Sheamus Shares Photo With Asuka From WWE Raw, Compares Her Face Paint to Abe ‘Knuckleball’ Schwartz

WWE Superstar Sheamus shared a photo with Asuka from last night’s WWE Raw on Instagram. He especially appreciated Asuka’s face paint, comparing it to former WWE Superstar, Abe “Knuckleball” Schwartz, aka Steve Lombardi, who is likely best known to fans as The Brooklyn Brawler.

Sheamus wrote in the caption, “Loved @wwe_asuka tribute to #abeknuckleballschwartz tonight.. ⚾️”

During last night’s WWE Raw, Asuka and her Kabuki Warriors tag team partner, Kairi Sane, competed in a tag team bout against the team of Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. Asuka won the bout for her team after submitting Valkyria with an Asuka Lock.

Meanwhile, Sheamus appeared during last night’s show, interfering to stop Dominik Mysterio from trying to interefere during last night’s World Tag Team Title bout, featuring champs AJ Styles and Dragon Lee against The Judgment Day. Sheamus targeted WWE Intercontinental Champion Mysterio, suggesting a future title match might be brewing between the two.

The WWE Intercontinental Title is the last major singles title Sheamus has not held during his WWE career. He would have to win that title to obtain the WWE Grand Slam Championship title on his record before he calls it a career.
