WWE United States Champion Sheamus fought in two consecutive matches this week.

The Celtic Warrior first squared off against Ricochet in a non-title bout, but a mid-match appearance from Humberto Carrillo distracted Sheamus, allowing Ricochet to capitalize on the situation and pick up a win.

This was followed by another non-title contest, with Carrillo stepping up to Sheamus in the latter's second consecutive match. During this bout, the U.S. Champion broke his nose and bled conspicuously on live television. This time around, Ricochet's presence was enough to distract Sheamus, and Carrillo benefited by picking up a victory for himself.

It ended up being a bad night for the WWE U.S. Champion, who may have to take some time off as a result of the injury he suffered on RAW.

Let's hope Sheamus's broken nose injury doesn't derail his current momentum on the road to Hell in a Cell.
