Sheamus vs. Damian Priest has been an underrated feud on RAW. Both men have won a lot in 2021 and it's simply the right feud at the right time. Priest has momentum on his side, as does The Celtic Warrior.

Last week on RAW, the US Champion defeated Ricochet while Damian Priest once again defeated John Morrison. We're not sure why The Miz and Morrison are even involved, especially since their feud with Priest concluded post-WrestleMania.

Either way, the US title picture on RAW is poised to intensify on the final episode before SummerSlam 2021. It will be interesting to see who stands tall between Sheamus and Priest.

Since the former has been the reigning US Champion since WrestleMania 37, Damian Priest is considered a big favorite to capture the title from him. He has been on a tear but hasn't seen Championship success just yet. We fully expect that to change at the upcoming pay-per-view.

Sheamus might stand tall on the Red brand, or they may have their own individual matches like they did last week. Either way, it should be fun to watch. This feud has delivered and more.
