Sheamus Defeats Apollo Crews

Sheamus Defeats Apollo Crews: Smackdown March 6

Result: Sheamus defeats Apollo Crews by pinfall after a brogue kick.

Match: Apollo tried to get a jump and eventually succeeded draping Sheamus over the top rope, hitting a cross body, and a quick standing shooting star press. After an elbow and knee strike, Sheamus took back over. Things appeared to swing back to Apollo when he nailed a shotgun dropkick sending Sheamus into the corner. Unfortunately for Apollo Crews, Sheamus came flying out of the corner with a brogue kick that led to the pinfall victory. A very short match.
