Sheamus recently took his ‘X’ handle to share a post. He wrote, “Ok Ok take your best shots.. Whalemus, Too Many Pies, etc.. and then we’re done with the photoshopping & shaming.” Finally, the WWE superstar revealed that he was aiming to return to WWE during the 2024 Draft. However, he was called up for the promotion earlier than expected.
Lastly, Sheamus wrote, “My bad. On me. Been sleeping in the gym ever since SO watch this space… i appreciate the love too.” Thus, it seems Sheamus looked out of shape because he was called up sooner and didn’t get time to get back in shape.
However, The Celtic Warrior mentioned that he has been spending more time in the gym. Thus, it seems Sheamus might showcase a body transformation sooner than later.
WWE fans body-shame Sheamus after his WWE return
Sheamus made his much-anticipated return to WWE and picked up a win against Ivar. But it seems many fans shifted their focus entirely to The Celtic Warrior’s physique and thus brutally body-shamed him.
While Sheamus received a huge pop from the audience upon his return, several fans took their ‘X’ handles to take a shot at the returning star. One fan wrote, “Sheamus?? Blud looks like WHALEAMUS”. Meanwhile, some of the fans directly called The Celtic Warrior “fat.” A fan wrote, “sheamus is fat”.
Thus, it seems Sheamus received mixed reactions from the fans upon his return. Meanwhile, he didn’t sit quietly but responded to the fans. Taking to his ‘X’ handle, Sheamus wrote, “I’m just big boned”. With that, it remains to be seen if The Celtic Warrior will have anything else to say to the fans.
Sheamus almost retired from WWE before his in-ring return
Sheamus recently made his return to the squared circle and instantly grabbed the headlines. However, it looks like he almost retired from WWE prior to making his return to the largest wrestling promotion in the world.
Not too long ago, Sheamus took his ‘X’ handle to share a post. He shared videos of the treatment he underwent and wrote, “The road back to the ring is slow, rough and unimaginally painful.” The Celtic Warrior further revealed that two months ago he thought he was going to take his retirement from the ring.
However, Sheamus added that several doctors, trainers, and physiotherapists helped him get cleared to do what he loves: fight. Thus, it seems The Celtic Warrior went through a lot of suffering during his absence from WWE. Meanwhile, many of his beloved fans are glad that he is finally back in the promotion, and now it is to be seen who will emerge as Sheamus’ next opponent in the upcoming days.
