Sheamus Shares Gym Photos After Leaving WWE
Sheamus shared photos and video of his gym training on Instagram after leaving WWE.
The former wrestler, who now goes by S. Farrelly, was shown lifting 120-pound weights while doing seated shoulder shrugs.
Former WWE colleagues including CM Punk and Bayley responded in the comments, and Bayley said she missed him.
Some fans said they hope he joins AEW, but there had been no discussions with AEW as of October 1, according to a cited report.
His last match was in November, when he teamed with John Cena and Rey Mysterio to beat Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh and Finn Balor.
A shoulder injury forced him out of a tournament after he beat Shinsuke Nakamura that month.
The sources do not say whether or when Sheamus will return to wrestling.

What people are saying
There doesn’t seem to be a huge urgency in bringing him in, but there are some heavy hitters like Claudio Castagnoli and Adam Copeland that have made it clear that they would like him there. Sheamus has had talks with other companies. I don’t know if he’s had direct talks with All Elite Wrestling, but nothing seems imminent,
