Latest On AEW Signing Sheamus

On the back of a surprise exit from WWE earlier this year, Sheamus is now a free agent in the professional wrestling world, which has expectedly sparked conversation of a potential move over to AEW, following in the footsteps of many who have departed WWE for a fresh start. 

Over the last few months, reports have emerged that AEW were interested in bringing in Sheamus, with the multi-time world champion also reportedly interested in joining the promotion, though a recent update suggests that there is no urgency on this front. When answering a question regarding Sheamus in a Q&A on Fightful Select, Sean Ross Sapp noted that there was seemingly little urgency in making it happen, even with veteran names in AEW pushing for him to be signed. It is explained that Sheamus has in fact had talks with other promotions, though it isn’t known if he’s entered any conversations with AEW.

It was revealed in recent weeks that Sheamus had been in talks with TNA, with the company hoping to have him appear at the Bound For Glory PLE, though this ultimately did not happen.
