Sheamus Makes Surprise Return to WWE Raw

Sheamus made a surprise return to WWE Raw on December 30 after a month-long hiatus due to a cracked rib sustained during a match at Survivor Series. His comeback was marked by an intense confrontation with Ludwig Kaiser, whom he attacked with his signature Brogue Kick after Kaiser had called out current Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker. Sheamus expressed his eagerness for revenge against both Kaiser and Breakker, declaring 2025 would be his year. The altercation has set the stage for a potential showdown, with fans anticipating a future match between Sheamus and Kaiser. This return has revitalized interest in Sheamus's pursuit of the Intercontinental Championship, a title he seeks to complete his Grand Slam status. WWE's programming is also transitioning to Netflix, with upcoming matches likely to draw significant viewership.
