Drew McIntyre birthday celebration and Sheamus mockery captured the attention of WWE fans on McIntyre’s 40th birthday, when Sheamus responded humorously to an emotional message from McIntyre’s brother. The vibe took on layers of rivalry and warmth, as the WWE universe joined the conversation online.
Sheamus Adds Laughter to Drew McIntyre’s Special Day
On Drew McIntyre’s birthday, messages from fans and loved ones poured in for The Scottish Warrior, bringing together celebration and playful banter. The atmosphere was particularly charged after McIntyre’s recent absence from television, a result of a fierce feud with Damian Priest that ended at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Their last encounter inside a steel cage left McIntyre sidelined following a brutal chair shot, fueling speculation among fans about his potential comeback.
John Galloway, McIntyre’s brother, expressed heartfelt wishes on social media, marking the milestone 40th birthday and lightly referencing how Sheamus, a long-standing rival and friend, might join in the teasing:
“Happy 40th birthday @DMcIntyreWWE I don’t know what I did to deserve a brother as amazing as you are. Have a great day and I’ll see you soon. Any older @WWESheamus will start making jokes about you 🫠”
—John Galloway, Drew McIntyre’s brother
Sheamus, never one to miss an opportunity for humor, crafted a pointed response highlighting McIntyre’s age and embracing his role as the comedic instigator among WWE stars. He cautioned that certain clichés about turning 40 might strike a nerve:

“He’s the BIG 4-0 and very sensitive about his birthday. Please, don’t tag Drew with cliches like: past-it, over the hill, one foot in the grave, old grey balls, long in the tooth, smells of pish, out to pasture, dm granddaddy diapers, etc.. he’d hate that. 😉”
—Sheamus, WWE Superstar
Past Rivalries and Future Clashes on the Horizon
Throughout their careers, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre have faced off in the WWE ring on numerous occasions, the most notable being the triple-threat match featuring Gunther at WrestleMania 39 for the Intercontinental Championship. Their on-screen rivalry is legendary, often blending intensity with moments of comic relief, much like their latest social media antics.
Currently, The Scottish Warrior remains away from active competition and no formal date has been announced for his return. In the meantime, Sheamus appears to be heading into a potential rivalry with Rusev, keeping both superstars in the spotlight despite being split across different WWE brands. Damian Priest, now focused on Jacob Fatu’s United States Championship, has likely moved on from his confrontations with McIntyre.
Speculation continues among fans about whether Sheamus and McIntyre will find themselves in the ring together again. Despite brand differences and new storylines, WWE’s unpredictable nature leaves open the possibility for their rivalry to reignite, with the wrestling community eagerly watching for official announcements.
The interplay of celebration and friendly taunting layered atop genuine sibling emotion exemplifies the unique blend of competition and camaraderie within WWE. As the WWE universe continues to wish Drew McIntyre well and Sheamus keeps the jokes coming, anticipation only grows for both their eventual returns and future showdowns.
