Sheamus is out of action from WWE Smackdown with an injury
Sheamus has not wrestled a match since a match against WWE Hall of Famer Edge on the August 24 episode of WWE SmackDown in what marked the Rated-R Superstar’s final WWE match before his contract expired. Soon after the match, it was reported by Dave Meltzer that Sheamus was dealing with a severe shoulder injury which was the reason we haven’t seen him in action since.
In the absence of their leader, his Brawling Brutes stablemates, Butch and Ridge Holland have been making appearances on NXT as well as on WWE Smackdown.
