Sheamus was reportedly not happy with how WWE was booking him

According to a report by Ibou on Self Made Sessions, The Celtic Warrior was less than happy with how he was being handled by the Stamford-based promotion.

Ibou claimed that Sheamus expected a bigger feud between him and Bron Breakker. He said:

“I was told that Sheamus gave up on WWE creative when Mania 40 wasn’t him chasing the IC title. He was of the belief that there was going to be something with him and Bron (Breakker) for Mania 41 IC belt, and they ended up doing that in early January and kind of moving past it. Then he was kind of just taken off TV for no reason,” he said.

He further added that Sheamus had not exactly requested his release, instead choosing to let time do its thing. He said:

“But it wasn’t like one of those things where he knew that and went, ‘I want my release.’ It was just like, ‘Okay, I now mentally accept this is what it is now and creative sucks, but like have fun,”‘ he added.

As of now, Sheamus’s future in the pro wrestling industry remains a mystery. It remains to be seen if he will decide to join other promotions like AEW in the coming months.
