WWE SmackDown Flops and Hits: Brock Lesnar steals the show, Former "brothers" in epic rivalry (3rd December 2021)

#4 Hit on WWE SmackDown: Sheamus

One of the best matches on this week’s WWE SmackDown featured an in-ring battle between two former tag team partners, Sheamus and Cesaro. The expectations were high from the match between two superstars who share a long history between them.

Their recent rivalry has paid a perfectly subtle nod to their time together as a tag team, resulting in entertaining segments.

The match between Sheamus and Cesaro had multiple great spots. They are familiar with each other’s offenses which helped them come up with exciting counters. The two also mocked each other and exchanged dialogs pertaining to their past glory.

The Celtic Warrior eventually won the bout, but we hope this isn’t the end of his rivalry with Cesaro on the blue brand.

Since Sheamus and Cesaro are unlikely to enter a title picture over the next couple of months, it would be better to keep them involved in a promising storyline. It will keep them both on TV and give them an excellent chance to build credibility on SmackDown.

Moreover, the fans seemed to be heavily invested in their match, and thus, it would be a wasted opportunity for the writers not to experiment with this narrative.
