"I like my big Irish head. I guess it's 2025, and people still think body shaming is okay. What do you want me to do? It's my skull."

Asked when these discussions began, McDonagh said he didn't hear a word about the size of his head until he left Ireland and began wrestling in the UK.

"When I left Ireland. Honestly, I'd never heard a bad word against it until I left Ireland, and then I was in the UK wrestling, and the fans are so creative with their chants. So I was getting like, 'He's got the whole world in his head. He's got the whole world in his head.' Then, I just played into it. That's all you can do. I had a headbutt for a finisher for a little while. I'm always diving off the top rope head first."
