Sheamus had a huge confidence boost at WWE Raw last week as he resumed in-ring action with nothing less than a banger win. This sense of revived self-content led the 46-year-old to look back at some of his prestigious past feuds while dumping on AEW’s Will Ospreay in the process.

AEW Dynasty, the mission statement of Khan’s promotion, brought a jaw-dropping match between Will Ospreay and Bryan Danielson, with the latter emerging victorious at the end. However, this high-flying feat of Ospreay didn’t mark him safe from online trolling and that too, from a renowned WWE act like Sheamus.

Sheamus returned to WWE TV healing from injury after a gap of eight months and reestablished his supremacy in the fold, picking up a horrific win against Shinsuke Nakamura. The Celtic Warrior also set his target on the Intercontinental Championship title, the one accolade that he didn’t yet get to touch in his storied career. The former WWE Champion Sheamus posted a series of photos from his iconic matches against Gunther at Clash at the Castle, Gunther and Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 39, Edge on SmackDown in Toronto, and Drew McIntyre on SmackDown.

Flaunting his incredible feat in those bouts, the Great White wrote in the caption, ”4 matches that could define any career.. and that was only my year pre-injury. Ring rust & body fat will go, but the killer remains. Haters be damned. #LFG”

It led to a fan comparing him and Will Ospreay, dubbing the former as better. Sheamus hilariously seconded him, saying, ‘‘It only took me 18 seconds 😉”

Clearly, he referenced his WWE heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania 28 where he took out Daniel Brayn in the said timeframe. Sheamus really seems to be on fire since winning his first WWE match in a while and ain’t shying away from countering trolls.

Before overthrowing Nakamura On this week’s episode of WWE RAW, Sheamus had a fiery confrontation with the Scottish Warrior. The wrestler putting on some extra pounds didn’t go unnoticed by his old friend, Mclntyre, who shot straight, saying Sheamus has had ”burger after burger.” during his time off the TV. But instead of being offended, the former champion laughed it off.

Later on social media, he shared a picture of the longtime creepy Burger King Mascot, noting he wanted to be that Burger King after winning the King of the Ring in Saudi Arabia.
