A certain section of fans from the WWE Universe decided to troll Sheamus upon his recent return to the promotion. However, it didn't sit well with a former Intercontinental Champion, who fired back at them.

Earlier this year, WWE entered a new era with new stories and surprises on the way to the weekly product. Sheamus made his long-awaited return to the promotion after an injury and defeated The Viking Raider's Ivar. However, some fans trolled the star for gaining a few extra pounds during his hiatus.

Speaking on Ryback TV, The Big Guy spoke about The Celtic Warrior's return and the online critics. The former Intercontinental Champion stated that multiple injuries and an early return were the driving factors behind the change in the star's appearance. Moreover, Ryback fired back at the fans for trolling a decorated multi-time champion.

>"It was absurd that that was even brought up by anyone, but that's the world we live in. A super muscular jacked guy who's been in shape his whole career comes back and maybe he's 8–10 pounds heavier than he was, but not even remotely close to being out of shape, and looked phenomenal out there (...) or they've got to alter a photo to try to make that the conversation. That's what I'm saying: these people are miserable, you've got to drown them out, and Sheamus looked great. Congratulations! Welcome back, buddy. He's a stud." [1:20 - 1:53]
