#4. Sheamus picked up a big victory on WWE SmackDown

The final spot on Team SmackDown for WWE Survivor Series was on the line this week. Jinder Mahal, Cesaro, Sheamus, and Ricochet battled in a fatal 4-way match to determine who’d take the final spot for Sunday.

All four men delivered their signature moves early in the contest to keep the action ticking from the start. Ricochet was phenomenal throughout the contest.

Cesaro took Mahal for a swing and locked in the Sharpshooter. Ricochet broke it up and delivered a beautiful 630 splash to Mahal in hopes of picking up the win. However, Sheamus delivered a thunderous Brogue Kick to Ricochet just after the splash.

The Celtic Warrior nearly got the win, but Cesaro broke the pin. Ridge Holland ran down to cause a distraction that allowed The Celtic Warrior to deliver a Brogue Kick for the win on SmackDown.

Sheamus will be a great asset on Team SmackDown. However, Ricochet or Cesaro would have also been great picks. Holland’s alliance with Sheamus could work well in the long run. The two massive men can soon become a dangerous tag team.
