Sheamus seemingly injured in backstage assault by 30-year-old star

Sheamus was seemingly injured in a backstage assault on RAW. This assault came from someone who was once close to him.

Over a year ago, Sheamus formed the Brawling Brutes alongside Pete Dunne and Ridge Holland. Together, they got over and were involved in some big feuds. However, after The Celtic Warrior disappeared from WWE television last year, the group fell apart before slowly disbanding.

A couple of weeks ago, the former WWE Champion came out to help Dunne against Bronson Reed. However, he was shoved away when he went to help the 30-year-old star. In the following weeks, Dunne and Sheamus took shots at each other.

Tonight on RAW, the Irish star was interviewed backstage. He addressed his feud with Pete Dunne when Ludwig Kaiser interrupted him. The latter and the Celtic Warrior also have a history against each other. However, Dunne attacked his former stablemate from behind. Pete then assaulted him using a shillelagh. He also hit his hand with the weapon, seemingly injuring him in the process.

It looks like this feud between the Celtic Warrior and Pete Dunne has quickly become personal. These two men could soon get in a ring and settle their differences by slugging it out.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
