#3. Damian Priest picked up a clean victory over Sheamus on WWE RAW

Sheamus surprisingly got a championship match on WWE RAW just hours after he took the pin in another title match at Extreme Rules. On Monday, the Celtic Warrior challenged Damian Priest for the United States Championship in a No Disqualification Match.

Sheamus took control of the match early, as he hit some thunderous blows to weaken the United States Champion before Priest made a comeback.

The two rivals took the fight to the floor and looked to use the No Disqualification stipulation to their advantage. They used the steel steps and the weapons around the ring in order to do even more damage.

Sheamus hit White Noise through the table and regained control of the match again. He used kendo sticks against the champion and left him withering in pain. Still, The Archer of Infamy was too much for Sheamus, and he sealed the deal by hitting the Reckoning to pick up another win on RAW.

The match was fast-paced and fun, though it was odd that Jeff Hardy didn't get this shot. He didn't get pinned in the triple threat match on Sunday, but Sheamus challenged for the title on RAW instead.

That being said, this victory cements Priest as a top guy on RAW. He rolled up Sheamus for an unconvincing victory at Extreme Rules but pinned him clean on RAW to prove his dominance.
