Sheamus comes out and says everyone thinks he was scared of Orton, but he was scared of what he might have done to Orton. He says he has been hurting people since he came into the WWE, and if anyone thinks Orton will beat him, he advises them to watch the following video package closely. After the video is over, Sheamus asks the fans who thinks he is afraid of Orton now, and he says the footage proves he isn’t. Sheamus calls out Orton to talk to him face to face, and Orton makes his way out.
Sheamus says he is surprised he came out, and Orton says he has something to tell him. Orton says he thinks Sheamus is full of it, and he could have proven he was serious about taking him out, and he will blow it at Summerslam too. He says the fact is still the same, and Sheamus has never beaten him, and he isn’t Cena or HHH, and Sheamus says yes, but you aren’t the WWE Champion either. Sheamus tells him as long as he is champion, Orton won’t get another shot at him. Orton says he will beat Sheamus Sunday, and if he wants to redeem himself, Sheamus should do something about it now.
Michael Cole interrupts with an email, and he says Sheamus’ past title matches have had interference, so if anyone does get involved this time, they will be suspended indefinitely. The GM agrees with Sheamus, and says if Orton doesn’t win this Sunday, he will go to the back of the line in the title picture, but he also agrees with Orton, and suggests Sheamus do something to prove he isn’t scared.
Sheamus fakes a punch to Orton, then goes to leave but Orton attacks him. Sheamus rebounds and hits an axe handle smash, then sets up for a Brogue kick, but misses. Orton ducks it, and hits an inverted backbreaker, then sets up for a punt kick. He stops right before he connects, and Sheamus looks on scared in the corner. Orton picks up the WWE Title and drops it on Sheamus as he smiles and leaves the arena.
