Lyra Valkyria reached the finals of the 2024 Queen of the Ring tournament, but was defeated by Nia Jax. The Irresistible Force then defeated Bayley at SummerSlam to become the WWE Women’s Champion.

Sheamus reveals his frustration with WWE officials over his entrance music

RAW Superstar Sheamus recently revealed that he was frustrated that he didn’t get to use his “Written in My Face” theme song.

Talking to Chris Van Vliet on INSIGHT podcast, the 46-year-old shared that he tired of asking society to let him use the entrance song. The former frontman of The Brawling Brutes also praised fans for their creativity in coming up with memes about the song.

“Oh man, a long time ago. Maybe, I don’t know. Maybe 2010. People are very creative on the internet. Very creative, especially with music. I miss that song though. A lot of people were upset he got it back but he wasn’t allowed to keep it . [can we have it back?] Maybe… I don’t know, man. Want to go and ask? Go ask, I’m tired of asking. I’m not looking anymore,” he said.

Watch his comments in the video below:

The veteran never won the Intercontinental Championship during his career and came up short in a Triple Threat Match against Bron Breaker and Ludwig Kaiser for the title at WWE Survivor Series 2024. It will be interesting to see if the legend can defeat Ludwig Kaiser tonight on RAW.
