5 Times WWE Superstars apologized for hurting an opponent

#2 Drew McIntyre and Sheamus apologized to each other in WWE

Drew McIntyre and Sheamus have stood across wrestling rings from each other since their pre-WWE days in the United Kingdom and Ireland in the mid-2000s.

Known as two of the hardest-hitting superstars in modern-day WWE, the real-life friends competed in a series of one-on-one matches at the start of 2021. Their most notable match occurred at the Fastlane pay-per-view, where McIntyre won a 19-minute No Holds Barred encounter against the Irishman.

McIntyre revealed on Busted Open Radio that he and Sheamus watched the pre-match video package shortly before their entrances. During that moment, they agreed to “beat the living hell out of each other” and apologize later.

“Both of us saw it [pre-match video package] before the match and it was pretty emotional right before we walked to the ring. We said right before, 'We'll say sorry after.' We beat the living hell out of each other, said sorry after, laughed about it, and we're excited to do something together again,” McIntyre said. [H/T Fightful]

Sheamus’ Fastlane 2021 experience was documented from start to finish in a WWE Day Of video after the event. Cameras captured an emotional moment where The Celtic Warrior passionately claimed that his match against McIntyre should have been the WrestleMania 37 main event.
