Sheamus/Jeff Hardy Segment, Intercontinental Title Match Set For 6/26 WWE SmackDown
Sheamus is going to raise a glass and toast Jeff Hardy.
In a backstage interview on SmackDown tonight, Sheamus revealed his plans to do so and announced that it will happen on the June 26 episode of SmackDown. This comes shortly after Hardy had his own backstage interview where he called Sheamus a bully.
“@WWESheamus doesn’t have a problem with me, he has a problem with himself. He’s just a miserable, insecure bully who mistakes my honesty and vulnerability as weakness.” – @JEFFHARDYBRAND #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/rATvyFoO3e

The two have been at odds against each other for months with a couple of matches already taking place in recent weeks. Hardy defeated Sheamus in the Intercontinental Championship tournament while Sheamus got revenge and beat Hardy at the Backlash pay-per-view less than two weeks ago.
Perhaps the most notable moment between the two took place on last week’s episode of SmackDown, where Hardy threw a cup of his own urine into Sheamus’ face.
In addition, it was announced that newly-crowned Intercontinental Champion AJ Styles will defend his title against Drew Gulak.
