Sheamus is reportedly set to depart WWE once his contract concludes. While the exact timeline for his departure has not been specified, fans have observed that the veteran wrestler has been moved to the Alumni section of WWE.com. Additionally, he has altered his Twitter username to S. Farrelly.
This situation has been compared to that of The New Day, who were reportedly offered restructured deals and declined them. 's Dave Meltzer has not indicated whether Sheamus might sign with AEW, stating only that "it will be interesting" to see if any promotions pursue him. Meltzer also assumes that some pending free agents later this month, including New Day, Aleister Black, and Zoey Stark, will end up in AEW, though not all of them.
WrestleVotes made sure to say Sheamus is “one of the most, if not THE most respected talents in today’s locker room.”
In other wrestling rumors, Sami Zayn was reportedly not part of WWE's original plan for SummerSlam. The Bloodline storyline is said to be ongoing, and Road Dogg is rumored to be involved with TNA. Further speculation includes the idea that WWE may be punishing independent promotions featured on AEW's new streaming service, with input from Cody Rhodes. WWE is said to have a large two-night plan for SummerSlam this year, and there are also rumors surrounding WWE's long-term strategy with Brock Lesnar and the secrecy around Sami Zayn's title win.
