Sheamus is basically being used to get the newer stars over, and by putting together a series like this, it seems they are wanting to get Cesaro further over. Of course, WWE will need to keep that consistent though and don't drop the ball with him like they did before.
Naturally they'll cross paths again, but that's WWE booking for you. Not very often do matches feel that fresh anymore because everyone's faced each other that many times unless it's newer guys coming in.
