According to WWE, Sheamus is banged up in the aftermath of the October 21 episode of WWE SmackDown.
On Friday night, Sheamus faced Solo Sikoa in a singles match. Their respective stables, the Brawling Brutes and The Bloodline, have been engaged in a budding rivalry since Sheamus and Sikoa battled in a Fatal 4-Way match last week. During that bout, Ridge Holland and Butch brawled with the Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso).
The feud reached a new level on SmackDown this week. Zayn distracted Sheamus and helped Sikoa score the win in their bout. After the bell, The Bloodline attacked Sheamus, and Jey Uso hit his arm with a steel chair.
WWE later announced that Sheamus was taken to a medical facility, where he was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture near his elbow.

It's unclear how long Sheamus will be out of action.
In a WWE Digital Exclusive, Holland and Butch vowed to get revenge for The Bloodline's assault.
Fightful will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
