It happened on the Kickoff show with zero promotion, and it ended with WWE’s second “babyface loses match but gets his music played at the end by stealing heel’s headgear” moment of the weekend. Point is, we’d understand if you slept on Ricochet and Sheamus’s banger at WrestleMania Backlash.
Actually, we’d understand if you slept on Ricochet and Sheamus’s banger from last night’s Raw, too. It happened in the middle of another three hour slog of a show, allegedly thrown together at the last minute, which seemed to be setting us on a course for more rematches of feuds we’ve been watching all year.
But you shouldn’t. Even though it looks like the end of their brief two-night feud, it’s worth it for Ric looking good in jeans, and the continuation of a quietly great run of matches the 43 year old Celtic Warrior’s been having.
