Recently on Talk Is Jericho, WWE Legend Chris Jericho spoke with current WWE RAW Tag Team Champions, Cesaro and Sheamus. During the discussion, Sheamus talked about how the duo came together as a tag team, whether the pair was close before tagging.

According to Sheamus, the team of Cesaro and Sheamus came together in the wake of the 2016 WWE Draft. ‘The Great White’ admitted he was scared of not getting drafted on TV.

Sheamus said, “he came back on fire. I was coming off of that League Of Nations thing after being world champ. And then, we did the draft and we were the second last and last pick [for RAW] and I remember sitting there as the draft is going on, thinking ‘am I even going to be drafted on TV? This is absolute bulls–t!'”

Although Sheamus and Cesaro were not close before forming their tag team, ‘The Celtic Warrior’ claimed that the tandem always shared great mutual respect for one another.

“We had a lot of respect for each other. I don’t think we were super close or anything, but we’re both Europeans, kind of the same background, and we get here. From wrestling each other enough, we both definitely had a lot of respect. Do you know what I mean? I think there has always been a competition between us and that’s a great thing because you always want to try to one up each other.”
