Sheamus Wrestles First WWE Match In Nine Months (Videos)

Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Champion Sheamus returned to action this week at a special "house party" celebrating WWE's new partnership with BT Sport. BT Sport is now the home for WWE programming in the U.K. and Ireland after WWE's 30+ year partnership with Sky Sports ended last month.

Sheamus defeated Andrade at the event. It was his first match since the post-WrestleMania 35 episode of SmackDown Live, where he teamed with Cesaro and Drew McIntrye in a losing effort to The New Day.

Sheamus also returned to television earlier this month, saving Shorty G from an attack by The Revival. After making the save, Sheamus planted Shorty G with a Brogue Kick.

Also at the event, Charlotte Flair defeated Nikki Cross while Ilja Dragunov and Moustache Mountain defeated Gallus.

So good to see @WWESheamus back in action.

The Celtic Warrior told me earlier that he's laser-focused on winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship!#WWEonBT pic.twitter.com/2lbqMWn9Du
