The Celtic Warrior has been a staple of WWE programming since his debut in 2009. Some fans have been speculating whether he might follow in the footsteps of Ricochet, who left for AEW earlier this year. However, the answer is no.

According to a recent report from PWInsider, Sheamus and WWE are working closely to finalize a new deal that would see the veteran superstar remain with the company for at least another three to five years.

Sheamus was supposed to face three-time WWE Champion at WrestleMania 38

The Triple Threat Match for the Intercontinental Championship between Gunther, Drew McIntyre, and Sheamus was arguably the best match of WrestleMania 39.

McIntyre recently discussed that match in an interview with Chris Van Vliet. He stated that it was the best match of his career. He also mentioned that it was special because, during the match, he got the chance to wrestle Sheamus one-on-one for a while, as Gunther was temporarily out of the action.

McIntyre said it felt like the singles match he had always wanted with Sheamus, which was initially supposed to happen at WrestleMania a year earlier.

"That was cool. And the story for the match was cool as well, because eventually Gunther disappeared for a while, and Sheamus and I have always dreamed about our one-on-one match at WrestleMania. And we went back and forth for 10 straight minutes, claymores and brogues and hitting our bombs. It was like we're having that singles match. We forgot about Gunther, and at the right moment, he just reappears. Boom, steals it, heads out. So that was cool as well that Sheamus and I kind of got a one-on-one match at Mania we should have had the year prior," McIntyre said.
