“He’s Always Been Such a Big Brother” – Drew McIntyre Credits Sheamus for Supporting Him When He Was Fired

WWE Superstars might be rivals inside the ring but backstage, they are good friends, great colleagues, and amazing individuals! This is the story of Drew McIntyre and Sheamus.

McIntyre and Sheamus have been friends for a long time. In fact, ‘The Scottish Warrior’ credited Sheamus for making his life much easier when he was struggling.

“I’ve known Sheamus forever. He’s my oldest friend in wrestling,” McIntyre said. “I met him when I was 19 years old and he was only about 42 years old at the time [laughs]. It was very clear from the beginning that we had very similar goals. We weren’t just content being the top superstars in Europe, we [wanted to] be the guys who go to WWE.”

“He was there during all the good times and obviously all the bad times and I wouldn’t have gotten through a lot of them without him being there for me,” McIntyre continued. “I literally lived in his house at one point. That’s where we were at, at that point in my life. When I was fired and was still trying to find myself, I was living there and he was looking out for me. He’s always been such a big brother for me” H/t Busted Open.

Drew McIntyre and Sheamus have had feuds and rivalries, even among themselves. However, they remain great friends backstage.
