Ricochet has weighed in on the recent speculation linking Sheamus and The New Day to AEW, doing so in his trademark tongue-in-cheek fashion.
Over the weekend, reports surfaced indicating that Sheamus is expected to leave WWE after his contract expires, with reports noting that he declined a restructured contract extension.
Following the rumors, Ricochet took to X to jokingly dismiss the idea of Sheamus—or Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods—joining him in AEW.
“Everyone, listen. Neither New Day or Sheamo is coming to @AEW.
FOR 1. I’d kick Kofi and Creed’s ass in @Tekken. They know that.
And 2, I’d simply just kick Sheamus’ ass. Its easy.
Don’t get your hopes up. 👑👌🏽 #Ahaa”
At this time, there has been no indication that Sheamus or The New Day are AEW-bound, and Ricochet’s comments were made in a humorous manner rather than as a statement about their contractual status.
