Ridge Holland is a newcomer to the main roster and he is really looking up to Sheamus already. The problem is that the Celtic Warrior hasn’t been around. That didn’t stop Holland from namedropping Sheamus for the past two weeks.

On this week’s episode of SmackDown, Cesaro confronted Holland backstage during one of his interviews. Holland was talking up Sheamus and how he will be the former WWE Champion’s best friend. That led to a revelation that Sheamus will be back next week.

Ridge Holland promised Cesaro that his partnership with Sheamus will be even greater than The Bar. We will have to see about that, because Sheamus hasn’t even spoken on the matter yet. If anything, this will give fans something to look forward to next week.

Sheamus has been out of action with a broken nose situation. He tried to wrestle with a mask on, but then he broke his nose again. The Celtic Warrior will be back next week, and we have to wonder if he will wear the same face mask that he was sporting on WWE’s recent UK tour.
