Which former World Champion made his return to WWE RAW this week?
In a backstage segment on RAW this week, GM Adam Pearce was seen in a conversation with Grayson Waller who was not happy about his match set for tonight.
Instead, he offered his tag team partner, Austin Theory to take his place in the match, to which he agreed. When Theory asked about his opponent, Pearce said that it was a surprise.
The former WWE United States Champion was all fired up upon entering the ring. However, he was left stunned when the lights went out and Pat McAfee shouted, 'It's Fight Night.' As they came back, the fans saw the return of The Celtic Warrior
after the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event.
The crowd erupted at the sight of seeing the former WWE Champion march down to the ring for his match against Austin Theory.
The match began with Theory trying to escape, but Sheamus came righ after him and delivered his power-packed moves. Following an exciting display of his in-ring acumen and dominating Theory for the majority of the match, Sheamus put an end to the contest by delivering a thunderous Brogue Kick to him to secure the pinfall.

This was his first victory on Monday Night RAW in months.
Sheamus has been a cornerstone for WWE for more than 15 years. He has been an accomplished athlete and has won multiple titles and accolades in the process. However, the Celtic Warrior missed the entire road to WrestleMania 41. But now that he is back on the RAW roster and made a statement with his match against Austin Theory, it will be exciting to see his journey moving forward.

Priyanka Chopra Posts Goofy BTS Moments From Heads of State Sets, Clicks A Pic With John Cena, Idris Elba
Washington : Actress Priyanka Chopra offered her fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse from her upcoming Hollywood film 'Heads of State'. Taking to her Instagram handle, Priyanka shared a video that perfectly captured her journey in 'Heads of State'. Along with Priyanka, the film also stars Idris Elba and WWE superstar John Cena in the lead roles. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Priyanka (@priyankachopra) The 'Fashion' actress treated her fans with the never-before-seen photos from the film 'Heads of State'. It featured the group picture of the movie lead cast, a snap of Priyanka showcasing bruises and several fun moments of the actress with her daughter Malti. The reel captures Priyanka in her element--suited up as MI6 agent Noel Bisset--showcasing her effortless command over high-octane action and her undeniable screen presence. The actress also seems to flex her fit physique as the MI6 agent Noel Bisset in the post. The film is helmed by Ilya Naishuller, the filmmaker behind Hardcore Henry (2015) and Nobody (2021). It is an action-packed comedy about the U.S. President (played by John Cena) and the UK Prime Minister (played by Idris Elba), who must set aside their rivalry to thwart a global conspiracy and save the world -- if they can work together. Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, Stephen Root, Sarah Niles, Richard Coyle and Paddy Considine also play crucial roles in 'Heads of State'. The trailer received a thumbs-up from the fans. Reacting to the video, a netizen commented, "Woah it looks interesting. "Can't wait for this film," another one wrote. Official synopsis of the film read, "In the action-comedy Heads of State, the UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) have a not-so-friendly and very public rivalry that jeopardizes their countries' "special relationship." But when they become the targets of a powerful and ruthless foreign adversary--who proves more than a match for the two leaders' security forces--they are begrudgingly forced to rely on the only two people they can trust: each other. Ultimately allied with the brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), they must go on the run and find a way to work together long enough to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world." 'Heads of State' will be released on Prime Video on July 2.

Is Vince McMahon the most controversial boss? Shocking cases that have been filed against WWE's former CEO
(Image via Getty Images: Vince McMahon) Once the biggest name in the world of WWE, Vince McMahon has been a controversy magnet for most of his lifetime. Not just the latest row with former employee Janet Grant, McMahon has been named in numerous other lawsuits over the years. From ex-WWE wrestler Sable filing a s*xual misconduct case against him to the multiple hush money instances that were made public in 2022, he is not lacking for legal troubles. Which is probably why many believe he is one of, if not the most controversial, bosses that are in the public eye. The Steroid scandal Back in 1994, when the WWE was still known as WWF, Vince McMahon was indicted in federal court because of a steroid controversy, which said he supplied performance-enhancing drugs to the wrestlers in his company. This led to the transfer of control of the WWF to his now ex-wife, Linda McMahon. But McMahon was acquitted of all charges by the jury due to a lack of evidentiary support. The Sable lawsuit One of the earliest instances of a lawsuit being filed against Vince McMahon was when Sable , one of the biggest stars who once graced the WWE ring, filed a s*xual misconduct lawsuit against her boss. It was a $110 million lawsuit that was filed against both McMahon and the company, WWE, for s*xual misconduct and unsafe working environment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo But things didn't stir much, as the suit was settled out of court, and Sable returned to work once more under the WWE banner. The Rita Marie lawsuit Yet another s*xual lawsuit was filed against McMahon when a former WWF referee, Rita Chatterton aka Rita Marie, accused him of forcing her to perform oral s*x on him; and when she refused to comply, he r*ped her. This matter was also settled out of court, as the former WWE bossman said he wanted to settle to "avoid the cost of litigation." The two Tanning spa incidents In two separate instances - 2006 and 2011, Vince McMahon was accused by two separate individuals from two separate tanning salons of s*xual misconduct. The first incident was from Miami, and the second from California, but no charges were filed after the investigation. The hush-money scandal Vince McMahon was accused of paying hush money to a former WWE employee after being in a consensual relationship with them for three years back in 2022. But the case fizzled out and McMahon stated that the discrepancy in finance was due to accounting errors. The Janel Grant lawsuit Back in January of 2024, a lawsuit was filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant , where she accused her former boss, Vince McMahon, and the former WWE EVP John Laurinaitis, of s*xual misconduct and s*x trafficking charges. She said that she was used by McMahon as a barter to make people compliant with him on various occasions. Also Read: WWE founder Vince McMahon has objected to Janel Grant obtaining new evidence in the Vince McMahon s*x trafficking scandal case This eventually led to McMahon having to quit WWE's parent company, TKO, and leaving behind something that was built by him for the better part of his career. The lawsuit is still ongoing, and the federal court has yet to reach a verdict on the matter. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.
