A future legend like Sheamus would have never fallen to the same move. Rusev exposed the turn buckle in the second match but sheamus used made sure it backfires. Sheamus won the second match and it didn’t go well with Rusev. He attacked Sheamus with a Shillelagh stick after the latter defeated Grayson Waller. Tonights match was the repurcussion of that attack. We didn’t find a winner tonight but the fight between them is far from over.
