It wasn\u2019t made clear exactly when that will be but fans have noticed that at some point during the evening, he was moved to the Alumni section of WWE.com. He also changed his name on Twitter to S. Farrelly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Wrestling Observer has stated this is identical to the situation The New Day were in, where they were offered restructured deals and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagesideseats.com\/wwe\/439530\/the-new-day-speak-leaving-wwe-xavier-woods-kofi-kingston\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">turned it down<\/a>. Dave Meltzer gave no indication on his possibly signing with AEW, simply saying \u201cit will be interesting\u201d to see if they do sign him. He also said he assumes some of the pending free agents later this month \u2014 New Day, Alesiter Black, Zoey Stark, etc \u2014 will end up in AEW but not all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">To wrap it up on at least something of a good note, WrestleVotes made sure to say Sheamus is \u201cone of the most, if not THE most respected talents in today\u2019s locker room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other rumors floating around<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let\u2019s start the week strong.
