After months of anticipation, Sheamus made an impactful comeback this week on Monday Night RAW where he defeated Ivar in a singles bout. The return of The Celtic Warrior also received a tremendous amount of reaction from the live crowd in Montreal, Canada.
Following the show, the company posted a digital exclusive interview with the Irishman, where he put the whole RAW roster on notice, including current World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest.
Many fans also started predicting a showdown between Damian and Sheamus due to the heated history between these two. For those unaware, back in 2021 the 46-year-old star and Priest were involved in a heated rivalry and wrestled in a series of matches.

Meanwhile, in this article, we will discuss the reasons why the former US Champion must revive his three-year-old feud with Damian Priest following his return to the red brand.

To bring their rivalry full circle
As Sheamus and Damian Priest already have a history of bad blood, the rejuvenation of their rivalry will bring their story full circle. The recent bookings by Chief Content Officer Triple H are significant validation that The Game loves long-term storylines which increase the likelihood of the renewal of their old feud.
Also with the revitalization of their three-year-old rivalry, The Cerebral Assassin will be able to present another long-term storyline to the WWE Universe.
To bring Sheamus into the World Title scenario
The resurgence of the rivalry between The Celtic Warrior and the Archer of Infamy will also help the Stamford-based promotion to bring the 46-year-old star back into the World Title scenario.
A potential scenario could see the veteran either interrupting or confronting The Judgment Day member in the upcoming weeks. During their interaction, Sheamus might demand a World Title shot and challenge Damian.
Bringing back the veteran into the World Title scene will also aid the former US Champion to retain his main event spot in the company.
A solid match for Damian Priest's title reign
Damian Priest is set to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Jey Uso after the former Right Hand Man won the number one contenders' match to gain a shot at the title. However, it would be a tough call to have Priest lose his title that early.
So, a feud with The Celtic Warrior will not only bring their story full circle but also help the company add another solid banger match to Damian's World Title reign. This would aid The Judgment Day member in making his title reign more interesting and give the fans quality matches to watch.
