At WWE Backlash this Sunday, fans will be treated to some top quality Championship and non-title matches to highlight the event. While there are many matches on the card which could have done with a contract signing segment prior to it, SmackDown picked the match between Jeff Hardy and Sheamus for the segment and for good reason.

The Celtic Warrior arrived at the SmackDown ring with a doctor in tow to ensure that the fans knew that the contract signing won’t be as traditional as it’s supposed to be.

With Hardy out in the ring, Sheamus insisted that The Charismatic Enigma of SmackDown take a urine test to prove he is clean. Hardy said a few words related to his struggles before agreeing to the test.

Sheamus wasn't expecting what he got on WWE SmackDown this week

Hardy then stated to Sheamus that “it’s better to be p***** off than p***** on” before throwing the urine sample in the former WWE Champion’s face. Sheamus tried to take down Hardy but the babyface made his escape from the spot.

This was a bizarre yet hilarious segment that helped make things even more bitter between these two men. While a contract signing between Randy Orton and Edge or Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre would have made more sense, SmackDown once again took Hardy’s real-life struggles and included it into their storyline in an attempt to make this feud even more personal.
