Matt Riddle was scheduled to compete against Sheamus on this week’s show, and this allowed The Celtic Warrior a big chance to showcase his strengths in the WWE SmackDown ring.

While Riddle had been overpowering most of his opponents on SmackDown, he met his match in Sheamus who managed to get the better of Riddle for most of the match. While it seemed like Riddle was on his way to losing the match, Shorty G arrived to attack the Superstar outside the ring.

This led to a disqualification victory for The Original Bro who then unloaded on Shorty G. After Riddle was done, Sheamus took down Shorty with a couple of Brogue Kicks.

Later on SmackDown, Corbin competed against Jeff Hardy and had him on the ropes before Sheamus interfered and took Hardy down with a Brogue Kick to allow him to pick up a disqualification win over Corbin.

The King wasn’t happy and took on The Celtic Warrior right away. While the two big men had a great match, Riddle distracted Corbin and allowed Sheamus to hit the Brogue Kick for the victory.

This was a great mix of matches that could ultimately lead to a partnership between Riddle and Sheamus against Corbin and Shorty G. While Sheamus is a pure heel at the moment, he could join forces with Riddle for a short time to neutralize Corbin and get some big matches.
