Sheamus has commented on his WWE departure.

Former four-time WWE World Champion Sheamus recently announced his exit after nearly two decades with the company. He decided to leave after the promotion reportedly offered him a restructured deal, which included a significant pay cut. His departure came after Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods left due to the same reason.

Reports also indicated that a high-ranking WWE official advocated for keeping Sheamus in the company and urged TKO to retain him. Now, the Celtic Warrior has broken his silence about his departure, but didn’t go into any details.

Sheamus says ‘some circumstances’ contributed to his WWE exit

Speaking to New York-based street journalist Adam Glyn, Sheamus noted that he’s enjoying the time off, spending some quality time with his family and friends. However, when asked about what led to his release, the former WWE Champion said some circumstances contributed to it, but said he can’t talk about them.

When asked if he’s done with wrestling or if he’s looking to continue, Sheamus said, “I’m just enjoying my time off. I’m having a good time. I’m bringing the Mrs over to Paris and going back to Dublin to see the family, enjoying my workouts. I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life, and, yeah, I’m really in a good place. It’s been awesome.

“Some circumstances came up. I can’t really talk about it, obviously, but 19 years is a long time, and a good crack. I left Ireland in 07, so I haven’t really had the luxury to go home and see my family and see my friends, and the last couple of weeks, I’ve had a chance to restructure that and get back and catch up on birthdays and missed opportunities. I got a nephew and niece back home, Theo and Sophia. Love the kids, and I get to see them more now. They’re awesome. Six and four,” Sheamus said.
