Imagine how perplexed Sheamus was when he rushed back from his sister's wedding in Ireland to make the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, only to find out WWE then wanted he and Cesaro to record a 3-hour Ride Along episode immediately after the show. The Irishman had been up for 24 hours by the point filming started, so it was hardly ideal.

Agreeing to film the WWE Network show on his 140 mile journey with Cesaro from Baltimore, Maryland (the site of Extreme Rules) to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania (for Raw the next evening), Sheamus was almost deranged with tiredness during the trip. Hilariously, he kept throwing in Irish colloquialisms from home and Cesaro had no idea what he was talking about.

Keep in mind Sheamus had just flown from his native Dublin back to the States and worked a Steel Cage match with The Hardy Boyz. He was probably due some shut eye, but WWE's production team were determined to squeeze an episode of Ride Along out of him.
