WWE Raw: Cesaro and Sheamus level at 3-3 in best-of-seven series
Series decider to take place at Clash of Champions on Sunday night
Tuesday 20 September 2016 13:10, UK
Cesaro and Sheamus will meet in a decider at WWE Clash of Champions after the Swiss drew level at 3-3 in the pair's best-of-seven series.
Cesaro downed the Irishman with a European Uppercut and a Neutralizer on Monday's episode of Raw in Memphis to notch his third straight win.
The Lucerne-born star and the Dubliner will now fight one last time on Sunday night with the winner not only taking the series but also earning a championship opportunity.
Cesaro had slipped 3-0 behind to Sheamus following a defeat at August's SummerSlam pay-per-view and two losses on Raw, but reduced his arrears to 3-2 with a victory at WWE's recent Live in London show at the O2 Arena and another triumph on last week's Raw.
The former United States and Tag Team Champion then evened the score on Monday evening, despite being blasted with a White Noise into the ring apron and caught in a Cloverleaf submission.
Bayley and Brian Kendrick were also added to the Clash of Champions card during Raw, with the former to fight for the red brand's Women's Title and the latter the Cruiserweight Title.
Charlotte was set to defend the Women's Title against Sasha Banks on Sunday night but meddling from her protégée, Dana Brooke, prompted Raw boss Mick Foley to add Bayley to the bout and make it a Triple Threat.
Charlotte subsequently shoved Brooke to the floor but the duo impressed when partnering up later in the show to defeat Bayley and Banks in a tag match - Charlotte booting Bayley to secure the win.
Kendrick, meanwhile, overcame Cedric Alexander, Rich Swann and Cruiserweight Classic runner-up Gran Metalik to earn a showdown with Cruiserweight Champion TJ Perkins.
Kendrick - who held the WWE Tag Team Titles for 331 days with Paul London between 2006 and 2007 - sealed victory when he forced Alexander to submit to his Captain's Hook chinlock.
Elsewhere, The New Day, Sami Zayn, Enzo Amore and Big Cass knocked off Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, Chris Jericho and The Shining Stars, while Braun Strowman and Bo Dallas made light work of Sin Cara and Gary Graham respectively.
