Following their performance on Monday Night Raw, RAW GM Mick Foley issued a public apology to both Cesaro and Sheamus through his Facebook page. This move seems to have come directly from the management after both Cesaro and Sheamus vented out their feelings regarding their positions in the company.
Mick Foley wrote the following message:-
“A GM APOLOGY
I just finished watching Monday's WWE Raw match between Cesaro and Sheamus, and was so impressed with the intensity and physicality that I feel like I need to offer both men an apology.
I want to stress that I LOVE being the Raw GM, but if there is a drawback, it is that when pulled in so many directions during the course of the show, I do not get to concentrate completely on every match in the ring. Had I seen this match in its entirety as it aired live, I would have gone out of my way to praise it when Cesaro entered the ring during my in-ring talk with Daniel Bryan - much as I had praised the commentary on the #CruiserweightClassic of Mauro Ranallo and Daniel Bryan earlier in the segment. I really do think wrestling fans recognize sincerity when they see or hear it - and they appreciate it. It may seem like a minor point, but sometimes it's the little things added up that make a difference in building WWE Superstars to their fullest potential. So I apologize to both these men, and make a promise to everyone that I will try to recognize my shortcomings as GM - and work on them - so that I can do the best job possible best each and every week.
With that being said, who is looking forward to tonight's #CruiserweightClassic on #WWENetwork?!”
Cesaro in an interview with WWE correspondent, JoJo Offerman, which took place after the draft said that he would’ve preferred to be on Smackdown Live! instead of RAW and was dissatisfied by the fact that he was selected in the sixth round of the draft when he probably should’ve been one of the top-ten picks.
Similarly, Sheamus had his own qualms with the company regarding the draft, on which he shed light during his recent interview with ComicBook.com to promote the new film “Scooby Doo! and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon”
Sheamus’ thoughts on the WWE Draft:-
“I was so excited to be the sixth round draft pick after being WWE Champion seven months ago, it’s amazing. I mean, wow, to sit there and see your name come out at the very, very end of Smackdown LIVE, it was a proud moment for me, to be honest. Shows how far I’ve gone in the last seven months as a WWE Superstar. Right [Puts his hand in the air, and plunges it down] to the top!”
Looking at the fact that several top superstars like Ryback, and Cody Rhodes, left the company recently, did Mick Foley post that apology on behalf of the management just so they can retain superstars like Sheamus and Cesaro?
