There was plenty of good wrestling on last night's Raw, and while Dean Ambrose vs. Sheamus won't feature on any 'Match Of The Year' ballots, it was a great midcard clash between two guys with obvious chemistry.

Sheamus is the man. One of WWE's most underrated wrestlers, he has suffered through poor booking over the years, but his singles bouts are rarely anything less than good. He is a model of consistency, particularly when it comes to weekly TV matches, and that's precisely why he's such a great opponent for 'The Lunatic Fringe,' who's as erratic as they come.

The match started in typically methodical fashion, but grew through Sheamus' heat segment, with the Irishman throwing Dean around with great ease. Ambrose missed a suicide dive, Cesaro and Seth Rollins inevitably got involved, and while 'The Swiss Cyborg's' distraction almost secured his partner's victory, 'The Kingslayer' saved the day. One Dirty Deeds later, and Sheamus was done, giving The Shield a big W in the ongoing feud, which will hopefully deliver another great tag match at some point down the line.
