Highlights
- Sheamus claps back at fans’ weight comments on social media, acknowledging he has put on a few pounds.
- He was aiming to get in shape for the WWE Draft but got called back early, dealing with a prior injury.
- Sheamus is motivated to silence body-shaming fans by working harder and getting in the best shape of his career.
Sheamus has taken to social media to blast fans who have been preoccupied with his weight gain and not the fact he’s back in WWE, having returned this past Monday night on Raw. Sheamus made his return to the red brand, wrestling in a match versus Ivar. He picked up the win and got a huge ovation from the live crowd in Montreal, but he’s been taking some heat for putting on a few pounds and looking a bit out of shape.
Sheamus certainly was bigger and he’s acknowledged it in social media posts following his return. However, he’s not taken kindly to fans who have edited images from Raw to make him look bigger than he was and body-shaming him in the process. He wrote on X.com on Thursday:
Ok Ok take your best shots.. Whalemus, Too Many Pies, etc.. and then we’re done with the photoshopping & shaming. I was aiming for the Draft & got an early call-up. My bad. On me. Been sleeping in the gym ever since SO watch this space. I appreciate the love too.
Sheamus noting that he was working on getting in shape for his return before getting called back to WWE a little early is a bit surprising. He’s been known for his workout video series on YouTube and one would imagine that he’d been working hard to get into shape the moment he could. At the same time, he was dealing with a serious injury that might have hampered his ability to do the workouts he would have liked. That WWE originally planned to have him be part of the WWE Draft would have been a nice surprise, but it also would have only given him another two weeks to lose the extra pounds he was trying to shed.

The Celtic Warrior is still salty his triple threat match didn’t headline either night of WrestleMania 39.
Expect Sheamus To Shove It Down People’s Throats
The fact he says he’s been sleeping at the gym since Monday’s Raw suggests the comments got to him and he’s keen to show fans he’s aiming to be in better shape. In fact, don’t be surprised if the relentless nature of mean-spirited fans leads to Sheamus being in the best shape of his career when this is all said and done.
