[WATCH] What happened with Sheamus after WWE SmackDown went off-air?

After tonight's edition of WWE SmackDown went off the air, Sheamus and Butch took on Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci in a dark match.

The Brawling Brutes have been feuding with Imperium on WWE SmackDown for a while now. The two groups have engaged in a bunch of multi-man matches over the past several weeks.

After tonight's edition of SmackDown came to a close, WWE treated the live audience with a tag team match. The match pitted The Brawling Brutes (Butch and Sheamus) against Imperium's Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci. The tag team contest ended with The Celtic Warrior hitting a devastating Brogue Kick on Kaiser, which was enough for a pin and a victory.

Check out this clip featuring the highlights of the bout:

Sheamus recently suffered a big loss to Imperium's Gunther

At WrestleMania 39, Gunther defeated the former WWE Champion and Drew McIntyre in a Triple Threat match to retain his Intercontinental title. The Irish pro-wrestler has vowed to win the Intercontinental title for a while now, but has yet to achieve the feat. Winning the coveted belt would result in him becoming a Grand Slam Champion.

​

It remains to be seen if The Celtic Warrior succeeds in realizing his dream of becoming a Grand Slam Champion somewhere down the line. Gunther will certainly do everything in his power to make sure he doesn't.

What do you think? Will the WWE veteran manage to defeat Gunther for the Intercontinental title in the near future?
