UPDATE: Later in the night, McIntyre accepted Sheamus’ challenge for the belt, but no date was set.

Sheamus has finally shown his true colors.
Despite being a friend of Drew McIntyre for many years, Sheamus wants the WWE Championship more than friendship. “The Celtic Warrior” wound up delivering a Brogue Kick to McIntyre at the end of RAW’s opening segment to make it clear that his eyes are on the belt.

Prior to the betrayal, Edge had interrupted McIntyre. While the champion had nothing negative to say to the Royal Rumble winner, Edge made it clear that he is walking out of WrestleMania with a belt. However, Edge isn’t sure who he’ll challenge just yet and he told McIntyre to keep his guard up.
Poignant words from @EdgeRatedR…
There IS a major target on #WWEChampion @DMcIntyreWWE, and @WWESheamus just proved it! #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/D9VPblY7R5
