Sheamus hits back at fans for supporting popular 40-year-old WWE Superstar over him on SmackDown

Sheamus took a toll on LA Knight's fans and called them the YEAH Bots, who only chant the YEAH over the arena and in the comment section of his tweets.

The Celtic Warrior Sheamus is having quite a decent run in WWE, fighting for the mid-card championships. He recently participated in the Invitational Fatal 4-Way matchup for the US Title this week on Smackdown. Even after being one of the most experienced stars among the four participants, he lacked support from fans because of the crowd’s massive reactions to LA Knight.

Before the bout even began, Knight cut a promo for the sake of gaining the crowd’s reaction. Knight spoke about his further matchup and laid down his plans for capturing the US Title as the audience supported him with the chants of his catchphrase, ‘YEAH!’. Sheamus then took this point and stated the crowd to be the “YEAH Bots” who keep on chanting ‘Yeah’ for Knight’s support on Twitter.

Sheamus, being aware of the coming comments from La Knight’s fans, then edited the tweet. As he smartly wrote, the comments section also consists of those ‘YEAH Bots’. He then added a hashtag that kind of opposed the YEAH Movement and subtly wrote #nah. All of this tweeting by Sheamus happened right after his fatal-four-way match. While the smart edit of him came around the last hour of SmackDown.

The fatal-four-way bout had Rey Mysterio, Sheamus, Cameron Grimes, and Knight facing off against each other. While the winner of this fight was to face Santos Escobar next week on SmackDown to determine Theory’s next opponent. Every participant fought fiercely and gave a classic match to kick off the show in an incredible manner. But the result of this match was pulled out as a shock when Mysterio emerged victorious, pinning Grimes for the win.

Although the United States Champion Austin Theory’s opponent for SummerSlam is yet to be determined, it has been made clear that it will be an LWO member. This week’s episode of SmackDown confirmed Rey Mysterio’s spot in the finals for the US Title Invitational against his LWO stablemate Santos Escobar.

Mysterio picked up his win over three other superstars, namely Cameron Grimes, Sheamus, and LA Knight. Among these, Knight was the hot favorite to win the bout and go for the United States Championship. But the actual plans disappointed the WWE Universe and made them complain about LA’s bookings in the company.

While Escobar secured his position last week in the same kind of fatal-four-way match. Having defeated Grayson Waller, Butch, and AJ Styles in the hard-hitting bout, the LWO member picked up his win due to Styles getting distracted by Karrion Kross. Otherwise, the match was nearly won by AJ, who almost looked to hit his finisher.
