In 2024, it was announced that Sheamus had officially signed a contract extension with WWE. While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Sheamus revealed how long his deal is for…

“I signed a new five year deal. It just started about two months ago. I’m loving it. The channel hit a million. A lot of great men and women, WWE superstars have given their own time as well to make that happen. So that’s not something where I go I got a million followers. Again, the channel wouldn’t happen only for a lot of the talents were so gracious with their time, and they were so nice about it, because they weren’t getting any money. They’re just on Saturday. You’re on the loop, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, whatever. They’d have a Saturday morning off to get dinner, go to gym, and I’m dragging them into a Celtic Warrior Workout. And they gave their time graciously. So definitely, thanks to all every single person who’s been on that channel, because every single one of them gave their own time, and it would not have happened without them giving their time to make the channel.”

Sheaumus also discussed how long he intends to keep wrestling…

“Not really. Again, I just signed a new five year deal. [So that’ll take you into your 50s?] Yeah, my wife reminds me all the time, 52. Listen, I’ll go to the wheels fall off me. Could do it until physically I can’t do it anymore. I love what I do, and listen, there’s plenty of time to sit back and read a book and just watch TV. I know a lot of people. I’ve talked to some talents as well, but we meet them all of Mania and everything when they come in, especially the Hall of Fame, but also everybody gets invited to Mania. You can tell a lot of the talents who just retired too early. I mean, look, if I had to hang on my boots when that stuff happened with my neck, I’d be at peace with it. Because sometimes you can tell that when they have retired before their time there is a little bit of regret there.” (quotes courtesy of ChrisVanVliet.com)
