Sheamus isn't expected to appear as part of the upcoming WWE Draft 2021, reports PWInsider's Mike Johnson.

This is because the 43-year-old has just undergone a second round of surgery for a broken nose, as Sheamus confirmed himself on Twitter shortly after this week's episode of Raw:-

While there's no word on how long, exactly, the Irishman will be sidelined for, the upcoming Draft will come too early for him. The annual roster reshuffle kicks off on this week's episode of SmackDown (1 October) and concludes on the 4 October episode of Raw.

Recent months have seen Sheamus wrestle wearing a protective mask after originally breaking his nose in a match with Humberto Carrillo back in June. The big man underwent surgery at the time and returned to the ring a few weeks later, suffering another nose break while competing against Jeff Hardy. Despite this, the former World and United States Champion stayed on television every week, engaging in hard-hitting battles with Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest, and more.

Sheamus' most recent bout was a No DQ match that saw him and Priest beat the hell out of each other on this week's episode of Raw. Make no mistake, the man is hard as nails.
