Top 5 WWE Superstars who turned on their best friends for championships

#1. Sheamus turned on Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship

Sheamus and Drew McIntyre on WWE RAW

The relationship between Sheamus and Drew McIntyre is the latest casualty of championship aspirations in WWE. Both men had made it clear throughout their time together on RAW that they had been friends for many years. The two stars have travelled the world together, and they've separately achieved a lot of success in WWE.

Sheamus had supported McIntyre, but the writing has been on the wall. When the Irish star cost the WWE Champion a match a few weeks ago, the two men brawled backstage. The two men moved on from this conflict, but it was still clear that Sheamus would turn on McIntyre at some point.

Sheamus' desire to become WWE Champion was too strong to overcome. The former world champion hit his best friend with a Brogue Kick before he made it clear that he wants a shot at the title.

Sheamus has been added to the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match. In this bout, hewill have to overcome McIntyre, AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, The Miz, and Randy Orton if he wishes to hold the WWE Championship again.
