SmackDown new boy Ridge Holland might've just revealed WWE's latest tag-team.

Ridge worked a backstage promo skit with Cesaro on Friday's episode - there, he told the 'Swiss Superman' that he and Sheamus would start teaming together when the Irishman returned to action next week. Then, Holland kindly informed Cesaro that this new duo would be better than The Bar ever was.

This will probably lead to a singles bout pitting Ridge vs. Cesaro somewhere down the line. Or, maybe WWE will continue teaming the Swiss wrestling machine with Mansoor for a short-lived tag feud intent on establishing Holland and Sheamus as a new heel force on the brand?

That's a guess.

For now, what's clear is that WWE fancy using Sheamus' star power to bed Holland in on SmackDown. That's a solid plan, and there are similarities between Ridge and Sheamus anyway. Both cut tough, street-fighting exteriors, and both are often cast as borderline bullies who scurry away at the first sign of true danger.

This could be one team to keep an eye on. Hopefully they won't be called The Bar 2.0 (or anything like that) though.
