WWE RAW: 1 Superstar who flopped and 4 who impressed – Top babyface en route to reclaiming WrestleMania glory, new title match confirmed (March 22nd, 2021)

#3 Impressed on WWE RAW: Sheamus

Sheamus fought well against the WWE Champion

WWE Superstar Sheamus was dragged through the gates of hell during his match against Drew McIntyre at Fastlane. He somehow managed to come back inside the ring for another brutal match against Bobby Lashley on RAW this week. The Celtic Warrior deserves every bit of praise for his relentless hard work inside the squared circle.

Sheamus pushed Lashley to his limits on RAW tonight. Despite not being at his hundred percent, he managed to dominate the WWE Champion on several occasions. This led to Benjamin running a sneaky interference and hitting Sheamus at ringside. In the final moments of the match, Sheamus had momentum on his side and was gearing up for a Brogue Kick.

However, Alexander caused a temporary distraction, and Lashley got an opportunity to hit his opponent with an All Mighty Spinebuster. The latter then quickly held Sheamus in a Hurt Lock that forced the latter to submit. Even though The Celtic Warrior ended up losing the match, he was just as good as the current WWE Champion.

Later on in the show, we saw Sheamus in a backstage segment. He was approached by Riddle as the United States Champion wanted Sheamus to see his scooter. However, the latter picked up the scooter and used it to hit Riddle. This could lead to a title feud on RAW, and we are glad to see that the creative wants Sheamus to remain involved in the championship picture in WWE.
