Yes Sean is fake. He came to the press conference, shook hands with Dricus, all respect and then as the press conference started he felt the need to be in the center of the attention and started talking shit for no reason, calling Dricus a f word, coward and what not.. He thought he will bully Dricus and when Dricus showed that he can also hit low and that he won't get bullied Sean started acting a victim. So Sean is not much different than Colby. He will also talk shit and hit low for the sake of entertainment and that's definitely called being fake.
