In a year when WWE signed many talents to its roster, it faced challenges in retaining others.

Becky Lynch stepped away from the company for an indefinite hiatus without any intention of joining another wrestling promotion despite being a top star for many years. Meanwhile, Ricochet left WWE to join AEW to showcase his skills on a different platform.

However, notable names that have signed new deals with WWE include Asuka, Seth Rollins, Shayna Baszler, Drew McIntyre, Humberto Carrillo, Angel Garza, and Damian Priest.

Pwinsider is reporting that WWE is close to finalizing a new contract with Sheamus, aiming to secure him for the long term.

According to the report, Sheamus’ deal is either up or will be soon. The prevailing belief within WWE is that The Celtic Warrior will remain with the company for another three to five years.
