When did Sheamus realize that WWE’s bad creative had nothing for him? Let’s see what today’s rumors have to say about it!
According to WrestleVotes Radio, someone who ranks high up in WWE “went to bat” for Sheamus to explain his value to TKO, which included outside-of-the-ring factors. That approach was apparently not successful, as the main reason why he’s gone from WWE now is over financial terms.
For whatever it’s worth, Ibou of Self Made Sessions was told that Sheamus “gave up on WWE creative” during the build to WrestleMania 41 when they didn’t follow through on a plan for him to chase Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental championship. It was around that same time when Sheamus, New Day, and “a number of other veterans” realized things changed for the worse in WWE in the Netflix era in terms of their usage, as well as a lack of communication with Triple H and the office.
Despite his belief that “creative was cooked,” Sheamus planned to ride it out as long as the money remained the same. That’s why he pushed to work with Rusev, with the goal of eventually tagging with him.
Fast forward to today, and it sounds like the Celtic Warrior is open to working for AEW if the right situation presents itself, even if that is on a short-term basis.
While there is a feeling among AEW talent that the roster is already too big and there isn’t enough TV time to go around for Sheamus, there is some speculation that Tony Khan could “help facilitate Sheamus working with their talent outside of AEW to garner attention for himself.” That could mean Claudio Castagnoli and Sheamus reuniting as The Bar in CMLL, for example.
