Highlights

  • Sheamus teases WWE return ahead of WrestleMania 40, igniting speculation about his future and contract status.
  • Fans await confirmation of Sheamus's return after his absence due to a shoulder injury and looming contract expiration.
  • The wrestling community debates whether Sheamus will stay with WWE or move to AEW, as he hints at a comeback.

The long-term future of seasoned WWE star Sheamus is shrouded in uncertainty. However, fans might have gotten a bit of a teaser on Tuesday when it comes to his short-term future. Specifically, it looks like Sheamus is teasing a return, and just in time for WrestleMania 40.

The 45-year-old, a stalwart in the WWE since his debut in 2009, has been notably absent from the ring, reportedly nursing a severe shoulder injury. However, neither Sheamus nor the WWE has officially confirmed the details of the injury. But on Tuesday, he posted on social media, "Anyone missing 5-star banger matches?" He then posted hashtags to some of his most memorable clashes. The belief here is that he might be close to returning.

Adding a layer of intrigue to the situation is the speculation that Sheamus's contract with WWE is set to expire this year. Fightful Select reported that his contract was coming due in 2024 and that ignited discussions within the wrestling community about Sheamus's next move. When factoring in the fact he was vocal about certain aspects of his WWE tenure, some wondered if he might be reaching the end of his relationship with the company. But, this tease of a return might also suggest a development on the contract front.

While the prospect of Sheamus jumping ship to AEW remains speculative, the wrestling world awaits his official return.

What Would WWE Have Sheamus Do?

Interestingly, the Brawling Brutes is no more. Pete Dunne has gone a different direction and Ridge Holland hasn't been used much outside of NXT. That would leave Sheamus to return as a singles wrestler.
