Well, well, well - would you look at this. Sheamus and Ridge Holland are back on the same page, and they're even interacting with New Day jokers Big E and Kofi Kingston backstage. Although goofy, this is a step on the right path for Sheamus and Ridge.

They should be part of SmackDown's tag ranks, because that's the best place for them. Thank f*ck WWE seems to have forgotten that they booked some tension between the pair on last week's show too. That was unwanted frost, especially considering how new Holland is to TV.

He needs stability alongside Sheamus.

A tag-team run would bolster his chances of settling in on SmackDown. Plus, matches between Sheamus/Ridge and New Day should be fantastic if they're handed some time. Sheamus and Holland would also be decent challengers for Kofi and E when those guys next win the tag gold.
