The WWE rode into Dublin last night in what was one of the most eagerly anticipated Raw tours in years, given that the main event was a match between Dublin and Wicklow natives Sheamus and Finn Balor.
While the match itself was a barnstormer, one can't exactly say the whole show went off without a hitch. First off, it seems WWE champion Seth Rollins seriously injured himself. Secondly, Ric Flair came out to open the show and had likely one main objective: promote the hell out of the Irish talent on show and in particular, the Sheamus v Balor match.
What did Ric do?
Supposedly Ric Flair just opened #WWEDublin and said tonight on the card will be Sheamus, Becky Lynch, and Fit Finlay. He meant Finn Balor.

Oh dear.
Fit Finlay is of course another Irishman who has featured in the WWE but in recent years he has taken a backstage role as a coach, given that he's, ye know, 104 years old or something like that.
Anyhow, you can watch the whole Sheamus v Finn Balor match below.
