Sheamus won the WWE US Championship at WrestleMania 37

#1. Damian Priest could be a big threat to Sheamus' United States Championship

If there is any particular Superstar who Sheamus should watch out for on Monday Night RAW, it's Damian Priest. The former NXT sensation has been on a tear since being called up to the main roster this year and at WrestleMania 37, Priest once again looked like a million bucks.

On Night 1 of the show, Priest teamed up with Bad Bunny in the co-main event of the evening. Facing off against their arch-rivals John Morrison and The Miz, the team of Priest and Bunny stole the show in what many regarded as the best match of Night 1 of WrestleMania 37.

In the aftermath of Priest's big win at The Grandest Stage of Them All, it is time for WWE to capitalize on his huge momentum and utilize the former NXT North American Champion as the amazing singles superstar that he is.

Inserting Priest into a feud against Sheamus for the WWE United States Title seems like a reasonable decision. With both men securing big wins at WrestleMania, a feud between the two, with a title on the line, should add a lot more credibility to the rivalry.
