After a brief hiatus from WWE television, Sheamus made his triumphant return during the December 30th episode of Raw by taking out Ludwig Kaiser. The Celtic Warrior interrupted Kaiser’s in-ring promo, storming the ring and delivering a devastating Brogue Kick to lay him out.
While it’s unclear when the two will officially face off, WWE is heavily promoting the Raw on Netflix premiere episode next week, making it a potential stage for their showdown. Another possibility could be Saturday Night’s Main Event on January 25th.
Sheamus had been sidelined since Survivor Series: WarGames, where he suffered a cracked rib during a Triple Threat Match for the Intercontinental Championship against reigning champion Bron Breakker and Kaiser. Kaiser later claimed credit for the injury, adding fuel to their current rivalry.
Before his injury, Sheamus had an eventful year. After returning from a prior injury on the April 15, 2024, episode of Raw with a victory over Ivar, Sheamus quickly made his presence felt. During the summer, he feuded with Pete Dunne and set his sights on the Intercontinental Championship, the one title that has eluded him throughout his storied career.
Sheamus now looks poised to settle the score with Kaiser, signaling a strong start to 2025 for The Celtic Warrior.
