An eye-catching Intercontinental Championship bout took place at WrestleMania 39. A war had been raging between old friends Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. The two were feuding to claim the Intercontinental Title of WWE. Due to the dominating nature of the current champion, Gunther, there was little room to maneuver a path to victory. The Austrian wrestler retained his position but not without putting up an interesting match.
No fan could divert their attention away from the match. The passion in the moves of all three wrestlers was visible. The two friends had valid personal reasons to win the title. While Sheamus was trying to win the only title he had not won in WWE, McIntyre was trying to complete a whole circle out of his WWE career. However, little did fans realize that this competition will ultimately lead to a beautiful moment.

After both, wrestlers lost the most important match of their performance year, fans expected the hate to grow stronger. However, that was not the case at all. What WWE did not broadcast from the live event was how the two friends hugged it out after their match.
This could be a farewell gift from Sheamus to McIntyre, as the Scottish wrestler’s contract with WWE is over. So, there are speculations that the latter might be joining some other promotion or retiring from wrestling altogether. Looking at the picture, fans couldn’t help but adore the sight.
this shit was beautiful live man
