47-Year-old WWE Star Sets Major Condition For Retirement

With some of their peers retiring from wrestling, a 47-year-old star has made their stand clear about stepping away.

Since signing a contract with WWE in 2006, Sheamus has been a loyalist and is still kicking with the young talent on the roster.

The Celtic Warrior is a four-time World Champion and has only the Intercontinental Championship left to win in order to become a Grand Slam Champion.

He is currently involved in a feud with The Judgment Day.

Sheamus was previously in a brutal feud with Rusev, which culminated in multiple matches between them and ended at Clash in Paris.

Speaking on the latest RAW Recap podcast, he clarified that he was nowhere close to retiring and revealed the one reason that will force him to end his professional wrestling career.

I think it’s the intensity that’s something that I’ve always leaned into, and that’s really what sets me apart. I feel like that’s why I’m still in the game. You know, people talk about John Cena retiring, and I think he’s like a year older than me, and I feel like I’m just getting started. Last week, I was in there with JD [McDonagh], man, and just ripping it up.

The day I don’t go out there and give 100% or give it everything that I possibly have every single match—I don’t care if it’s RAW, SmackDown, NXT, or if it’s Main Event that they tape before the show—I won’t go out there and not give everything I have in every single match, and especially with my neck.

Sheamus Added To The Last Time Is Now Tournament On WWE RAW

Since returning to WWE RAW last month, Sheamus has looked like a man on a mission.

His match with JD McDonagh last week took a gnarly turn when Finn Balor hit him with a shillelagh, leading to his loss.

On the November 3 taping of the red brand, the 47-year-old made his presence felt during the tag team match between AJ Styles/Dragon Lee and The Judgment Day.

In the episode, he was also revealed as one of the participants in “The Last Time is Now” tournament, which was announced at Saturday Night’s Main Event XLI.

16 men will compete in it, with the winner earning the rights to challenge John Cena in his last match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event XLII on December 13.

On next week’s WWE RAW, Sheamus will face Shinsuke Nakamura. In the other match, Rusev will challenge Damian Priest.
