Sheamus had problems in his leg early on in the match, but that didn’t stop “The Celtic Warrior”. He targeted Hardy’s weak right knee and began dominating the match, manhandling Hardy at one point in the match.

After successfully triggering Hardy’s knee injury, he worked on the rest of his body, delivering two Back-breakers! He even delivered a vicious knee to Hardy’s face.

Hardy could barely even stand, let alone walk. He was at the mercy of “The Celtic Warrior” the entire match. His knee injury was proving to be his major weakness.

 

Hardy began working on Sheamus the same way, unwilling to back down. His knee took a toll on him and he wasn’t able to climb quickly enough to the top rope to deliver a Swanton Bomb to his opponent.
