Damian Priest vs. Sheamus vs. Jeff Hardy: The Celtic Warrior may be one of the top guys in the mid-card segment on the Red brand. However, when it comes to Damian Priest, Sheamus lacks behind in terms of wins against the United States Champion. Damian Priest and Sheamus have collided twice in a one-on-one bout, and the United States Champion has defeated the Celtic Warrior clean on both occasions.
One of those wins came at the Summerslam PPV last month in front of the 50,000+ audience at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was also the first time Priest won the United States Championship, and now the Archer of Infamy will be defending the title against the same opponent at the WWE Extreme Rules PPV whom he dethroned.
