7 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (May 19)

5. A Fine Choice

Sheamus Austin Theory

That won't be the last Brogue Kick you'll see involving these two.

Sheamus going after Austin Theory's United States Title makes sense. He'll bring out the best in Theory (much like he did for GUNTHER's Intercontinental reign), and the Irishman might even let Austin dispense with the more cowardly parts of his act - Theory is capable of getting physical, put it that way.

The pair worked a fun face-to-face on SmackDown, and they'll apparently lock horns on next week's show. It'd be a surprise if WWE burned through the whole rivalry in one match though, so expect some sort of screwy finish to keep things ticking for another while longer.

There might even be some tasty six-man tags coming up. Theory could team with Pretty Deadly against Sheamus and his Brawling Brutes. Why not? That'd help integrate Pretty Deadly, give Austin some backup, and keep both feuds rolling.
