WWE News: Reason Why Shaemus And Cesaro Absent From Smackdown

Sheamus and Cesaro are absent from WWE programming currently. We have not seen them on TV in recent times. It’s hard to believe that the most dominant tag team on WWE Raw of the year 2017 is absolutely doing nothing following the Superstar Shakeup. They are out of the picture all of sudden.

WWE creative sent Sheamus and Cesaro to Smackdown following Wrestlemania. It was a good move considering that there was not much left to do on Raw for them. They have been the Raw tag team champions for four different occasions in a span of just one year. Most of the teams have been their victim.

Chances of creating fresh rivalries were less if they’d have stayed on the flagship show. Hence sending Sheamus and Cesaro on Smackdown sounded pretty good. They started on a good note by taking on old rivals, The New Day. A future feud against The Usos or SAnitY would have been even greater.

But all of a sudden they are not appearing on Smackdown TV, anymore. This raised question amongst the fans about the status. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter came up with an update on the former champions’ situation. Lack of creative planning is the main reason behind this absence.

A fan asked about the status of Sheamus and Cesaro to the veteran wrestling journalist belonging to Wrestling Observer Newsletter. He assured him that they are not out of the scene, completely. The team also known as The Bar is currently working only on live events from the Smackdown Live brand.

But the officials do not have any such proper storyline angle for them. So there’s no point to bring Sheamus and Cesaro on TV and wasting their status. It’s not a good idea for the former champions. Being absent from WWE TV does not anyone to get back his lost spot unless the creative sketches something strong for the returnees.

We should not expect the same in case of Sheamus and Cesaro. The Celtic Warrior has been wrestling with a neck concussion for a long time. This off from TV might give him to heal up his wounds real quick. If that’s the case then they should be right back into the tag team championship picture following return.
