Ridge Holland even admitted that he didn’t benefit from his alliance with Sheamus because The Celtic Warrior was at the center of it all.

“So as far as a performer who wants to grow and be given more time and show what they can do in the ring, he kind of stifled a little bit, and I feel like that was the case. Was it a great experience? Did I learn a lot? Yeah. Do I think it could have gone a lot better? Yeah, but I think if you ask 98 of wrestlers that, I think they’ll probably give you the same answer.” (H/T RSN)

What is the Sheamus-WWE situation all about? A brief update

The Sheamus situation has taken many WWE fans off guard, but it’s perhaps less surprising in this new TKO era, where even longtime stars like Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are being made to leave after refusing to renegotiate their contracts to a lower rate.

From the look of things, this was the situation. According to reports on Fightful Select and the Wrestling Observer, this is a situation where TKO asked Sheamus to take a significant pay cut, and he said no.

This has reportedly led to a bit of anger and disillusion backstage, as the Irish star was one of the most beloved figures in the locker room. In the last decade, he entered a different stage of his career, which was the post-World Championship years. This is where he got a reputation for putting on banger after banger after banger.

There is no doubt that he will be missed as his contract is allowed to expire without any renewal. It seems like the mentality is that TKO pays good money to people who draw, and bad money to those who don’t.
