Sheamus: Finn Balor Just Started The Irish Civil War
Sheamus is furious with the Judgment Day.
On the October 27 edition of WWE Raw, Sheamus faced off with JD McDonagh in a singles bout. This match was made after McDonagh and Balor eliminated ‘The Celtic Warrior’ from a battle royal on the previous week’s show.
McDonagh ended up scoring the shock win over Sheamus, taking advantage of Finn Balor’s interference to pin the former world champion. This was McDonagh’s first televised singles win since January, where he defeated Akira Tozawa on an episode of Main Event.
After the match, Sheamus took to social media to slam Balor and McDonagh, saying that they’ve started an Irish Civil War.
