There was a lot of speculation with regard to what Sheamus would be doing upon his return. Some of it pointed towards him engaging in a feud with Roman Reigns, which would be an interesting program because of the history between the two men and because they're both big and tough sluggers.
But it is pretty clear that Sheamus is going to be a part of the mid-card for the time being. He's not going to be involved in the main event picture at all, and neither will John Morrison, the other man to return this week.
What does it say about the current WWE roster and product when Superstars with an impressive track record and legacy return in the mid-card despite the hype while Tyson Fury and Cain Velasquez can shoot right to the top upon their debuts?
