According to a new backstage report, Sheamus is expected to leave WWE once his current contract expires.
It is worth noting that Sheamus was not released by WWE. Instead, the veteran reportedly declined a contract extension that was offered while he was sidelined with an injury.
The report states that WWE approached Sheamus about signing a restructured deal during his time away from the ring, but he quickly turned it down.
Because his existing contract was already scheduled to expire within a matter of months, there was reportedly no reason for WWE to pursue a release that would have included the standard 90-day non-compete clause.
While an exact expiration date has not been confirmed, the report indicates that Sheamus’ current WWE deal is expected to end in the near future.
