The report indicates he was approached about a restructured deal while he was out with an injury and he rejected the offer they made. Because his contract is expiring, he won’t have the standard 90-day non compete clause. He’ll be able to sign anywhere as a free agent immediately. It’s hard telling how much time the Irish star has left in his career, considering he just turned 48-years-old this year and has been battling through injuries time and time again. He’s still in great shape and keeps himself sharp as a tack, so if he decides to continue on, there’s absolutely still meat on the bone there. This also means Sheamus leaves WWE without ever having won the Intercontinental championship. That elusive Grand Slam may never come to be after all. Where to next?
