Jim Ross wants former WWE star to re-form tag team in AEW

Posted: Jul 14th 2026 By: Jake Skudder

AEW commentator and longtime WWE name Jim Ross recently discussed Sheamus and his release from WWE, saying that he wants to see the Irish star in All Elite Wrestling.

Speaking on his Grilling Jr podcast, JR said that Sheamus has a lot left to give in terms of in-ring, and he’d like to see the tag team with Claudio Castagnoli re-formed:

“Well, I think putting him back together with Cesaro is a good thing. If that happens, it’ll create a real strong team, to make your tag team division stronger. He’s a hell of a good hand, he really is. He’s a good hand and he’s a good guy. Uh, I don’t know why you’d have any issues of bringing him back into the fold.

He’s a, he’s a team player. He’s big [and] physical. I think a combination of he and Cesaro, [would] interest interest me a great deal. It’s one of those time will tell deals, which is not a bad thing, it keeps you tuned in. I hope that he lands on his feet wherever he goes, but I’d like personally [for him to come to AEW], because then I’m maybe able to call some of his matches again someday.”

Ross would add that he thinks Sheamus still has a lot left in the tank and is still able to go even at 48-years-old and having an extensive history of injury issues:

“I hope that he signs with AEW on some sort of contract, even if it’s a limited engagement contract where he’s not working every single time the lights come on, he’s there. I’m looking forward to seeing where he lands. He’s got lots of gas left in the tank.“
