Sheamus also talked about scrapped plans with another AEW star

During the same interview, the former WWE Champion talked about another major star with whom he wanted to get into a storyline until his sudden departure from the company.

Back in August 2023, Cope (fka Edge) competed in his final match in WWE against Sheamus. The Celtic Warrior revealed that they pitched a storyline between them but this was shut down. They instead focused on The Rated-R Superstar having his last match with the company with him. At the time, he had no clue that his contract was up, and he believed he was going to stay.

"We talked about it. I remember we talked about doing an angle or a storyline together for a while. We came up with a storyline, it was shot down for whatever reason. And then it just happened. I just got a call, I think it was because we did a promo the week before, and then we did the match the week after. Edge’s contract was coming up. I didn’t know. No one knew if he was going to stay or go. No one really knew. I didn’t know. I thought he was going to stay, because we’re talking doing something after that as well. But yeah, it was just a situation," Sheamus said.

He also revealed recently that he signed a new 5-year deal with the company. It remains to be seen if this is any indication that he does not plan on leaving the company till he retires, as this new contract will run until his 50s.
