Sheamus and Cesaro are two men who have impeccable chemistry in the ring, and a lot of that comes with how they are willing to thwomp the living daylights out of each other. Every time they come together you are guaranteed to see a lot of stiff shots and uppercuts that don't hold back.

Their match at Night of Champions 2014 sticks out in particular. Sheamus isn't known for being particularly light in the ring, but go back and watch his clubbing on the apron here. Cesaro is taking a total beating, and gives as much as he gets. For every club the former Antonio comes back with uppercut after uppercut. As the match reaches its climax the strikes only get harder.

Another battle that left Sheamus a peachy mess, one minor gripe could be aimed towards Sheamus' selling towards the finish, but that could also be excused by pointing to the rush of adrenaline that brutality often brings out.
