4. A Sequel Everyone Wanted

Hell yes!

Gunther vs. Sheamus II has been announced for the 7 October episode of SmackDown. That, for those not in the know, will be this year's "season premiere" for the blue brand on FOX. Does that really matter in the pro wrestling realm? No, but WWE hype it up anyway, and this is a mega-match.

Bring this the f*ck on, basically. Sheamus and Gunther wrecked one another on Clash At The Castle over in Cardiff, and they'll surely do so again on free TV. Stick both in the headline spot, give them 20 minutes or so and let these lads own it.

It's a slight surprise that WWE didn't pop this one on Extreme Rules 24 hours later. Perhaps they'll book a non-finish on SmackDown and schedule a third encounter for the pay-per-view. If so, then bring that on too! More Gunther vs. Sheamus wouldn't be a bad thing.
