WWE Championship Match: Sheamus def. Zack Ryder
The ref rings the bell and Sheamus hits the Brogue Kick and makes the pin.
Sheamus grabs the mic and says that was impressive, but now he wants to go over some rules, and says he doesn't have to defend for another 30 days. He says he is talking the night off at Night of Champions, and might even go back to Ireland and ... he gets interrupted by WWE NEXT star Wade Barrett. Barrett says he is right, he doesn't have to defend, but Barrett won WWE NXT, so he gets a shot at a WWE PPV of his choice, and he is taking it at Night of Champions. Cole interrupts again, and he says this email states that Sheamus will defend against Barrett, but that isn't all. The GM says Sheamus spoke of opportunity, and he will give that same opportunity to four other superstars in a Six Pack Challenge. The other participants will be WWE Stars Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Edge and John Cena.
Each one of them makes their way down to the ring and they all surround Sheamus and stare him down. Sheamus shoves Barrett into the middle and they all circle him like Nexus has been doing for weeks. They all start beating him down and Sheamus tosses him out of the ring then turns right around into a Codebreaker by Jericho. Edge hits Jericho with a spear, then Cena hits him with an Attitude Adjustment, and Orton finally RKO's him to end the show.
