3 reasons why Sheamus was betrayed on WWE RAW

During the latest episode of WWE RAW, Sheamus was betrayed by his former protégé, Pete Dunne. This occurred when the 46-year-old star wrestled Big Bronson Reed on the red brand. After The Celtic Warrior emerged victorious, Bronson Reed tried to launch a post-match assault on him. Pete Dunne then arrived and saved Sheamus.

This mirrored a similar scenario from last week when Sheamus rescued Pete Dunne from a post-match attack by Bronson Reed. However, following his intervention, Dunne refused to shake hands with the veteran and ultimately attacked Sheamus from behind, betraying The Celtic Warrior.

In this article, we will discuss three reasons why the 46-year-old star got betrayed by his former protege on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW.

#3. Pete Dunne might be blaming Sheamus and The Brawling Brutes for his downfall

Before the long hiatus of the Celtic Warrior from WWE, Sheamus, Pete Dunne, and Ridge Holland were all members of the Brawling Brutes faction. However, during their time together, Dunne did not achieve any accolades as an individual star and was primarily focused on elevating their group.

Now that Dunne is once again a singles competitor, it's likely he harbors resentment towards the Celtic Warrior and the Brawling Brutes. This could be due to him believing that they are the reason he has no main roster accolades despite being on the roster for more than two years.

This frustration may have finally led him to snap and attack the veteran on tonight's RAW, acting out of a sense of long-held frustration.

#2. To set a match for SummerSlam 2024

Another reason behind Pete Dunne's attack on The Celtic Warrior in the recent show could be to set up a match at SummerSlam 2024. With the Biggest Party of the Summer just a few weeks away, this betrayal could lead to a highly anticipated showdown between the 46-year-old star and Pete Dunne at the event.

This angle not only creates an intriguing storyline but also gives both former Brawling Brutes members a clear path to SummerSlam, ensuring they have a significant role in the upcoming event.

#1. WWE might be planning to push Pete Dunne

Pete Dunne has been portrayed as a singles star on the red brand and has no intention of re-aligning with The Celtic Warrior. This provides another potential reason behind The Bruiserweight's attack as WWE might be planning a singles push for the star.

A feud against his former mentor could be a great way to kickstart a push for the 30-year-old star.

Additionally, a victory over someone like the former Brawling Brutes leader would be a significant achievement for Pete Dunne, solidifying his status as a formidable competitor in the Stamford-based promotion.
