As noted, former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus has tendonitis in his left arm and is wearing a cast. WWE has pulled him from this weekend’s live events due to the injury. Sheamus was scheduled to wrestle at Saturday’s live event in Tupelo, MS at the BancorpSouth Arena and Sunday’s event in Columbus, GA at the Columbus Civic Center.
Rusev has replaced him and will be facing Roman Reigns at the events.
It’s believed that he will remain on WWE television but won’t be working matches, similar to the role King Barrett has been doing in recent weeks.
