Here's what Drew McIntyre had to say:

'It's always satisfying to get a victory over Sheamus. You know, I can't remember how long ago it was now that he turned his back on me after 20 years and kicked me in the face. I figured we'd have got through it by now, but still, he's been an arse. He's laughing at my face and still, I'm kicking his head off his body. It's always a good day for me and for the WWE Universe when they get to see two big guys beating the hell out of each other," McIntyre said.
