“Holland made his way back to SmackDown last Friday night to cheer on The Celtic Warrior as he bested Ricochet with a massive Brogue Kick, welcoming his protégé back to the Blue Brand with a hug following the pinfall victory.

“With The Swiss Cyborg now in his corner, will Ricochet & Cesaro spoil Holland’s first match back in nearly a month, or will the two UK bruisers toast to a victory?”
