5 opponents for Sheamus when he returns to action on WWE SmackDown

#1 Shinsuke Nakamura

Sami Zayn's mouth could land Shinsuke Nakamura into a deadly feud

Sheamus could get right down to business as soon as he returns to the squared circle. He could do this by coming face to face with Sami Zayn, fast-tracking his way into the Intercontinental Championship scene in the process.

Sheamus has won several titles in his career, and the Intercontinental Championship is the only major championship missing from his treasure chest. He could score the title in his first return feud to make a big impact, and run through the Blue brand’s roster from then on.

Shinsuke Nakamura is currently paired with Cesaro, a Superstar who has been Sheamus’ best friend in the past, and we could also see The Swiss Cyborg abandon Nakamura and help Sheamus get back to the top of the roster.

It seems like Sheamus has his sights set on ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt as well, and we’ve heard rumors that Wyatt could be in for a major match for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36.

Apart from Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, Sheamus is one believable opponent for The Fiend, so we could see WWE take that direction for the Superstar if he manages to make a good impact upon his return.
