Sheamus makes his way to the ring, seemingly pumped up and left un-affected by the brutal match he had with the Big Show at Hell in a Cell. He says he's standing out there without the title around his waist, but he's still got a smile on his face. He says he's disappointed, because nobody likes to lose. But he tells the Big Show he was the better man last night, even though it took two K.O. Punches to knock him out. Sheamus says he didn't come to the WWE to always win, he came to fight, and last night was the greatest fight of his entire life. Sheamus says the next time he steps into the ring with Big Show, it's not going to be a fight or a battle, it's going to be an all-out war.
The Big Show makes his way out, the new World Heavyweight Champion. Big Show says he knows why Sheamus is smiling. It's because he's hiding the truth, that Sheamus gave him everything he had. Show says the Brogue Kick wasn't enough, and Sheamus still came up short in their match. He says their battle took him to levels he didn't think he was still capable of. Show says Sheamus made him realize he doesn't have any limits; he's like bringing a glass of water to a burning building. Sheamus picks up the Big Show and lands White Noise, leaving the World Champion laying in the ring with his title.
