Priest defeated Sheamus at WWE SummerSlam to capture the championship and would defend against both Sheamus and Drew McIntyre on the August 30 episode of Monday Night Raw, painting Drew McIntyre to retain the title.

After the match, Drew McIntyre would hit Sheamus with a Claymore Kick and leave a very disgruntled Scotsman.

From WWE:

At WWE Extreme Rules, United States Champion Damian Priest will attempt to retain his title against the very Superstar he dethroned when he battles Sheamus in a SummerSlam rematch.

On the Aug. 30 edition of Raw, Priest overcame The Celtic Warrior and Drew McIntyre in a Triple Threat Match after McIntyre knocked Sheamus out of the ring with an earth-shattering Claymore Kick. The following week, Sheamus was out for payback when he once again took on and bested his former friend for the right to challenge The Archer of Infamy at WWE Extreme Rules.

Now that their rematch is set in stone, find out who will walk away from the hard-hitting showdown with the United States Title on the one night of the year when WWE goes extreme, streaming live on Sunday, Sept. 26, at 8 ET/5 PT on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
