3) Backstage Note On Sheamus
According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider, Sheamus will be returning to action this week. He has been out of action with a broken nose over the past month.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
Sheamus is slated to return to the ring this week after undergoing a surgery on a broken nose last month.
He is scheduled for this week’s European tour.
My Take:
- I expect to see Sheamus receive a push on Smackdown moving forward. Could see him as the next challenger for Shinsuke Nakamura and the Intercontinental Championship.
2) Backstage Note On Gable Steveson
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), there was some backstage surprise when Gable Steveson was picked in the 2021 WWE Draft.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
Steveson was listed on internal run sheets as being drafted, which prompted many surprised faces when they received the itinerary. Steveson wasn’t at the venue when he was picked, but the sheet actually listed him as having an “entrance,” which clearly didn’t happen.
My Take:
- I was surprised too. I figured they would use him as a free agent until he officially made his debut. I was wrong.
