00:00Tonight is my night to bring out the worst in them.
00:21I will find pleasure in their pain and make evil things happen.
00:30I am Hell in a Cell.
00:36Tonight, the world's strongest champion and the venomous Viper tear each other apart.
00:44When I come back from Hell, I'll be bringing the World Heavyweight Championship with me.
00:51I'm gonna end his career.
00:59Tonight, for the first time ever, a triple threat match will enter.
01:06Hell will be unleashed.
01:08I will stare Satan dead in the face, scream at the top of my lungs.
01:12Is that all you got?
01:14I am leaving with the WWE Championship.
01:17I'm bringing Hell with me.
01:18It is my destiny to eat the hell out of me.
01:22And only one surviving soul will emerge as champion.
01:28Tonight, these mortal men must endure by torture to rise up hell.
01:38So if they haven't already, they better start.
01:44Ah!
01:45Ah!
01:46Crain.
01:47Prop.
01:482.
01:57WWE.
01:58Hell in a Cell.
02:00in a cell.
02:24Welcome to the one time all year.
02:27The superstars literally
02:28go through hell.
02:30Inside hell in a cell.
02:33You are looking live at the New Orleans Arena.
02:35A stone's throw from the French Quarter
02:37on a night where four titles
02:39will be up for grabs.
02:53Hello again everybody at ringside.
02:55I'm Michael Cole joined by the legendary
02:57Booker T and Hall of Famer's Jim Ross.
02:59Guys, how excited are y'all?
03:01Man, I'm telling you, tonight it's about Hell in a Cell.
03:03Who is gonna make it through Hell in a Cell?
03:05That is your question Cole.
03:07There are no winners in Hell in a Cell, only Survivors.
03:10The most unpredictable matches of the entire year.
03:13And of course, Jerry the King Lawler not with us tonight.
03:15Still recovering from injuries suffered at the hands of Mark Henry.
03:19It's a great feeling.
03:20I'm going to be on the Cell.
03:21I'm going to be on the Cell.
03:23I'm going to be on the Cell.
03:24You're so good.
03:25You're so good.
03:25I'll be on the Cell.
03:25Well JR for Christian tonight, it really is an opportunity to settle things with the great wife, Sheamus.
03:41Well, you know what, as far as Sheamus is concerned, I would think he would think that
03:45Christian is a rash that just won't go away because on two occasions in the past six days,
03:52Christian has cost the money, and watch this right here.
03:55You'll see Christian interfere as Sheamus about to win the Intercontinental title.
04:01Good shot, and then the kill switch.
04:05There is reproducing on the mind of the big Irishman.
04:09How does that feel, Sheamus?
04:14And again, it was twice within a week period that Christian.
04:18Wait a minute, is that?
04:22It is, look, it's Miz, Miz and R-Truth are here.
04:25You gotta be kidding, what are they doing here?
04:27Well, they were fired by Triple H a couple of weeks ago, but-
04:32They have tickets.
04:33Wait a minute, okay, they got tickets.
04:35And there's Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, John Laronitis.
04:39Woo!
04:47We're going to kick him out, we're going to kick him out, we're going to kick him out,
05:17we're going to kick him out, we're going to kick him out, we're going to kick him out.
05:47We'll kick him out, we'll kick him out, we'll kick him out, we're going to kick him out.
05:54I believe Mizanar Truth guys had tickets yet, Executive Vice President of Town Relations, John Leonidas, had them escorted out of the arena.
06:09Also joining us at ringside tonight, our Spanish commentators, Carlos Cabrera and Marcelo Rodriguez, interested to see what they have to say about the Mizanar Truth.
06:19My friends, for the first time in history, the champion of the WDW in the triple threat in the Zelda Infernal.
06:25But I worry about the health of the competitors here.
06:27Everyone will suffer the implacable impact of this history.
06:30And also the strongest champion of the world will win the Zelda Infernal.
06:34That's right.
06:35J.R., you've been around to Civil War.
06:37So my question is, R. Truth and Miz, they had tickets, but they were kicked out of the arena.
06:42Have you ever seen that before?
06:44Well, in my last week with U.S.S. Brand, he would have said, let him stay.
06:48Well, nonetheless, let's get us to action here.
06:50The great white Seamus set to take on Christian in a retribution matchup.
06:54Seriously, Michael, I don't know how legally Mr. Laurinaitis could remove Miz and R-Truth from the arena if they had tickets.
07:01I agree with you on that.
07:02I mean, he's talking about lawsuits.
07:03That might be one right there.
07:05Well, sometimes it is left up to the discretion of the promoters, so to speak, to see who comes into the arena.
07:11And as this matchup gets underway, we'd like to welcome all of you watching this matchup all over the world tonight live in places like the United Kingdom and Sky box office in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, and Germany.
07:28Let me tell you something. The significance of this match right here, if Christian lose this match, where is it gonna put him?
07:35Is it gonna put him at the back of the line? Is it gonna put his psyche in a place that he's not gonna know exactly what's happening?
07:41Let me tell you, if Christian lose tonight, it could be all over for it.
07:44You know, the rivalry between these two gentlemen actually started over the summer where Sheamus, in his mind, blamed Christian for costing him the World Heavyweight Championship.
07:52Hence, uh, the reason that Christian has been costing Sheamus some matches over the past number of weeks.
07:56That's exactly what happened though, Cole.
07:58Well, they can stop playing the blame game and compete. Settling the ring on the boardroom.
08:03And there's the power of Sheamus for cover of the matchup and continues the pressure with the headlock.
08:10And there's Sheamus a two-time WWE Champion, big, rugged, powerful man, almost to the side handle off, pinning his adversary, using that weight advantage.
08:19Weight and power and strength, Sheamus brings that raise in North Great George Street in Dublin.
08:25Let me tell you, Sheamus is just leaning on this boy, Christian, right now. No Christian is a late-game player.
08:31So tonight, right now, Sheamus is trying to slow this boy down early.
08:35Well, what does Christian have to do to overcome that weight advantage that JR was talking about?
08:39I'm gonna tell you one thing about Christian. Christian always got his cardio effect totally, totally always there.
08:44But tonight, Sheamus, I'm gonna tell you, this kid right here has been showing me something since day one.
08:50Cover hook of the leg, and Christian. Whoa, almost got it right there.
08:52The more thing about him, Booker, cutting to the chase is that Christian can't stay in front of Sheamus.
08:57Christian's got to hit and move, use his technique, his leverage.
09:01Sheamus is too big, too strong for Christian to fight with.
09:04In other words, JR, Christian needs to stay on this bicycle tonight.
09:08Just like he's doing here, trying to stay out of harm's way with Sheamus giving chase.
09:12You pedal away until you get a shot.
09:14Let me tell you, that's smart on Christian's behalf, just creating a little bit of space.
09:18But tonight, Sheamus means business.
09:20Yeah, but how smart was it for Christian to slap Sheamus and make the Great Weight even angrier?
09:25I think he's just trying to agitate Sheamus, trying to get Sheamus out of his game plan early.
09:29Leverage right there, but you know, Sheamus is the kind of athlete that will take two shots just to get his one in.
09:37You know, I agree with you on that. Sheamus is that type of guy that goes in there and goes straight up man-to-man, toe-to-toe, just like he's doing right now.
09:45This is Sheamus' wheelhouse. Straight ahead, smash man. And Christian cannot understand this.
09:53And Sheamus could be disqualified here. He's got to watch the count from the referee.
09:57Got a five count. Got a brick on four, disqualified on five.
10:00Again, a cover by Sheamus, hook of the leg on Christian, who powers out at two.
10:04Let me tell you right now, I'm sure Sheamus is thinking about just going out here beating on this boy, Christian.
10:09Just beat this boy down in this first half. Not too much thinking about getting the pinfall.
10:14But there's Christian, the shrewd veteran, former two-time world champion.
10:18Check this out right here.
10:19The power of Sheamus.
10:20A lot of power, a lot of strength.
10:22Look at the smile on Sheamus right there.
10:23This kid right here just, he's loving every bit of this fight.
10:27And that's what I like about it.
10:28Well, Sheamus is confident.
10:29And keep in mind, Christian cost him the Intercontinental Championship twice in five days.
10:34We know what this means right here.
10:35Sheamus going up for that.
10:37Great move by Christian.
10:39Whoa.
10:40That's a ring savvy, the awareness of the veteran Christian.
10:44Now gaining an advantage as Sheamus put himself in a little bit of jeopardy there.
10:48Make no mistake about it, Christian is a real new veteran.
10:51And Sheamus fell right on the back of his neck.
10:53I'm gonna tell you, that's gonna affect him late in the game, guys.
10:56Well, these two men know each other so well.
10:59Sheamus is going for the flying battering ram, and Christian was able to counter.
11:02And now it's Christian in control.
11:04Christian will have this match well scouted.
11:06He'll have a great game plan.
11:08Christian, check this out right here.
11:10This is what Christian turned his whole thing around.
11:12Look at Sheamus, my goodness.
11:15And look at Christian hammering away on Sheamus.
11:18Wants to be careful not to get into a slugfest, but Sheamus will not go down.
11:22Christian cannot win a slugfest, but he does have the advantage after Sheamus went to the floor.
11:27I'm gonna tell you, Sheamus has heard, he's feeling it right there.
11:33Christian needs to move in and take full advantage of it.
11:37But right now, he better win it too long.
11:40And that's the thing about Sheamus.
11:41He's always on offense.
11:42He's always coming at you.
11:44And Christian needs to try to avoid that.
11:47Try to slow the momentum of Sheamus throughout this matchup.
11:52Oh, nice elbow by Christian.
11:54That's what I'm talking about.
11:55Need to take this big Irishman off his feet, because I'm gonna tell you,
11:58if that boy Sheamus gets Christian with that Irish hand grenade, it could be all over with.
12:04And Christian, looking for a sleeper hold on Sheamus.
12:07An equalizing maneuver.
12:09Oh!
12:10Until that.
12:11Man, that was his power.
12:13That rang the bell of Christian.
12:15Beautiful counter.
12:16And Sheamus, you saw the sense of urgency.
12:19He felt that sleeper applied.
12:21And applied well.
12:22I'm gonna tell you, Sheamus is still feeling the back of that neck.
12:25I'm telling you, he's hurting.
12:26He's hurting, man.
12:27But check this out right here.
12:28Turn about his fair play.
12:30Check out Christian's eyes right there.
12:32He might have been out for a second.
12:34Well, Christian, one of those superstars who's been very outspoken of Triple H's leadership or lack thereof is COO.
12:41I'm gonna tell you, Christian's gonna cry, man.
12:43He'll cry at the drop of a hat, man.
12:45So that really means nothing.
12:47Well, Christian spoke out on Raw, and look where it got him.
12:49A match with John Cena Monday night.
12:51On Friday night, a match with Randy Orton.
12:53And tonight, a match with Sheamus.
12:55So what are you saying?
12:56I'm wondering, too.
12:57I'm saying that I believe, in my mind, Triple H punished Christian for speaking his mind about the leadership around here.
13:03I don't understand the logic of punishing someone for putting them in main events where the big money lies.
13:07I don't get that.
13:08Look at Christian just, look, he's staying at arms length away from Sheamus.
13:12Smart.
13:13And right back on the attack for the 215-pounder, 6'2", two-time world champion, three-time Intercontinental champion, nine-time tag team champion.
13:25May not be real judicious to waste any time for a man like Sheamus.
13:29Any way you look at it, guys, I'm gonna tell you right now, Christian is crafty.
13:32The guy knows every inch of that ring.
13:34If Sheamus get out of position, he could be over with.
13:37Well, look at Sheamus.
13:38Continues to just come back, come back, come back.
13:41You see that right there, Christian?
13:43Let Sheamus create that space and took advantage of, oh, did you see that?
13:47Drop kick.
13:48Yeah, this little drop kick by Christian.
13:49Kick at it.
13:50Not even one that time.
13:51Second time that Christian has used the ropes for additional leverage.
13:55Christian around 215, Sheamus close to 270.
13:58I'm gonna tell you, you're exactly right, John, with that extra leverage right there.
14:03Christian might have weighed about 235 coming off that rope.
14:07Look at Sheamus.
14:08He just keeps coming at you.
14:10You don't wanna make Sheamus angry, you pay a heavy price.
14:14That's why I didn't understand the strategy.
14:16Christian slapped up in the face.
14:17This is a fight.
14:18This is a fight right here just broke out.
14:20And Sheamus is the best at that.
14:22Look at the eye.
14:23That tells the holy story.
14:25The eyes never lie, Cole.
14:27And like I said, Sheamus will take a hell of a beating just to get his one or two in.
14:33That's what he's done here.
14:35Tougher than a $2 stake is Sheamus.
14:38God.
14:39Oh, man.
14:40I had that stake this morning at Denny's.
14:43And look at this.
14:44Sheamus planting Christian cover yet again.
14:47Two count, Christian powers out another near fall for Sheamus.
14:51That was a very, very close near fall.
14:53Christian had a hard time negotiating his way out of that pinning predicament.
14:58Again, Christian.
15:03Christian almost got set up for that bro kick.
15:06That's been a big mistake for Christian.
15:08The raw power of Sheamus, but Christian again counters.
15:11And Sheamus in trouble.
15:13Christian was perhaps going for the kill switch that we saw earlier.
15:17He hit on Sheamus Friday night.
15:18I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm looking at Sheamus,
15:20and it seems like the cardio is kicking in right now.
15:23He's feeling every bit of this match right now.
15:25I'll tell you, quite honestly,
15:26Sheamus has not been quite the same since he was knocked off the top turnbuckle.
15:31Christian keeps coming at you.
15:33This time caught by Sheamus.
15:35Wait a minute.
15:36Oh, and a backbreaker planting the knee to the spine.
15:39Can Sheamus put Christian away here off the two count?
15:42Christian has to power out again.
15:45Sheamus a little bit of a far away look in his eye.
15:47I think that shot from the turnbuckle to the floor
15:50is taking something out of Sheamus.
15:51Lackadaisical is what Sheamus is looking like right now.
15:54Sheamus needs to keep his eye on the prize,
15:56and the prize is right in front of him.
15:58And that's Christian.
15:59Oh, my goodness.
16:00This could be it right here.
16:02Yeah.
16:03Respectfully disagree, Booker.
16:04I don't think his Lackadais look full at all.
16:06Easier for me to say.
16:07Oh, man, those big right hands are getting into Sheamus.
16:10And Christian all fired up.
16:11You see how he pumped his fist as he connected?
16:13Wait a minute.
16:14Christian's going up top and got caught in midway through.
16:17Same thing that happened to Sheamus earlier that he paid for taking a trip to the top.
16:24This could be a mistake right here.
16:26Normally don't see Sheamus on that top rope in this position right here.
16:30Man, what a shot to the temple.
16:31And he paid for it.
16:32And look at Christian sucking Sheamus in and connecting.
16:36You're exactly right, Cole.
16:38He's sucking Sheamus in with the greatest of ease, and it was beautiful.
16:42Check this out right here.
16:43He's going to blow by.
16:44That's it.
16:45Tornado DDT.
16:46Christian capitalize.
16:47Christian crawling toward the cover slowly.
16:51Christian got it.
16:52I can't believe it.
16:53Oh, and Sheamus didn't even allow a count to happen.
16:56Well, check this out right here.
16:57Christian just lured that boy Sheamus in.
16:59And he almost took him out right there with that big kick.
17:03Wow.
17:04I'll tell you, like I say, Christian, one of the most craftiest individuals I ever seen in the middle of that ring.
17:09And again, Christian looking to put Sheamus away perhaps with his finishing maneuver known as the kill switch.
17:15Sending Sheamus up center of the ring.
17:17Christian may have him here.
17:18What a win this would be.
17:19Whoa.
17:20Oof.
17:26Is the pace where Sheamus wants it right now, Cole?
17:28I don't think so.
17:29I think the pace is so fast right now.
17:31But Sheamus, like I say, his gas tank is almost on end.
17:34If Sheamus don't do something quick, trust me.
17:36Look it, look it, look it.
17:37Look it.
17:38Exactly what I'm talking about.
17:39Christian just, he will aggravate you.
17:41He will nag you by any means necessary.
17:44Christian is one of the best in the game, trust me.
17:46But again, Sheamus, you knew he was going outside the apron to go up to the top rope again for that flying, battering ram.
17:51And Christian didn't allow it to happen.
17:53Christian just nagging Sheamus right there.
17:56Trying to just make it a big shape.
17:57Look at that.
17:58Look at that.
17:59Look at that agility.
18:00Did you see that?
18:01The aging agility from huge.
18:03And there it is.
18:04Wow.
18:05You gotta be kidding me.
18:08Momentum has changed.
18:11Maybe Sheamus got that second win right now.
18:14Sheamus is feeling it.
18:23Sheamus thinking broke it.
18:25And Christian, the veteran, had it well scouted.
18:29Ooh, and look at the shoulder to the gut.
18:32Big shoulder to the gut right there too.
18:34Where we going here?
18:35Didn't even match up so far, but every time Christian tries to put Sheamus away,
18:39Sheamus keeps getting back into this thing.
18:41Oof.
18:42Wow.
18:43Unforgiving ring apron, snapping Sheamus in the face.
18:46I gotta say, Christian is looking better than I ever seen him look better.
18:49Once.
18:50Wait a minute.
18:51Once.
18:52Ooh.
18:53Nice flat.
18:55The spine of Christian on the floor here in New Orleans.
19:00I'm gonna tell you, there's no sympathy for that big red man right there.
19:04Ooh.
19:05He's just laying it on Sheamus.
19:06Oh man.
19:07A spear by Christian outside the ring.
19:10And if it was falls count anywhere, maybe Christian can win the three count.
19:14Wow.
19:15And Christian, but he can't go for the cover there, but perhaps he can pick up and
19:18count out victory.
19:19Sheamus was in total control into that right there.
19:22I'm gonna tell you, that's what I'm talking about as far as Christian goes.
19:25He will get you by any means necessary.
19:27You just saw it.
19:28Look at the referee now, and a count of seven.
19:30It's over.
19:31A win is a win.
19:32Wow.
19:33But Sheamus, and look at Christian.
19:35Christian cannot believe that Sheamus made it into that count of eight.
19:38Oh, that's it right there.
19:39Spear, and you can believe this, though you can't.
19:42Oh.
19:43Oh, the toughness.
19:44The raw toughness of Sheamus, and Christian cannot believe what has transpired.
19:49Let me tell you, Christian looked like he was complaining about it.
19:52That was a slow count right there, I think.
19:55Well, frustration beginning to burn inside Christian.
19:59He's thrown two spears at Sheamus, and he hasn't been able to put the great one away.
20:04You know, that's the one point that Christian cannot combat is the heart of that man, Sheamus.
20:09Big risk.
20:10Big chance.
20:11No payday.
20:14Uh-oh.
20:15Wait a minute.
20:16Could be the opening that Sheamus needs here.
20:18Christian up for the kill, the cross, and again, Christian counters.
20:21Great counter.
20:22That was a great counter.
20:23This is it.
20:24Grit for the kill switch, and again, this time Christian.
20:28Nobody home.
20:29Oh, no.
20:30Kick.
20:31Oh, what a shot.
20:32That's gotta be it.
20:33Sheamus.
20:35Man.
20:38What a victory.
20:40Here's your winner, Sheamus.
20:42What a victory for Sheamus here tonight.
20:47Over a very game Christian.
20:49Christian tried everything he could, including two spears, to put Sheamus away.
20:54But it wasn't gonna happen here tonight in New Orleans.
20:57You're exactly right, Christian was totally game here tonight.
21:01But that man right there, that Celtic warrior, was ready for everything.
21:05Check this out right here.
21:06This is the first spear right here.
21:07Christian almost got a count out right there.
21:10Was gonna let it hang out.
21:12But check this out.
21:13That was the second one.
21:14And Christian thought he had it for the one, two, three.
21:17Christian kept looking for the kill switch.
21:20But he couldn't find it.
21:21Couldn't quite connect.
21:22And then, the ring pose and boom.
21:25Wow.
21:26A double whammy, if you will.
21:28What a shot.
21:29And all that-
21:31Very competitive matchup.
21:34Two highly skilled individuals in my opinion.
21:37Like you see that shot, all it took was one, one big shot from that Celtic warrior.
21:42And it was all over it.
21:43I'll tell you something, that is one tough Irishman.
21:49The champ has proven a lot here tonight.
21:51The kickoff, hell in a cell.
21:54Huge victory over Christian.
21:56Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the reigning heavyweight champion, and the world's strongest
22:10man, Mark Henry.
