Priest finally found his opening with a kick and a right hand. He landed a suplex for a two count. Priest then ran the ropes and leapt over the top to take Sheamus down but hurt himself in the process as well. Priest tried to continue with his offence but Sheamus slammed him into the ring post.
Priest tried to make a comeback but Sheamus dropped him for a two count. Priest finally managed to land a few big hits on Sheamus. He struck his opponent with a big flying spin kick but only managed yet another two count.
