Sheamus attacked by former faction mate with rare weapon

Modified Jul 30, 2024 01:26 GMT

Sheamus was attacked by his former faction mate on the latest episode of WWE RAW. This cost him his match against Bronson Reed.

In 2021, Sheamus formed a faction called The Brawling Brutes with Pete Dunne and Ridge Holland. Together, the three of them shared a common interest in that they loved to fight. They would be heavily involved in some major tag team storylines. However, Sheamus disappeared for a couple of months last year due to injury, leaving Dunne and Holland to fend for themselves. This eventually led to their split as a tag team.

The Celtic Warrior returned back to action earlier this year. He even saved Pete Dunne from being attacked by Bronson Reed. However, when he went to hug his former stablemate, he was pushed away. A week later, Dunne saved The Celtic Warrior from Reed only to ambush him from behind.

The Irish star then retaliated by attacking Dunne the following week. Tonight on RAW, the former WWE Champion went one-on-one with Bronson Reed. The match was going his way when Pete Dunne attacked him from behind with a shillelagh. This allowed Reed to hit the tsunami for the win.

It looks like this rivalry between The Celtic Warrior and Pete Dunne has gotten quite personal pretty quickly.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
