Now, Sheamus has also decided to quit WWE for the same reason. Backstage details have emerged on his status and why he turned down the new offer.

The Irishman was gearing up for a comeback from a myriad of injuries when the word got out that he was finishing up with the sports entertainment juggernaut.

According to reports, talks between the two parties fizzled out during contract negotiations. The Celtic Warrior was said to have swiftly rejected the offer.

WWE wasted no time moving him to the alumni section of the roster page, confirming his impending departure after 19 years.

Fightful Select provided another update, saying Sheamus is done with WWE, though he remains under contract. Interestingly, the 48-year-old star had signed a contract extension in 2023, which would have kept him with the company at least until 2028.

There’s no word yet on how his deal was up this soon, except that he was approached about a restructured extension, which he turned down.

A backstage source noted that Sheamus was offered less money, which he took as an insult, considering the amount of work he put in.

Sheamus is expected to garner heavy interest from AEW and CMLL, to name a few, when he becomes a free agent.

He has maintained a healthy relationship with Claudio Castagnoli, formerly known as Cesaro, leaving fans wondering whether a reunion is on the cards. The Swiss Superman is expected to push for his former partner’s potential AEW signing.

However, the AEW roster remains split on the idea of bringing in the Irishman, especially when they have a bloated roster.

Either way, Sheamus doesn’t have to wait for 90 days to sign elsewhere since he was not released from his contract.

He has yet to make an official comment on his exit, but has removed all mentions of WWE from his social media bio to signal the end of his stint.
