Yet another good match for the summer of 2013. In this one, Sheamus tried using his size and strength to outmatch the red-hot D-Bry and his technical superiority. However, it did appear that Sheamus was losing his balance at times, which is a very bad situation to be in against D-Bry. The finish is great with Sheamus locking on the Texas Cloverleaf, but D-Bry using his technique to get out of it and win via small package. Sheamus shows respect and they shake hands. ***1/4

This is an awesome, quality TV-match. Both of them are babyfaces here, and it's fun how different the dynamic is compared to their World Title feud stuff from 2012. Sheamus is really solid throughout as the bruiser, delivering Bryan a beating, and Bryan of course rules as the crafty veteran underdog, using every opening he gets to gain the control to his name. It's not really a one-sided match or anything though, as both get just about the same amount of time to do their things, but you can feel the underdog dynamic there throughout. Lots to love here w/ the great looking offense of both men, some real brutal spots (the barricade one pops out to mind immediately) & terrific counters throughout. Speaking of counters, that finish with Bryan countering Sheamus' Cloverleaf into the Small Package ruled. ***1/2
