The highlight last week was undoubtedly Damian Priest's successful US title defense against Drew McIntyre and Sheamus. Surprisingly, it was Drew McIntyre who took the pinfall, helping to further elevate Priest on RAW.

While it seemed like Sheamus will instantly be next in line for a US title rematch, that isn't the case. He will face his old rival McIntyre on RAW in a #1 contender's match for a US title shot at Extreme Rules.

It's a shame that WWE never goes through with a full-fledged Sheamus-McIntyre feud. It's a good time to do so, and the duo never got to have an actual payoff despite their match at Fastlane 2021.

There's a lot more for us to see between Sheamus and McIntyre, but that isn't going to happen just yet. Ideally, a singles feud between them will be good, but only one can go on to face Priest at Extreme Rules.

Sheamus could be the frontrunner to challenge Priest – which means that could beat McIntyre on RAW.
