There’s a growing belief among fans that Sheamus, a former four-time champion in WWE, may be considering a switch to AEW.
Recent activity on his social media accounts has sparked discussions about his future in the wrestling industry and a potential signing with Tony Khan’s promotion.
Sheamus has been absent from WWE programming for almost eight months, with his last match taking place on August 18, 2023, against his close friend Adam Copeland (formerly known as Edge) on WWE SmackDown.
With Sheamus’s WWE contract reportedly nearing its end and no news of a renewal, speculation about his departure has intensified.
The 46-year-old wrestler has previously expressed frustration over his creative direction within WWE, leading many fans to speculate about his potential move to AEW.
In response to a fan’s comment comparing storylines to five-star matches, Sheamus once suggested watching soap operas, indicating his desire for WWE to recognize his hard work and dedication.
In other wrestling news, former WWE star Shawn Spears made a surprising return to WWE NXT. Previously known as Tye Dillinger, Spears appeared unannounced during a recent episode of NXT, attacking Ridge Holland with a chair shot to the back.
Spears had initially left WWE to join AEW during its early days.
During his time in AEW, he engaged in a short-lived rivalry with Cody Rhodes, which included an incident where an unprotected chair shot inadvertently caused Rhodes a concussion, resulting in backstage criticism from Jon Moxley (formerly known as Dean Ambrose).
Now back in NXT, the wrestling world eagerly awaits how Shawn Spears will be utilized in his second stint with the company.
