Sheamus could have walked away from pro wrestling just a few months ago.
Sheamus had been sidelined with a shoulder injury as his last match happened in a loss to Edge on the August 18th episode of SmackDown. While away, it was reported that Sheamus was dealing with an injury.
A week ago, WWE announced his in-ring return when they showed a vignette that highlighted his career/accomplishments. Sheamus was back on WWE Monday Night Raw this week from the Bell Centre in Montreal, QC, where he battled Ivar in a singles match.
In a post on Twitter, the former WWE Champion shed some more light on the situation, noting he nearly retired two months ago due to the pain he was dealing with in his neck.
“The road back to the ring is slow, rough, and unimaginably painful. 2 months ago, I thought I was hanging up my boots for good, but a lot of doctors, trainers, and physios helped get me cleared to do what I love.. fight. #thisiswhatwedo.”
