WWE has revealed that Sheamus must pull out of The Last Time Is Now tournament due to a shoulder injury. The company shared the update on social media Friday, confirming that the former China rival is not medically fit to continue in the competition. Further details are expected to be announced on tonight’s SmackDown episode.
The Last Time Is Now tournament is an eight-person, single-elimination event across Raw and SmackDown, designed to determine who will face John Cena in his final bout in the upcoming weeks. Sheamus was set to compete against Carmelo Hayes in the first round on SmackDown.
This marks another hurdle for Sheamus, who has struggled with shoulder injuries throughout his career, including surgery back in 2015. As a veteran and Grand Slam champion, this means he won’t have the opportunity to cement his legacy in this event.
Fan Take: This setback is disappointing for Sheamus’ fans who were eager to see him make a strong impact in the tournament. It also shakes up the competition, potentially opening the door for fresh rivalries and surprising outcomes that could redefine WWE’s future storylines.
