WWE Superstars Cesaro and Rusev have rubbished reports claiming Irish wrestling legend Sheamus is set to retire.
Cesaro has spent the last three years in a tag team with the 'Celtic Warrior', while Rusev is one of the 41-year-old's closest friends outside of the ring.
And both men shut down reports that the four-time World Champion is set to hang up his boots.
Former United States champion Rusev scoffed at the notion when asked, saying: "Retirement? He's in the best shape of his life!
"He's almost down to 205 pounds [the weight limit for WWE's Cruiserweight Division]. He's about 230 or whatever.
"He's in the best shape of his life and he lives eight houses down from us so I see him every day. Our dogs play with each other.
"He's fine, he's nowhere near the end of his career, he may be forty years-old but who cares?"
And this was doubled down on by women's division competitor Lana, who added: "I just did my first workout with him for his 'Celtic Warrior Workouts' YouTube channel."
When asked to offer a health update on his ex-tag team partner, Cesaro said: "I have no clue about a return date, but I know that he's doing great.
"I know he just built a home gym that he had painted orange like a real 'Celtic Warrior', so he's making the most out of his time [off]. He's one of the hardest workers I know.
"You should check his YouTube channel for updates because he'll let everyone know once he himself knows what's up."
