This past weekend, it was reported that Sheamus’ WWE contract was coming to an end, and though he was offered an extension, “The Celtic Warrior” opted to not re-sign with the corporate, making him a free agent for the primary time in 19 years. Throughout this week, Sheamus has received an outpour of support from his former WWE colleagues in addition to fans who’ve followed his journey for years, and on Friday morning, he addressed his departure on social media while updating his Instagram<\/a> and X<\/a> handles to his real name,\u00a0Stephen Farrelly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just a few days ago, it was also reported that a “high level” WWE official approached TKO in an effort to persuade to maintain Sheamus with the promotion. The report also claimed that the figure inside WWE’s office highlighted the worth Sheamus brings to WWE each out and in of the ring. At the moment, it’s believed that Sheamus has also expressed interest in wrestling for AEW, where he could reunite along with his former tag team partner,\u00a0Claudio Castagnoli, who was often called Cesaro in WWE.<\/p>\n

A lot of Sheamus’ close friends within the industry also paid tribute to his WWE profession, including stars like Drew McIntyre,\u00a0who’s been open about his friendship with the 48-year-old over time. As well as, many legends have come forward to share their thoughts on Sheamus leaving the corporate, including “WWE NXT” commentator Booker T, who thought the Irish star was going to be a WWE “lifer.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n
