Randy Orton is out in the ring to celebrate his win as the NEW WWE Champion!
Before he can fill his promo with excessive bravado, Sheamus' music hits. The
Celtic Warrior comes down to the ring with microphone in hand. Sheamus claims
that both times he lost the WWE Title, it was actually stolen from him. First in
an Elimination Chamber, and then last night in the Six Pack Challenge. Sheamus
says that it is pathetic.
Orton retorts that given the circumstances in which Sheamus won the Title
(interference from Nexus), the only thing pathetic is Sheamus. Undaunted, the
former Champion demands to have a rematch. Orton says that if Sheamus keeps up
this harassment, then it won't be a rematch he receives, but a punt to the
skull. Sheamus says that he isn't scared, instead he is going to kick Orton's
head off. Orton dares him to try.
*GeneralMail Alert*
And I quote...
Randy Orton & Sheamus will have their Championship Match. When it is over there
will be no question as to who is the champion. That is because their match will
have NO DQ and No excuses. In just two weeks, Sheamus will face Orton inside
Hell-in-a-Cell.
Sheamus admits that he has never been in that type of match, but given what he
did to HHH, he has no fear. The last thing that Sheamus wants before he goes, is
his gold. Orton is baffled. Sheamus tells him not to play dumb, clearly he is
talking about the WWE Championship. Sheamus says that if Orton is an honorable
man, he will turn over the Title. If Orton is able to beat Sheamus in
Hell-in-a-Cell, then Sheamus will hand over the Title.
Orton says that Sheamus' first mistake was assuming that he was an honorable
man. Hell, Orton says that he would punt his own grandmother in the face if it
meant winning the Title. Orton says that if Sheamus really wants the Title that
bad, he can go ahead and take it.
Orton holds the Title out in front of him, and throws down his mic. Sheamus
starts to make a move towards the Title. Orton grabs him and hits with an RKO!
Orton poses to the crowd, holding up his Title in the air. Orton leaves the ring
and starts to head towards the ramp. Orton pauses and then slides back into the
ring. Orton backs himself into the corner and begins to stare down his prey.
Sheamus gets to his knees, and Orton vaults himself across the ring. Sheamus
slides out just in time to escape the impending punt.

out of the ring. Kozlov nails Rhodes with a boot that sends him to the outside

injury. Or something like that.

says that he can and he will regain his US Championship. "Because I'm The Miz,

about his match against Morrison, but instead... his new DVD! Jericho says that

to rest of his laurels, but instead because it shows that despite what happened
in the past, he will go on to do great things. Jericho also says that he found

John Cena v. Wade Barret w/ Nexus
Before the match, Wade jumps on top of the commentary booth. Wade says that
because Cena wants to pick apart the Nexus one by one, there has been a change
of plans. Barret believes Cena is a man of his word, so this will be a gauntlet

to agree, then he is going to need something in exchange. Cena says that Barret
needs just name it. Barret stipulates that if he beats Cena, then Cena must
become a member of the Nexus. No ifs, ands, buts, or maybes. Barret proposes
that the match takes place in two weeks, at Hell-in-a-Cell. Cena says that he

big match, then they are going to make it a big match. If Cena wins, then Nexus
is done. Forever. Barret accepts.
