While he took it in stride and didn’t let it affect him, tonight’s episode of WWE RAW revealed another side of the story.

Sheamus was humiliated online after returning to WWE RAW due to his clear weight gain. Fans quickly noticed that the Celtic warrior was no longer cut, and this was brought up in his segment tonight.

Sheamus came out to talk some sense into Drew McIntyre. While trying to explain what good days the duo enjoyed in the past, the Scotsman taunted the man across the ring. The Scottish Warrior took Sheamus’ banger after banger line and turned it into “Since you came back it looks to me it’s been burger after burger after burger after burger!”.” While Sheamus shrugged it off, McIntyre claimed the boys used the burger line in the locker room along with ginger Pillsbury dough boy. Sheamus claimed that these names do not affect him.

Despite McIntyre saying what he did to Sheamus, he made it clear that he was still in the mood to be friends. The Scottish Psychopath stayed by ringside as the Celtic Warrior faced Nakamura. Furthermore, he applauded when the Irishman picked up the win. While nothing is said about the two men and their future, it is clear that there might be a match somewhere in the future, as McIntyre has faced all those who tried to talk to him. Nevertheless, the duo has a powerful bond in real life.

Sheamus and Drew McIntyre have one of the strongest friendships in WWE. A friendship that dates back over two decades, thanks to their love for pro wrestling. Their connection goes beyond the squared circle; they consider each other brothers.

McIntyre even holds the prestigious title of Sheamus’s best man at his wedding. This camaraderie translates into their on-screen dynamic, which was on full display tonight on RAW. As the Scotsman dropped the burger line, Sheamus may have broken character and chuckled for real. There are no hard feelings between the two stars. We could see the two-part take in a short feud ahead of Backlash or a team-up in the future. What did you think about the segment? Tell us your thoughts in the comments.
