– Commercial
Mark Cuban with a huge table set up in the ring and him at a podium in the middle. Cuban announces Sheamus first. Heat for Sheamus. Cuban then happily announces Cena who comes out. Sheamus glares as Cena comes out and gets in the ring. Cuban says he’ll ask three question and each will get an opportunity to answer. Nothing is off limits. He asks Sheamus why he feels he’ll win on Sunday. Sheamus says June 27, 2002 Cena made his debut. It took him three years to win his first WHC. What took him years will take Sheamus weeks. He’s never been beaten, ever. He’s obsessed with hearing Cena go through a table and will hear it again on Sunday. Cuban asks Cena who has no comment. Cuban asks Sheamus about being worried about the dangers of competing in a Tables Match. Sheamus says Cena’s not worried enough.
Cena said he’s cashing in his rematch clause at TLC, if he needs to. If Cena thinks he’ll be in any condition to do that after Sheamus is done with him, he’s dumber than Sheamus thought. Cuban asks Cena, but Sheamus’s not finished. She said the best case scenario is Cena loses. Worst he will go through a table twice and watch his backbone shatter. He’s never faced anyone like Sheamus. His title, health, state of mind, he’ll lose everything. Cena looks pissed as he whips the mic out to talk. “Cena” chants from women and children. Then Cena says no comment. Cuban then says the time will be over to talk at TLC, is there anything you’d like to say. Sheamus jumped in, but Cena cut him off with a question for Sheamus. Sheamus glares. Cena couldn’t help but notice Sheamus talks a lot and can only hope he believes what he’s saying. 2002, Cena’s been there for seven years. Cena nods at this thought. Seven years he’s faced champions, to number one contenders to up starts to one hit wonders to future hall of famers! He’s faced everyone from HBK to K-Fed. All of them like Sheamus.
Never once has Cena looked for a fight, they’ve all made Cena the target. He’s always been the man to beat to become the Champion or put your name on the map. A lot of times he was the mat to beat because they wanted to wipe the smile off his face. Cena smiled at him. A lot of guys like Sheamus said they’d end his career, take his title and Cena’d never be the same. Seven years, he’s been beaten, battered, hospitalized, been operated on, smashed with chairs, put through glass, kicked in the skull, in arenas where thousands of people stand behind him – cheers from women and children – been in arenas where people can’t stand him – huge heat from the men. In seven years he’s never given up.
