Sheamus Defeats Austin Theory in WWE RAW Return Match – The May 5 episode of WWE RAW on Netflix saw the long-awaited return of Sheamus, as the multi-time champion made his in-ring comeback against Austin Theory in front of the Omaha crowd at the CHI Health Center.
Sheamus, who had been absent from televised competition since the 2025 Royal Rumble on February 1, wasted no time reasserting his dominance. After a physical back-and-forth encounter, the veteran floored Theory with a devastating Brogue Kick to score the pinfall victory.
This marks Sheamus’ first match overall since March 23, 2025, and his first match on RAW in several months. The win signals a strong return for the former WWE Champion, who had been sidelined due to undisclosed reasons following his appearance at the Rumble. Austin Theory, meanwhile, continues to struggle with momentum.
The return of Sheamus adds more depth to the RAW roster heading into WWE Backlash and beyond. Whether this win leads to a larger push or title pursuit remains to be seen, but Sheamus has made it clear he’s back to make an impact.
