8 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: 4-time World champion makes big appearance change, Returning star turns face (November 29th, 2019)

#4. Sheamus returns with an old look but a different character

Sheamus is set to return for the first time since WrestleMania 35. The grandest stage of them all was the last place we saw The Celtic Warrior as he tried to compete for the SmackDown Tag Team titles in what would turn out to be The Bar's last match.

He was reportedly concussed after that and has been out action for close to eight full months. There was a promo where he was talking but only his silhouette was shown and when he emerged, it revealed that he has officially returned to his old look for the first time in over 5 years! That's right.

He returned in 2015 after a long injury spell with a brand new look - the mohawk one that he kept for many years. At the time, it was refreshing since fans had never seen that before and he had turned heel, with the new look getting the desired reactions of "You look stupid!". They certainly can't say that anymore because he doesn't look stupid anymore.

He has officially returned and while he has turned heel, his character has a new edge to it. Whether they'll reunite him with Cesaro or not is yet to be seen.
