Tensions between WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and Sheamus briefly rose after they lost a two-on-three handicap match on last night’s episode of Raw.
McIntyre and his TLC challenger AJ Styles were on opposite sides of last night’s handicap match. Styles, The Miz & John Morrison got the win after Sheamus accidentally hit a Brogue Kick on his friend McIntyre. He was trying to hit Morrison, but Morrison moved out of the way and Sheamus hit McIntyre. Sheamus was briefly distracted by that and then turned around into a Phenomenal Forearm from Styles. Styles pinned Sheamus to get the win.
Backstage after the match, Sheamus was interviewed and insisted that the Brogue Kick wasn’t intentional. Sheamus said he knew McIntyre was going to come try and kick his ass. McIntyre appeared and they brawled until Pat Buck attempted to separate them. McIntyre and Sheamus then teamed together to beat up Buck and put him through a table. McIntyre smiled and asked Sheamus if he wanted to go get pints. Sheamus agreed but said McIntyre would be buying this time.
