Sheamus and Cesaro became a fantastic team on WWE as The Bar, as they would go on to dominate the Raw and Smackdown Tag Team Divisions and winning their titles. Here are some of their awesome moments:


  • December 12, 2016: They are competing for the tag titles in one last chance to stop The New Day becoming the longest reigning tag team in history. Cesaro gets the hot tag, and proceeds to do the following sequence of incredible moves:
    • A springboard European uppercut to Karl Anderson, knocking Anderson into the ropes.
    • A 619 (dubbed the Swiss-19 by the commentators) on Anderson.
    • A leap off the apron taking down Big E.
    • Hitting the ground running and knocking Kofi Kingston over the barricade with another European uppercut.
    • A hard left turn and a jumping double stomp on Luke Gallows, who's lying on the floor.
    • And finally, he jumps back on the turnbuckle and hits a flying crossbody from the top rope to Anderson.
    • The kicker? All this happened in less than thirty seconds.
  • In the Survivor Series 2016 tag team match, they are left for Raw against The Usos, who are representing SmackDown. Cesaro catches one Uso in the Sharpshooter, but the second Uso gets in the ring and is about to superkick Cesaro... but Sheamus nails him with the Brogue Kick at the absolute last second, saving his team and forcing a submission victory.
  • Roadblock, End of the Line: They finally end the New Day's record setting title reign at 483 days to become the new RAW Tag Team champions. As to how they did it: Cesaro fakes getting tagged by Sheamus causing Kofi to mistake him for the legal man and hits Cesaro with Trouble in Paradise, which in turn leaves Kofi open for Sheamus to score the pin.
  • No Mercy, 2017: In a Raw Tag Team Championship match against Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, Cesaro took a slingshot bump badly by smashing his head into the ring post. The impact pushed his two front teeth up into his gums and caused him to bleed from the mouth for the rest of the match. Yes, the rest of the match — meaning that Cesaro actually continued to perform after getting injured, all the way up to the match's scripted conclusion. At several points, he even played up his injury to the camera crew. And by the end, he had put on such an impressive performance that the rest of the talent gave him a standing ovation when he got backstage.
  • With some help with Big Show, The Bar would go on to defeat The New Day on the 1,000th episode of SmackDown Live to win the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, cementing their impressive feat of being 5 time tag team champions.
  • WrestleMania 35: Cesaro swinging Ricochet for as long as Sheamus does the Beats of the Bodhrán to every competitor in every team.
