Bad News Barrett def. Sheamus to advance in the Intercontinental Championship No. 1 Contender’s Tournament.
Bad news travels fast, and the luck of the Irish ran dry on Raw when Bad News Barrett elbowed Sheamus out of the running to face Big E for the Intercontinental Championship in the semifinals of the No. 1 Contender’s Tournament that began last week. The Irishman had promised his hooligans a “Big Bad Brogue Kick” to shut Barrett’s famous mouth and he rolled out of the gate strong to set the Brit up for just that, clobbering Barrett’s sternum with the Ten Beats of the Bodhrán and following up with the Irish Curse.
Barrett’s fighter’s reflexes saved him from doom when he dodged the Brogue Kick and scooped up a ricocheting Sheamus into the Winds of Change. Sheamus didn’t let the move slow him down, which turned out to be his downfall: The three-time Intercontinental Champion chose to use Sheamus’ momentum against him, unleashing a springing Bad News elbow to the Irishman’s head as Sheamus ran to chase him out of the ring. #BOOM.
