Almost No More: Sheamus Reveals How Close He Came To Retiring Earlier This Year

What could have been. Retirement is a tricky situation in wrestling as you never know when a wrestler is going to hang up their boots for good. There is always the chance that a wrestler could be taken out of the ring before they are ready to go and that can lead to some tough questions. Now it seems that a recently returned WWE Superstar did not know when he was going to have to retire.

Earlier this week on Monday Night Raw, Sheamus made his return to the ring for the first time in eight months, defeating Ivar. In a new post on Instagram, Sheamus revealed that he was fearing retirement two months ago, only to have his career saved by a team of doctors, trainers and physios. Sheamus, 46 years old, has not given a date when he is expecting to retire.

Sheamus is a heck of a force to have back. Check out what he has done in WWE:

Opinion: It’s great to have Sheamus back and now we get to see what he is going to be able to do after quite the lengthy absence. I’m not surprised that he was looking at retirement as he is in his mid 40s and had been out of action for such a long time. Hopefully Sheamus can continue his rather strong streak, as he was doing very well before he was put on the shelf.
