While appearing on the latest episode of Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Sheamus spoke about his future with WWE.
Sheamus has found a ton of success while in WWE, holding countless championships, except for one that he still chases. After being with WWE for the last 15 years, Sheamus has never held the Intercontinental Championship, a title that is currently held by Bron Breakker.
For Sheamus, he doesn’t give much thought to how long he will wrestle. With a new deal in place, he’s looking to be on the ride of pro wrestling until he can’t any longer.
“Not really. Again, I just signed a new five-year deal. 50….My wife reminds me all the time, [ 52. Is it 52? [the deal will take me until I’m] Listen, I’ll go until the wheels fall off me. I 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’ve talked to some talent as well. You meet them all at 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. If I had to hang up my boots when that stuff happened with my neck [injury], I’d be at peace with it, right? Because you know there’s nothing you could do. But when some talent that retired before their time, you can tell there’s a bit of regret there.”
