Sheamus made a dramatic return to WWE Raw on May 5, 202, ending a months-long absence since the Royal Rumble and instantly shaking up the red brand. The Celtic Warrior was revealed as the surprise opponent for Austin Theory after Grayson Waller, Theory’s tag partner, maneuvered his way out of the match backstage-leaving Theory blindsided and frustrated
Despite Theory’s initial aggression, Sheamus dominated much of the bout, showcasing his signature power moves. Theory managed some offense and even came close to a pin, but Sheamus quickly regained control. The turning point came when Sheamus delivered a brutal White Noise, followed by his trademark 14 Beats of the Bodhran. As Theory questioned Waller’s loyalty, Sheamus connected with a decisive Brogue Kick, sealing the victory in his first televised match since February
This return not only reignites Sheamus’ presence in the main event scene but also hints at growing tension between Theory and Waller, potentially signaling the end of their partnership. With Raw’s roster evolving and new rivalries brewing, all eyes are now on what’s next for Sheamus-and whether Austin Theory will finally break free from Waller’s shadow.
