Following Friday’s SmackDown, WWE made the announcement that Sheamus is out of action with an injury sustained at the hands of the Bloodline. After the Bloodline attacked Sheamus at ringside, WWE announced on Twitter that he suffered “a non-displaced fracture near his elbow and is still under observation.” Sheamus is still being evaluated. On the show, Sheamus was defeated by Solo Sikoa after Sami Zayn caused a distraction during their match.
There is no indication as to how long Sheamus will remain in storage at this time.
As PWMania.com previously reported, although nothing has been confirmed, it appears that this is a way to keep Sheamus off of television for an extended period of time. When WWE uses these kinds of attack angles, it is typically for the purpose of giving someone time off, either so they can heal up, for personal reasons, or for the storyline itself.
