Modified Oct 01, 2024 02:18 GMT

Sheamus has been feuding with someone he once called his friend. As a result, he's now challenged his former stablemate to a special match.

Sheamus and Pete Dunne go way back due to their time together in the Brawling Brutes. While this was a fun time for the Celtic Warrior, Dunne doesn't remember it fondly. This has been one of the issues he's had with his former stablemate.

Pete Dunne has been vocal about his time in Brawling Brutes in recent weeks. He even mentioned how he wants to forget the name Butch, which he used while in the faction. Hence, Dunne has taken out his frustration on the Celtic Warrior. Over the past few weeks, the two men have taken several shots at each other. The two even competed twice on the red brand, with each man winning one match.

Tonight on RAW, Sheamus appeared in a vignette with an interesting challenge for his former stablemate. He seemed intent on finally settling scores and challenged Dunne to a Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook match. A Donnybrook match is an Irish twist to a No Disqualification match and generally includes Irish weapons like barrels and a shillelagh.

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. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
