–Reminder, I do not rate matches that are under three minutes long…
-Highlights from Raw.
-The show opened with a video of Raw, showing the Shield’s involvement, and then focusing on Ryback destroying Punk to close the show. We also saw the “WWE.com” exclusive, showing that Punk had knee surgery and that he was out of the PPV, leaving us with Ryback and Team Hell no vs. The Shield.
Booker T is in the ring with a table set up with two chairs and a contract. This was set up for The Big Show and Sheamus. Booker stated that things had become personal, and were therefore likely to get physical. He has made the decision that they will sign a no contact clause between the two until TLC, effective immediately because was afraid one would hurt the other before the show and the match would be off. Booker then called both down.
Booker warned Sheamus that if he touches Show he loses his title shot, and then warned Show that if he touches Sheamus that he will be stripped of his title. Booker asked Sheamus to sign, who said in nine days his Christmas is coming early, and he’d be getting the ultimate present, the world championship. He then signed the agreement. Show said Sheamus hit him thirty times with a chair and he still walked away, and then stated that he’d only have to hit Sheamus once, and that it will change him forever. They discuss each other’s careers, some ballyhoo ensues and Show dumps the table on Sheamus, signs and then hid behind Booker, laughing as Sheamus nearly lost his temper. Booker calmed Sheamus by telling him he could take out his frustration on Alberto Del Rio later in the program. Booker then booked Show vs. Daniel Bryan…NEXT!
And here we go, Bryan works leg kicks early, trying to break down Show. Show fights back with clubbing shots, and takes Bryan to the corner. Chops miss, and more leg kicks by Bryan. Body shot by Show slows down Bryan. A big body slam follows, and then head butts by Show. Big chop by Show, Bryan tries to land some chops, lands kicks as well. Body shot again by Show, and then charges and gets an ass splash in the corner. Off the ropes, dropkick to the knee by Bryan and Show rolls to the floor. Cross body the floor caught, and Show tries to slam Bryan to he post, but Bryan slides out and slams Show into the post. Bryan leaps off the apron, and eats a right to the gut…
We are back from commercial and Show works the arm of Bryan. Show stands on the arm now, which has to suck. Show continues to work on the arm, to the corner and he charges, but Bryan kicks him in the face. Corner dropkick by Bryan, another and then more leg kicks. Kicks to the chest, Show fights back, looks for a chokeslam, but Bryan gets a DDT for 2. Kick to the face by Bryan. He heads up top, and we see the Shield in the crowd. Show grabs Bryan and gets a chokeslam off the ropes and pins Bryan.

RATING: **
-The Shield hit the ringside area and Show slowly left the ring. They then entered and started beating down Bryan. Kane’s music hit but the three on one attack was too much. They took apart the announcers table and then powerbombed Kane through it.
-Damien Sandow came out to look for an apprentice. This week it was a guy in glasses and a Santino shirt. Sandow did the usual deal and humiliated the guy. The Miz then came out and ran down Sandow’s attire, said “you’re welcome” and left. Ok.
Slater and Jey to begin. Lock up, off the ropes and a shoulder block by Slater. Jey back with a clothesline, and then tags in Jimmy. Head butts follow, one off the ropes by Jimmy for 2.

-Wade Barrett was in the back with Matt Striker; who brought up the fact that Randy Orton, Barrett’s opponent for tonight; had been attacked by The Shield earlier in the week. Wade dismissed this as bullshit, and stated that Orton should be worried about him and him alone. He also reminds us that one year ago, he tossed Orton down a flight of stairs.

RATING: The drizzling shits
-We get a video from Raw.
-We get a video from The Shield. They know injustice, and last week CM Punk was disrespected, so they took care of Miz. Randy Orton took advantage of Maddox, and they paid him back. They shield the WWE from injustice. They say Ryback has been handed everything, and brought him back to reality. They work for no one, they are The Shield of Justice. At TLC, bring tables, ladders and chairs, because they will bring a sword…
-Antonio Cesaro is in the ring, and says that he has learned about the United States. He learned that it is weak, and that the American Dream was a lie. We even get a Dusty Rhodes joke. He said that the next generation of Americans would be even more pathetic. R Truth makes his way out, and says that Antonio needs a dose of the truth, and that Americans work hard, during hard times (if you will). Cesaro said Truth was out here to try to get to his title, but like most Americans, he would fail miserably. Truth attacked Cesaro, they brawled briefly and Cesaro escaped, Truth danced.
And here we go with our main event. Lock up, to the corner and Sheamus with the side headlock takedown and then knees to Del Rio, who rolls to the floor. Del Rio charges back in, to the corner and rights by Sheamus. Knees and rights by Del Rio, and then connects with a running boot. Del Rio chokes out Sheamus in the corner, but then Sheamus back with a neck breaker and a cover for 2. Boots by Sheamus follow, but Del Rio back with leg kicks and then works the arm of Sheamus. Sheamus with knees, off the ropes and a boot by Del Rio. Back elbow by Sheamus and Del Rio rolls to the floor. Sheamus follows, and slams Del Rio off the announce table. Sheamus tosses Del Rio back in, rights by Sheamus from the apron. Tries to suplex Del Rio to the floor, countered and Del Rio with the dropkick sends Sheamus to the floor. Big Show walks out to watch the match…
We are back to action as Del Rio works the arm of Sheamus. Sheamus to his feet, tries to fight back but Del Rio remains in control and stomps Sheamus in the top of the head. Slam by Del Rio, and then a moonsault connects for 2. A suplex by Del Rio gets 2.

Clotheslines by Sheamus, shoulder block and then a knee lift. Del Rio counters a slam, misses a charge and Sheamus with the clubbing shots in the ropes. Sheamus suplexes Del Rio back in and then to the apron he goes and then up top. The flying shoulder block connects and Sheamus covers for 2. Del Rio counters the back breaker and gets a back breaker for 2. Del Rio is frustrated, and then looks for the cross arm breaker. Sheamus counters, misses the brogue kick and a run up enziguri by Del Rio gets a close 2. Del Rio then misses a moonsault, Irish curse back breaker by Sheamus. Locks in the cloverleaf and Del Rio taps.
OFFICIAL RESULT: Sheamus @ 12:41 via submission

-Big Show made his way to the ring, and got into the face of Sheamus and dared him to strike him. HE DOUBLE DOG DARED HIM! Sheamus chants BROGUE, Show closed his eyes to take the kick, so that he could get a free pass at the TLC PPV. Sheamus grabbed Ricardo instead and threw him into the nards of the Big Show. Sheamus celebrates hitting wolfman in the nards as the show ends.
