5 things WWE Extreme Rules got right: Roman Reigns gets a lucky break; Sasha Banks returns

#3. Damian Priest retained the United States Championship at WWE Extreme Rules

Sheamus and Jeff Hardy challenged Damian Priest for the United States Championship at WWE Extreme Rules. They competed in a Triple Threat Match.

Sheamus kicked Hardy out of the ring as soon as the bell rang. This left Priest and Sheamus to go up against each other. The United States Champion took Sheamus out of the ring and ran him into the barricade.

Jeff Hardy got back and took out Sheamus with a dive from the apron. Priest took out both men and nearly put The Charismatic Enigma away with a Broken Arrow.

Sheamus made a comeback and grabbed The Archer of Infamy for the 10 Beats of the Bodhran, but Priest countered. Hardy kept his flight mode on and hit both men with Whisper in the Wind at the same time.

Hardy nearly picked up the win late in the match with a Swanton to both men. The Celtic Warrior blasted Hardy with a Brogue kid, and Priest rolled up Sheamus with a schoolboy pin to score the win to hold on to his championship at Extreme Rules.

The match was fast-paced and allowed all three men to shine. However, it was clear that Damian Priest would walk away with his United States Championship at Extreme Rules.

Nonetheless, the creative team protected Hardy from the finish to avoid any further backlash. Will The Charismatic Enigma remain in the title picture for some time?
