Keith Lee and Sheamus have been fighting amongst each other for weeks on WWE RAW. Drew McIntyre wanted both WWE Superstars to resolve their conflict against each other a while ago. Still, McIntyre's efforts did not result in any kind of harmony between Lee and Sheamus.

This week, Sheamus wanted to convey that Lee had earned his respect after the latter star earned McIntyre's respect on WWE RAW Legends Night.

The Miz and John Morrison arrived to gloat during a backstage segment between Lee and Sheamus, which led to a tag team match on WWE RAW.

The Limitless One broke a turnbuckle at one point during the match, and the duo of Sheamus and Keith Lee was eventually able to defeat Miz and Morrison. Just when things were good between Lee and Sheamus, both stars got involved in a singles competition against each other after the commercial break.

This time around, Lee scored a victory against his frenemy after a hard-hitting contest. The Limitless One offered a fist bump to Sheamus, but the two exchanged a hug instead to call it a day.

It was a good recurring arc for Sheamus to resolve his conflict through action, once again. Sheamus and Keith Lee's subplot was allowed to shine in Drew McIntyre's absence on this week's WWE RAW.
