WWE superstar Sheamus made his long-awaited return to a WWE ring this past Monday night on RAW following several months off, and took on Ivar, one half of the Viking Raiders, in a physical match that saw Sheamus pull off the victory.

While Sheamus’ return was a welcome sight for many fans, it came with plenty of commentary about Sheamus’ appearance, particularly on social media where fans engaged in body shaming the long-tenured star, who did look a little heavier than the last time fans saw him in the ring.

Sheamus took to Twitter/X to say that “I’m just big boned”, but following more burns from social media he took to Twitter/X again to address the body shaming.

Ok Ok take your best shots.. Whalemus, Too Many Pies, etc.. and then we’re done with the photoshopping & shaming. I was aiming for the Draft & got an early call-up. My bad. On me. Been sleeping in the gym ever since SO watch this space 👊🏻 i appreciate the love too #Sheamoose pic.twitter.com/KlO6TmWTz4

You can watch’s Sheamus’ return match on RAW, right here:

Cody Rhodes, fresh off his monumental victory over Roman Reigns to capture the WWE Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania 40, is already embarking on his next story, and that could include The Rock, who has stepped away from WWE to focus on his Hollywood commitments for the time being.

Rhodes believes that it’s only a matter of time before The Final Boss makes his return to the ring, and there could be a big Rhodes/Rock match in the works.

“I wanna say yes” Rhodes said when asked about a potential Rhodes vs. Rock match.

“I think it’ll really come down to can I be a good champion or a great champion?” Rhodes said during an appearance on Good Morning Britain. “Roman Reigns was a great champion, and will that be enough to entice The Rock?”

Rhodes acknowledged the impact The Rock has had on the industry in the past, and during his latest run, but gave his flowers to the current, and new, generation of WWE talent.

“This run, it’s a whole new generation, a whole new locker room” he said. “Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, myself, Rhea Ripley, all these people. I think the more we keep this, the better we do, the more chances it lures Rock back into the fray.”

Former WWE star Lanny ‘The Genius’ Poffo has reportedly died at the age of 68, according to his close friend “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, although no cause of death has been given at the time of this writing.

Poffo made his in-ring debut with the All-South Wrestling Alliance back in 1974, and also wrestled for a number of promotions such as the National Wrestling Alliance where he won a tag-team title with his father, Angelo.

Poffo debuted for WWE back in 1985 where he would be known as “Leaping Lanny Poffo” and “The Genius.”

Poffo would return to WWE back in 2015 to induct his brother, ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage, into the WWE Hall of Fame in a touching induction ceremony ahead of WrestleMania 31.

“With a very, very heavy heart, I’ve been asked to let everyone know about the passing of our friend and colleague Lanny Poffo, The Genius,” Duggan said on Twitter.
