The United States Championship match at Extreme Rules saw Damian Priest defend his title against Jeff Hardy and Sheamus. It was the only triple-threat match on the card.
The bout contained some of the best wrestling spots of the night. We saw Damian Priest saving Jeff Hardy from Sheamus' Clover Leaf submission, and Jeff Hardy hitting both opponents with the Twist of Fate. However, Damian managed to pick up the win after a roll-up on Sheamus.
After the match, Priest and Hardy shook hands as a sign of respect. At Extreme Rules, all three stars pushed each other's limits and performed in a hard-hitting battle.
It's now clear that the young talent in Damian Priest will hold on to the United States Title for some more time. If Sheamus is finally done with Damian Priest, we will see some fresh challengers for the coveted United States title. As of now, it looks like the United States Championship Open Challenges will continue!
