Sheamus' Open Challenge - Kickoff Show

Before Sheamus headed to the ring, The Dirty Dawgs beat down Dominik Mysterio backstage and left him lying underneath a wrapped-up sofa. Will he be able to fight in the SmackDown Tag Team Title match on the main card?

After The Celtic Warrior entered the squared circle, Ricochet answered the challenge. The former United States Champion went straight after the current champion in the early going, but Sheamus quickly gained the upper hand.

Sheamus dominated the match for the next several minutes before Ricochet fought back with a Running Shooting Star Press and a Springboard Moonsault for a near fall. He then followed up with a Backstabber and a 450 Splash but The Ginger-Headed Juggernaut, as Adnan Virk named him, kicked out at two.

Sheamus then avoided a 630 Splash a few moments later and capitalised with a knee to the face for the victory.

The United States Champion didn't have long to celebrate his victory after the bell as Ricochet attacked him from behind and danced in his hat and coat.
