#5. Damian Priest must save Humberto Carrillo from another attack by Sheamus on WWE RAW
Last week on WWE RAW, Humberto Carrillo was presented with a big opportunity by the creative team. Carrillo took on Sheamus for the United States Championship on the show.
Sheamus was injured by Carrillo a couple of months ago and came back to take out his frustration on the superstar. He attacked Carrillo backstage before the match and ended him with a Brogue Kick as soon as the match began.
Carrillo must try to get back at Sheamus and attack him on RAW before being beaten down again. Damian Priest should then appear again and save Carrillo before having a staredown with The Celtic Warrior.
WWE can then build a rivalry between Priest and Sheamus once the champion is a hundred percent again. With WWE SummerSlam coming up, RAW could build a great storyline between the two superstars for the United States Championship.
A rivalry between Sheamus and Priest could end up elevating the RAW mid-card. The Archer of Infamy is a former NXT North American Champion, and he could win the title at a big event to continue his push.
