Sheamus is set to return to a WWE ring for the first time in a while later this week.

PWInsider's Mike Johnson notes that the former WWE Champion is being advertised for WWE's upcoming tour of the United Kingdom, which kicks off in Brighton this Wednesday, 3 November.

The crew WWE has brought to Europe will stay on the road until next Wednesday, 10 November, when the house show run wraps in Manchester after stopping off in London, Birmingham, and more.

Sheamus hasn't wrestled for WWE since the 27 September episode of Raw, on which he was defeated by Damian Priest in a no disqualification/no countout match for his opponent's United States Championship. The duo were embroiled in a feud for said belt for much of summer, with Priest taking the strap from Sheamus at SummerSlam 2021 on 21 August.

The Irishman underwent a second round of surgery to correct a broken nose soon after the last Priest bout. Though it was reported that this would mean him missing out on the 2021 WWE Draft, he ended up being sent from Raw to SmackDown in WWE's annual roster reshuffle.
