An AEW star has cast doubt on speculation linking Sheamus with a move to AEW once the veteran’s WWE contract expires.
Sheamus is reportedly set to become a free agent when his current WWE deal expires in October after turning down a restructured contract that would have significantly reduced his salary.
Responding to the speculation on social media, Brian Cage shared footage of himself delivering a pump kick during AEW Collision and suggested fans should not expect to see Sheamus arrive in AEW.

Brian Cage’s comments come amid reports that some within AEW are not in favour of signing the former WWE Champion. With a large roster already competing for television time across AEW and Ring of Honor, there is believed to be concern that adding another established veteran would make it even more difficult for existing talent to secure regular appearances.
Sheamus has been with WWE since 2007 and has enjoyed one of the most decorated careers of his generation. A former WWE Champion, World Heavyweight Champion, United States Champion and multiple-time Tag Team Champion, he is also one of the few stars to have won the Royal Rumble, Money in the Bank and the King of the Ring tournament.
