JD McDonagh has posted a cryptic farewell message to Sheamus on Instagram, sparking speculation about the status of the pair’s professional relationship. The short note read “Until the next one, Sheamo. Thanks for everything,” and left fans questioning whether the two have parted ways or whether it hints at a shift in McDonagh’s WWE future.
McDonagh, the ring name for Jordan Devlin, shared the message on his Instagram. The vague wording, with no additional context provided, fueled the online reaction.
Despite the tone of the post, there is no confirmation that McDonagh has left WWE. He remains an active WWE Superstar on the Raw side and is associated with The Judgment Day.
WWE’s official site currently has McDonagh booked for a match against Danhausen at Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 18, 2026, indicating he remains an active on-screen performer.
A July 2026 report noted that McDonagh announced time away from the ring following surgery, with the athlete focusing on recovery. That timeline offers possible context for the farewell message, though the post itself does not specify what it refers to.
McDonagh has stayed visible online in recent months, including poking fun at Liv Morgan on Instagram. He has also been at the center of Judgment Day storyline drama, previously blaming Finn Balor for a Judgment Day attack before urging the group to end its infighting after his return.
McDonagh recently underwent wrist surgery, which lines up with the reported recovery period. For now, the meaning behind the Sheamus message remains unclear, and WWE has not addressed it.
