Former World Champion Sheamus has undergone surgery following his recent absence from WWE television.
The update was shared by his wife, Isabella Revilla-Farrelly, who posted a video on Instagram showing the pair arriving at the Birmingham Surgery Center in Alabama, a facility frequently used by WWE talent for medical procedures. In a lighthearted caption, she acknowledged the situation while referencing their recent travels.
“When I told my husband I wanted to go on one last trip before the end of the year, this is NOT what I meant,” she wrote. “From the Eiffel Tower in Paris to the Trevi Fountain in Rome to La Sagrada Família in Barcelona to… the Birmingham Surgery Center in Alabama. I’m honestly just happy to travel with him.”
According to PWInsider, Sheamus underwent surgery on his shoulder earlier this week. The procedure follows a stretch of absence from WWE programming that began after his appearance on the November 17 episode of Raw, where he teamed with John Cena and Rey Mysterio against The Judgment Day.
Sheamus was also removed from “The Last Time Is Now” tournament shortly afterwards, having previously advanced past Shinsuke Nakamura in the opening round on November 10. At the time, WWE cited the injury as the reason for his withdrawal.
There is currently no timetable for Sheamus’ return to in-ring action. The former WWE Champion has not publicly commented on his recovery beyond the post shared by his wife, and WWE has yet to announce when, or if, he will be cleared to compete again.
How Long Has Sheamus Been With WWE?
Sheamus has been part of WWE for nearly two decades. The Irish star signed with the company in 2006 and made his televised debut in 2009, quickly rising through the ranks. Within his first year on the main roster, he captured the WWE Championship, becoming one of the fastest-rising stars in company history.
Since then, Sheamus has remained a consistent presence across multiple eras, earning numerous championships and establishing himself as one of WWE’s most durable and decorated performers.
