Sheamus Comments on His WWE Departure

Sheamus opens up about his WWE exit.

As noted previously, the former WWE Champion exited the company earlier this month after allegedly refusing to accept a restructured deal.

Speaking to Adam’s Apple recently, Sheamus commented on his WWE departure, stating that some circumstances came up that he can’t mention in public. The WWE veteran is making the most of his free time, spending time with his family and friends, something he couldn’t during his nearly two-decade-long stint.

Here’s what he said:

“I’m just enjoying my time off. I’m having a good time. I’m bringing the missus over to Paris and going back to Dublin to see my family. I’m enjoying my workouts. I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m just in a really 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 2007, so I haven’t really had the luxury to go home, see my family, and see my friends. The last couple weeks now, I’ve had a chance to kind of restructure that and get back and catch up on birthdays and missed opportunities. I’ve 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.”
