WWE had Sheamus advertised to face Randy Orton at WWE’s live event on Thursday in Brisbane, Australia at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre but did not appear. He was replaced by King Barrett.
There’s no reason as to why he didn’t appear, but rumors a going around that he’s not even there and is currently in the U.S.
He appeared on Monday’s RAW but did not appear at Tuesday’s SmackDown TV taping.
Expect Barrett to work against Orton for the rest of the tour.
