For WWE superstars, staying in top physical shape is essential. It helps them stay fit and enhances their appearance and performance. Many follow strict diets and workout routines to maintain their look. Sheamus is known as one of the fittest wrestlers, but there was a time he struggled with this.
A fan recently posted a comparison of Sheamus from April 2024, showing his past and current physique. Sheamus responded, crediting his leaner body to a meat-based diet. His hard work in the gym also contributed to the change. He even runs a YouTube channel, offering fitness tips and featuring other WWE stars.
After a match in August 2023, the 47-year-old took a break from WWE. When he returned in April 2024, his physique had noticeably changed. Drew McIntyre joked about it during a promo. But Sheamus quickly regained his focus and returned to his shredded form.
In an interview, the former WWE Champion admitted he aimed to return by WrestleMania XL. When that didn’t happen, he lost motivation and let his fitness slip. By the time he returned to Raw, he wasn’t fully prepared for TV. Still, he worked hard to get back in shape.
Sheamus teases an Irish rivalry with Finn Balor
Sheamus and Finn Balor are the top Irish stars on WWE’s male roster. Both have held world championships and earned major honors. Despite their success, fans have never seen them in a major feud against each other. This feels like a missed opportunity.
Recently, Sheamus shared a photo with Finn Balor during WWE’s European tour. The two were seen sharing a Guinness. Sheamus mentioned that while he respects Balor, a feud between them could “feed generations.” This hints at a potential future rivalry.
There’s a chance fans might see them clash soon. Reports suggest Bron Breakker will defend his Intercontinental Title in a multi-man match at WrestleMania 41. This could be the perfect stage for Sheamus and Balor to finally face off.

Both stars have recently chased the Intercontinental Championship but fell short. They remain determined to win the title. If they’re added to the WrestleMania match, it could lead to their long-awaited showdown on wrestling’s biggest stage.
