Sheamus returns to RAW, sets sights on major target

Sheamus made his return on the final RAW of 2024, interrupting Ludwig Kaiser during a segment where Kaiser called out Bron Breakker. The Celtic Warrior attempted to deliver a Brogue Kick, but Kaiser managed to escape the ring.

Following the show, Sheamus addressed his return and recent struggles with injuries. His statement revealed the toll of recent weeks:

After the last four weeks without sleep because of my ribs, I can’t wait to pay Kaiser back ten times more.

The former champion declared 2025 as his year, targeting the Intercontinental Championship. He then issued a direct challenge to the current champion:

Bron Breakker, I’ll see you soon. I have a match with you and won’t rest until I get what I want.

WWE secures Sheamus with new five-year deal

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer reports that Sheamus has committed his future to WWE:

Sheamus signed a new five-year contract.

This agreement follows a period of uncertainty after Sheamus suffered a shoulder injury in September 2023, coinciding with his previous contract’s expiration. WWE extended the deal, allowing for his proper recovery before his return to the ring in April.
