Fresh developments have surfaced regarding AEW’s potential interest in Sheamus following his recent departure from WWE.
Sheamus officially parted ways with WWE earlier this year, entering his mandatory 90-day notice period. Now that this window has closed, speculation is growing about his next career move, with AEW emerging as a likely destination.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, AEW is expected to express interest in signing Sheamus to a full-time deal. However, the report clarifies that no formal discussions have taken place between the promotion and the veteran superstar at this time. A source close to AEW confirmed that several roster members are enthusiastic about Sheamus joining their ranks. Despite the momentum behind the rumors, no timeline has been established for a potential AEW arrival.
Sheamus brings a wealth of experience to the table, having been a multi-time champion during his tenure in AEW. His exit from the company earlier this year came as a surprise to many fans and industry observers. This follows a similar pattern seen with other WWE alumni this year, including Kofi Kingston (Austin Creed) and Xavier Woods, who also left WWE after being asked to accept significant pay cuts. Recent AEW signings include Kofi, Creed, and The Motor City Machine Guns, while Ilja Dragunov has also reportedly joined the promotion, though he has yet to make his television debut.
