Sheamus’ Agent Reacts To Reports About Departing WWE Star Possibly Joining AEW

Sheamus turned down an extension and WWE tried to restructure his deal, while reports say AEW interest is growing and no 90-day non-compete applies.

  • On Sunday, reports confirmed that Sheamus is preparing to leave WWE after nearly 20 years with the company. The former WWE World Champion has been moved to the organization's alumni section.
  • Sheamus turned down a contract extension and rejected WWE's restructuring attempts while recovering from injury. He was not released, as his original agreement was not set to expire until 2029.
  • Head of The Sports Group Nick LoPiccolo addressed AEW interest rumors on Twitter yesterday regarding the former WWE World Champion. LoPiccolo noted he has been blocked by AEW's social media accounts without explanation.
  • Without a 90-day non-compete clause, Sheamus is immediately eligible to join another promotion. His contract was set to expire within months anyway, eliminating any waiting period.
  • Claudio Castagnoli is expected to push for AEW to sign Sheamus, his former tag team partner, as industry observers monitor the potential move. The wrestler's future destination remains uncertain amid competing interest.
