It was reported on July 5 that Sheamus would be leaving WWE when his contract expired. When reportedly presented with a restructured contract at reduced pay, Sheamus chose to enter free agency.

JD McDonagh reacts to Sheamus leaving WWE
JD McDonagh (real name Jordan Devlin) has now publicly reacted to Sheamus leaving the company. The fellow Irishman posted on Instagram: “Until the next one, Sheamo. Thanks for everything.“
Although McDonagh and Sheamus are both from Ireland, their independent careers took place in very different eras. Sheamus was a fixture in Irish Whip Wrestling from 2004 to 2006, whereas McDonagh was active on the Irish indies from 2006 to around 2019 (with some sporadic appearances in OTT after) for OTT and Fight Factory Pro before getting more bookings in the UK for the likes of PROGRESS, Rev Pro, Fight Club Pro, ICW and RIPTIDE in Brighton.
Both Sheamo and McDonagh are big Liverpool fans (there’s a lot of Irish Liverpool fans) and McDonagh posted an image of he and Sheamus at a game drinking Guinness:
