"Dry your tears" - Sheamus calls out Drew McIntyre after RAW betrayal

On this week's RAW, multiple-time tag team champion Sheamus finally turned on his friend Drew McIntyre.

He surprised him with a shock Brogue Kick after McIntyre and Edge shared the ring to discuss this weekend's Royal Rumble. Edge warned McIntyre that he might challenge him for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 37.

Later in the show, Sheamus declared that he wanted the WWE Championship and that his friendship with Drew McIntyre was over. That same night, Drew McIntyre granted Sheamus a match for the coveted WWE title.

Today, Sheamus has taken to social media to target his new rival once more. He described their future title match as a "Clash of Nations," referring to his Irish heritage and Drew McIntyre being from Scotland.

Dry your tears. A Clash of Nations bigger than any friendship is... inevitable. 20 years of brotherhood in combat was always leading to this moment. Be prepared. The Brogue is battle proven far superior to The Claymore. So dig deeper... history is written by the victor. 🇮🇪⚔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 pic.twitter.com/kSjjgOuvHM
