Matt Hardy Talks Sheamus Potentially Going to AEW: "It's [All Elite] Got a Huge Bloated Roster that Doesn't Use Everybody"
A WWE executive reportedly argued for Sheamus during talks with TKO as AEW weighs whether to add more former WWE stars.
- The 48-year-old wrestler Sheamus is departing WWE after "swiftly rejecting" a restructured contract offer presented while he was sidelined with an injury.
- Before his exit, an unnamed high-level WWE office executive "went to bat" for the former world champion during discussions with parent company TKO, though the effort failed to secure retention.
- Sheamus will soon hit free agency for the first time in nearly 20 years, expected to garner heavy industry interest despite concerns about influx of former WWE talent elsewhere.
- TNA Tag Team Champion Matt Hardy suggested AEW's "bloated roster" might limit opportunities, while TNA operates under a strict budget that could still feature Sheamus prominently.
- Wrestling Observer Live's Bryan Alvarez noted that not everyone within AEW is enthusiastic about adding more former WWE names, complicating Sheamus's path to All Elite.
