Despite being a part of 'The Bar' along with Cesaro for the past few years, it is easy to forget that the Irishman had a pretty solid run as a singles star prior to joining forces with Cesaro to form 'The Bar'. In fact, the Celtic Warrior is one of the most decorated Superstars in WWE history, winning as many championships as possible. In addition to that, Sheamus is also a former Royal Rumble, King of The Ring and Money In The Bank contract winner, a record he shares with Edge and Brock Lesnar.

Sheamus was taken off TV and live events after he suffered a concussion during a three-man tag team match on SmackDown in April. Rumors began surfacing following this incident which suggested that the slew of neck injuries and concussions may force Sheamus to retire from in-ring competition. But, all rumors appear to be untrue as the former WWE Champion is reported to make his in-ring return sometime in the near future. He was reportedly present at the SmackDown TV tapings last week which would indicate that he will be returning to the squared circle very soon.

Although it might not seem like an interesting match-up on paper, it could end up being a pretty solid match, in our opinion. A match against Black will be the perfect way for Sheamus to make his in-ring return. It will be interesting to see how well the styles of Black and Sheamus mesh inside the squared circle.
