At Fastlane, the fiends-turned enemies feud between Drew McIntyre and Sheamus appears to be finally coming to a close. The duo began their rivalry after this year's Royal Rumble when Sheamus decided to go after the WWE Championship, which McIntyre was holding at the time.

However, Sheamus never got the one-on-one WWE Championship match that he wanted with McIntyre. He was part of the Elimination Chamber match for the title, but was eliminated by AJ Styles following a Phenomenal Forearm. McIntyre lost the WWE Championship immediately after the match, when he was the victim of a beatdown by Bobby Lashley, and then The Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank contract.

The pair have faced one another since on RAW. First, in a regular one-on-one match, which was won by McIntyre. Then the week after, in a no disqualification match which was stopped by the referee after the pair ran into one another with steel steps on their heads.

While this storyline was developing, it was announced that Drew McIntyre will be facing Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, so the Fastlane match between McIntyre and Sheamus is a good way to tie up their feud before this.
