There's a rumor current making its way around the internet that Sheamus actually fell asleep during last night's WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view. Fans were apparently yelling at him to wake up during the Alexander Rusev 2-on-1 handicap match against Xavier Woods and R-Truth, as he was a member of the WWE Network pre-show and post-show panel. That said, Sheamus did take to Twitter Monday afternoon to deny those rumors…
I swear, wasn't having 40 winks during the Rusev #ExtremeRules bout… That said, I am very well rested for #Raw tonight.
