5 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (March 9th)
6. Sheamus Returns Eventually
There is no doubt that a healthy and motivated Sheamus can be an asset to WWE. With Kane and Big Show clearly reaching the twilight of their careers and sadly reduced to deluxe jobbers, the Celtic Warrior could be an excellent enforcer for the Authority. Or he could be badass loner. Or he could lead an Irish invasion with Finn Balor and Becky Lynch. But for the past month or so, vignettes have been hyping Sheamus return, with no date or storyline evident. All the major stars seem to be occupied, which would mean that if Sheamus returns before WrestleMania, its to compete in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. And what a waste that would be. If WWE is going to repeatedly hype Sheamus return, it had better be more impactful than announcing hes entering a Battle Royal. Otherwise, dont be shocked when the sounds of apathy accompany him to the ring.
