There was some word going around that Austin Theory vs. Sheamus for the United States championship was being planned for the upcoming Night of Champions event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on May 27, 2023. That may still be the case but if so, it will be a rematch.
That’s because WWE announced the two will tango for the title on Friday Night SmackDown next week.
This came after Theory talked some trash about Sheamus and ate a Brogue Kick for it on SmackDown this week:
