Sheamus took on Pete Dunne on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW and emerged victorious over his former Brawling Brutes stablemate. A moment that stood out, though, was when RAW commentator Michael Cole referred to one of The Celtic Warriors' title wins.

"The former World Champion Sheamus - won one of his World Titles just down the road from Fort Lauderdale in Miami at WrestleMania, beating Daniel Bryan in 18 seconds to win that World Championship," Michael Cole said. [H/T WrestleTalk]

This victory created a highlight moment since Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan, now known as Bryan Danielson, in just 18 seconds. It also featured AJ Lee, who was involved in an on-screen relationship with Bryan back in the day.

The American Dragon kissed AJ Lee before the match and when the bell rang, he was hit by a Brogue Kick by The Celtic Warrior, who won the match and became the new World Heavyweight Champion.

Despite his loss, Bryan stayed in the title picture and eventually became a World Champion at WrestleMania 30, emerging as a top star in the business. Fast forward to today, he competes in AEW under his real name, Bryan Danielson.

As for AJ Lee, she left the Stamford-based promotion several years ago, but there has been speculation recently about her potential comeback in the future. She is married to WWE Superstar CM Punk.

WWE fans would love to see AJ one more time in the ring soon.


Sheamus got back on track with victory over Pete Dunne on WWE RAW

Sheamus continues his feud with Pete Dunne as well as Ludwig Kaiser. This week on RAW, the former WWE Champion hit Dunne with a Brogue Kick and defeated him, gaining some momentum.

He has to be extra careful, though, as the 30-year-old star will be back for revenge next week, while Ludwig Kaiser interfering is also an option.

It is unclear what plans WWE has for this feud and whether The Celtic Warrior, who has been at a mid-card level since his return, will face either Pete Dunne or Kaiser in one of the coming premium live events.
