News broke that Sheamus missed Smackdown this week due to an injury. Many fans were confused after Cesaro appeared on the episode by himself.
There were originally no details available about Sheamus’ injury, other than it was ‘undisclosed’.
We have some more details to pass your way.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscribe here), Sheamus suffered a concussion.
It is believed that the injury took place on Smackdown last week. This was when Sheamus, Cesaro, and Drew McIntyre faced off against the New Day. That is the same match where Big E suffered his injury as well.
It is unclear how long Sheamus will be out of action for with the concussion. Head injuries are always a case-by-case basis.
We will let you know if we hear anything more on Sheamus’ status.
