Recent details have emerged regarding Sheamus\u2019 departure from WWE, including backstage support for the veteran star and speculation about where he could find yourself next.<\/p>\n

As we previously reported here on eWn, Sheamus recently exited WWE after declining a restructured contract that was offered while he was sidelined with an injury. In response to a report from WrestleVotes Radio, at the very least one high-ranking WWE office executive advocated on Sheamus\u2019 behalf during discussions with WWE\u2019s parent company, TKO.<\/p>\n

The report also states that a source near Sheamus believes the previous WWE Champion can be open to working for AEW, even when it were only on a short-term basis.<\/p>\n

That possibility comes as Bryan Alvarez recently noted on Wrestling Observer Live that not everyone inside AEW is keen about bringing in additional former WWE names. Some people in the corporate were already hesitant in regards to the potential additions of The Recent Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods), and that sentiment could extend to Sheamus as well.<\/p>\n

Sheamus\u2019 WWE exit reportedly stemmed from the corporate presenting him with a restructured contract while he was recovering from injury. Moderately than accept the revised deal, the 48-year-old opted to part ways with the promotion.<\/p>\n

His final WWE match took place on the November 17 episode of Monday Night RAW, where he teamed with John Cena and Rey Mysterio to defeat Dominik Mysterio, Finn B\u00e1lor, and JD McDonagh of The Judgment Day. The bout also marked Cena\u2019s final appearance as an in-ring competitor on Raw.<\/p>\n
