At Survivor Series: War Games, Ludwig Kaiser beat Sheamus to a pulp with his own shillelagh, effectively sidelining him for a month. On Monday, “The Celtic Warrior” returned to WWE programming with a pounce on Kaiser and a taste of revenge in his mouth.
Kaiser took the mic on the Dec. 30 episode of “WWE Raw” and, after berating the ungrateful Houston crowd, attempted to call out current Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker. Instead of finding a showdown against the champion, Kaiser found an angry Sheamus. Sheamus rushed into the ring to start bombarding Kaiser with blow after blow. Kaiser tried to fight back by targeting Sheamus’ eyes, but Sheamus responded with a leveling shot to Kaiser’s midsection. Houston cheered as Sheamus charged Kaiser with a Brogue Kick, and “The Celtic Warrior” remained standing to end the segment.
Sheamus has been absent from WWE programming for nearly a month after losing in a triple threat for the Intercontinental Championship to Kaiser and Breakker at Survivor Series: War Games. Sheamus has been chasing the Intercontinental Championship for years – the midcard title being the final achievement Sheamus needs to become a WWE Grand Slam Champion – and Kaiser’s assault with a shillelagh was a big reason why Sheamus failed to win the title in Vancouver. However, any hopes of an Intercontinental Title shot are currently on pause, as Sheamus seems determined to get revenge on Kaiser first.
It is currently unknown if Breakker, who was called out by Kaiser and the person who pinned Sheamus in November, will be involved in this feud moving forward.
