WWE.com (wwe.com) is reporting that Sheamus will likely be on the shelf for the rest of 2013 with a torn labrum.
While his face act has gotten a bit stale in recent months, you can't deny that he's been one of WWE's most consistent performers within in the past couple of years.

He had really good SmackDown matches right before Mania, but the character was treading water. When he comes back, he could use a new direction. Also maybe lose the hair do.

4 to 6 months would put him right about on schedule to return around the Royal Rumble, I think. Not that I would guarantee it but there has been a trend of sorts over the past several rumbles in which a wrestler returning from a injury or just a long hiatus has had a big influence in the outcome (Cena in '08, Edge in '10, Jericho in '12). So my guess is that they might hold him off until then and maybe give him a big push as the rumble winner when he returns.
I'm actually a bit of the mark for a guy as a worker and think he's super underrated.
That said, this injury couldn't come at a better time. Stale character like Tracker said, and the further we all get from 1-800-FELLA the better.
(Speaking of which, does Linda trick Vince into thinking it's still the 90s by showing old VHS tapes of TV shows that show 1-800 collect commercials? What the Hell?)
For my money Sheamus is the best brawler in the WWE. Brutal, physical matches, albeit with little technical wrestling, even though he keeps the Texas Cloverleaf in his back pocket.
He also had the misfortune of Wrestlemania 28 and getting tepid reactions, at best, after winning the belt, while Daniel Bryan has skyrocketed.
Hope he heals well and quickly, though. He has a great personality to boot.
And I kind of liked the 1-800-FELLA segments. They reminded me of the APA vignettes where Farooq and Bradshaw kind of ripped off Pulp Fiction. I think a payoff with someone actually dialing that, and Sheamus becoming a 'babyface for hire' would've been interesting; kind of like 911 in ECW.
