring. a fun day pic.twitter.com/Oa5cgedN85 — Sheamus (@WWESheamus) June 4, 2026 Based on how good Sheamus looks in these pictures, it doesn’t seem like those “Burger after burger after burger” jokes will follow him back to WWE this time.
