As the year 2023 came to an end, WWE released their list of winners who had the most influence on fans in their respective ways. While Cody Rhodes won the title of the Male Superstar of the Year 2023, another star won the title of the Match of the Year 2023 for putting up a spectacular performance. While the star’s future at WWE is questionable, he provided fans with a sliver of hope in a recent tweet.

Is the former WWE Champion here to stay?

The star in question is WWE’s Celtic Warrior, Sheamus. According to WWE, the star deserved the title of the match of the year along with Gunther and Drew McIntyre for their triple threat Intercontinental title match at WrestleMania 39. Following this news, he posted a tweet on X (formerly Twitter) celebrating and hinting at a possible future win.

This was the second consecutive time he had won the title. However, the chances of him winning the title in 2024 might be slim. The reason is that the star’s contract is set to expire in early 2024. Apart from that, there are no updates on whether WWE will be renewing his contract. But this tweet might be a hint that the two parties might be in talks right now.

According to a report, his contract will expire in the first three to six months of 2024. The reason why the exact date is unknown is because pro wrestling contracts are full of multiple clauses thus pointing to a specific date is difficult.

Apart from that, Sheamus’s return might be in shambles especially due to his internal relationship with WWE.

Will Sheamus return to WWE?

Fans could agree with the fact that pro wrestling has some elements of creativity. This oftentimes becomes something that leads to frustrations amongst the stars. Sheamus fell prey to such frustrations too. It has been mainly due to how his character is shown in the promotion. Sheamus as a character has been someone who is ruthless and impulsive.

The Celtic Warrior has stated in interviews that he has put a lot of organic effort into developing his character. He wanted his character to be more than just an impulsive brute. However, he felt that his efforts were in vain as he felt he had reached a roadblock in terms of character development. Due to the inability to overcome his established character, he has been frustrated. However, only time will tell whether Sheamus will continue being a part of the roster. Do you think Sheamus will give a match of the year to his fans in 2024 before he leaves the company?
