WWE booked a couple of controversial segments on RAW last week. None of the segments received as much backlash as the one for the WWE 24/7 Championship.

During the segment, Jeff Hardy came out in hopes of winning the 24/7 title. Instead, he was taken down by the champion who made his getaway. Fans were not happy watching a legend like Hardy being treated in such a manner.

WWE must look to undo some of the damage during this week's United States Open Challenge. Damian Priest must come out and offer Jeff Hardy a shot at the title.

The two men must have a lengthy contest before Sheamus interferes to draw a disqualification.

The angle will help recover some of the damage done to Hardy’s character. It will also protect him from a loss on RAW. Meanwhile, the rivalry between Sheamus and Priest will get more intense en route to WWE Extreme Rules.

The Archer of Infamy will face Sheamus for the title at Extreme Rules, and The Celtic Warrior will look to ensure that his enemy does not lose the title to anyone except him before the event.
