Sheamus Says He Came Up With The ‘Burger After Burger’ Line, Fed It To Drew McIntyre
Sheamus reveals that he fed the ‘burger after burger’ line to Drew McIntyre.
On the April 22 edition of WWE Raw, Drew McIntyre and Sheamus got into a heated promo battle. McIntyre in particular had the line of the night, referencing Sheamus’ weight by saying that he’s been eating burger after burger.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet for a new interview, Sheamus revealed that he came up with the line and fed it to McIntyre.
“So I wasn’t happy with the way I came back after the whole thing happened when I tried hard for the Gunther match, it didn’t happen. I kind of just said, I don’t give a sh*t anymore, so I’m going to eat what I want and not really work out. So I kind of just didn’t care. When I came back with my new biker shorts, booty shorts, it was not good. I got absolutely slaughtered online. I mean, slaughtered. At first I was like oh my God, I was like, Oh no. Then I was like well in fairness I did kind of like to go party like it was the end of the world. So, anyway, I leant into it, it was great. But the promo me and Drew did the burger after burger line, what’s that show on WWE now, behind the scenes, Unreal? So I’m gonna give you my own unreal moment. I gave Drew the burger after burger line. Because I was gonna lean into it. He was like, ‘You want me to say that?’ I was like ‘I want you to say it, it’s everywhere, bro, it’s everywhere. Have you not seen Twitter in the last seven days? Have you not seen I’m getting slaughtered?’ So we did it, I gave him the line of his career. And you know why? Because that’s what it is, fella, it’s entertainment. That’s what it’s about.”
Sheamus and Rusev are currently engaged in a heated feud on Raw. Their third match, which took place on the August 4 edition of Raw, ended in a double countout.
