WWE Extreme Rules 2021: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

7. Damian Priest Gets Cut Short

Jeff Hardy has either been added to the United States Title picture on Sunday to take the fall or win the belt himself. Those are the only logical reasons for why WWE would bother to shake up Damian Priest vs. Sheamus when they had an easy rematch on their hands and Jeff had been farting about with Karrion Kross anyway.

Either way sucks for Priest.

If Hardy is eating the pin at Extreme Rules, then it's likely Sheamus beating him. That means Damian's brief US Title reign would come to an end just like that, and he'd be stone cold (not that 'Stone Cold') on Mondays going forwards. The problem is that this guy can see Priest moving to SmackDown in the upcoming Draft.

Creative would probs want to get the belt off of him before then. In other words, Damian Priest fans should start getting paranoid about Hardy's involvement at the weekend. Sheamus might be getting that title back pronto.
