These Irish eyes aren’t exactly smiling, but rather, they are directly fixed on the WWE Championship.
In a hazardous Tables Match, Sheamus, the Raw roster’s most recent acquisition, competes for his first major title against WWE Champion John Cena at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs.
One-third of the weaponry described in the namesake of the first-ever pay-per-view event of this kind, a Tables Match is designed for the most aggressive Superstars, using their might to drive one another through the unforgiving pine. The first man to force his opponent through a table will be awarded the match and the WWE Championship.
Rare is it for a Superstar to attain a title match of such magnitude so early in his career, let alone within mere weeks after arriving on the scene of the Monday night juggernaut, Raw. Then again, Sheamus – whose WWE career will peak at roughly six months by the time he steps into the ring with Cena – is a rare warrior of a uniquely fierce breed.
In a match designed to afford opportunity to Superstars who’ve never held the WWE or World Heavyweight Title, The Celtic Warrior earned No. 1 contendership in a most impressive manner, prevailing against Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry and others in a revolutionary Breakthrough Battle Royal.
And while The Champ’s most recent conquests include victories over Randy Orton and even both members of D-Generation X in a single bout, perhaps even Cena is not prepared for the unstoppable wrath of this baleful Irishman.
The Celtic Warrior has recklessly torn through anyone in plain sight, from a WWE timekeeper to a Hall of Famer in Jerry Lawler. Now retired from ring action, veteran Jamie Noble also suffered an unforgettably grisly physical mauling by Sheamus in perhaps the most convincing display of the pale plunderer’s ruthlessness.
The fiery haired Irish Superstar has sworn to surpass the thrashing delivered to Noble when he battles The Champ. Will Sheamus make good on this vow or will Cena, a man known for persevering in the face of the most difficult challenges, find a way to serve defeat to Monday Night Raw’s greatest menace?
Find out who will prevail at the very first WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs event, live on pay-per-view on Sunday, Dec. 13.
