Sheamus Suffers a Nasty Nose Injury as a Result of an Elbow From Humberto Carrillo on Raw
Most people bash WWE’s sporting credentials as “scripted” and “fake.” On the contrary, many people scorn the theory altogether. Regardless of what one thinks, the damages that wrestlers incur during matches are very much authentic. Sometimes, these fractures can be so devastating that they end the career of a wrestler once and for all. Sheamus was an unfortunate victim of the same.
This Monday night on RAW, the WWE United States Champion suffered a devastating injury. He faced off against Humberto Carrillo and met his right elbow nose first. Needless to say, the nose of ‘The Celtic Warrior’ has been broken.

That looked nasty and Sheamus looked like he gave Carrillo a receipt pretty instantly

Playing the video in slow motion, we can see that the blow looks absolutely devastating. We can only wonder how Sheamus was standing after that.
Maybe, that’s why he is the United States Champion and not us! Sheamus had this to say on Twitter,

Sheamus raised the bar
With the Universal Championship and the WWE Championship being the usual centers of attention, fans often tend to forget the prestige of the US Championship. Strikingly, unlike all these championships, the United States title had first arrived in WCW.
In the past, famous wrestlers and Hall of Famers alike fought over this distinguished title. Now, with its value seemingly diminishing, WWE has finally captured the fans’ interest for the title again. With Sheamus at the helm, we are seeing something special.

Sheamus’s claims of United States Championship greatness aside, we can definitely agree that he has helped in the rising popularity of the championship. Over the years, the United States Championship had seemingly lost its past glory, mostly because of the introduction of newer championships and higher stakes.
If the fan-favorite wrestler isn’t competing for the title, then it is bound to lose its prior value. The ‘Celtic Warrior’ has done an incredible job in pulling the fans’ interest back to the title.
