Sheamus has now said goodbye to WWE, and the message makes it look like his run with the company is finished.
The former WWE Champion took to Twitter on July 10, 2026, and posted a long reference to his “banger after banger” catchphrase before ending it with a broken-heart emoji and a sad face. Sheamus then added an Irish farewell to his WWE friends, which translates to “goodbye, my WWE friends.”
“Banger after Banger after Banger after Banger after Banger after Banger after Banger after Banger after Banger after Banger after Banger after Banger after Banger after Burger after Banger after Banger after Banger after 💔😔
slán mo WWE chairde 👋🏻
S. Farrelly”
The farewell comes after Sheamus’ WWE future became tied to contract and salary issues. It was previously learned that an unnamed high-level member of the WWE office went to TKO and pushed for the company to recognize the value Sheamus still brought to the roster. That internal support was not enough to keep him around.
A person close to Sheamus also believed he would consider wrestling for AEW, including on a short-term agreement, if the right opportunity came along. Nothing has been confirmed with AEW, but his public goodbye now makes the free-agent discussion much more real.
Sheamus spent nearly two decades with WWE and built a Hall of Fame-level résumé that included multiple world championships, a Royal Rumble victory, King of the Ring and Money in the Bank.
His latest message does not read like a wrestler trying to pressure WWE into a better deal. It reads like someone who has accepted that the run is over and is saying goodbye to the people he spent most of his career working beside.
Where do you think Sheamus should wrestle next after apparently closing the door on WWE? Leave your feedback in the comments.
