Alors que Sheamus vient de décider la WWE pour des considérations salariales, il ne recevrait pas nécessairement un accueil très chaleureux dans les coulisses de la AEW.
Bryan Alvarez a mentionné, à Wrestling Observer Live, que des lutteurs de la AEW ne sont pas enthousiastes face à l’idée que Sheamus joigne la compagnie.
Ce n’est rien de personnel, mais on croit qu’il y a déjà trop de lutteurs et que Sheamus enlèverait du temps d’antenne à certains d’entre eux.
“I did talk to a lot of people today in AEW who were like, ‘Are we really going to take this guy?’ Let me make this abundantly clear, everybody I talked to to a person was like, ‘I really like Sheamus. I really like him,’ but the basic gist of it is like there are so many people under contract and there’s so many people that already can’t even get on TV, and we’re gonna hire another 48-year-old? Like, everyone’s got ideas like Sheamus and Cesaro, being in the Death Riders. Nobody had anything against Sheamus personally. It was just sort of like, ‘Here comes another one,’ because The New Day’s probably coming, then Sheamus would be coming in, and that’s three more slots that people who have been there for a long time, or should be on the way up, or who should be younger, they’re going to be iced out again. People weren’t really thrilled about that idea.”
