- The Divas roster, Big E and Teddy Long were in the ring with Kaitlyn and AJ Lee. Teddy said they had already seen the contract, and asked that they sign quickly. AJ grabbed a microphone, and said the sisterhood of the sparkling pants. She said half the girls out there didn’t like her, and half didn’t like Kaitlyn, but none of them cared about the Divas division until she won the Title. She said they could thank her on Sunday, but Teddy interrupted and said they didn’t have time for all that and asked her to wrap it up. 

AJ finally signed it and told Kaitlyn not to do it, because she would embarrass her worse than ever before on Sunday. Kaitlyn blew her off and signed the document. AJ then said she tried to help her, but she didn’t listen. AJ then had a cell phone in her hand, and read off some of the texts that Kaitlyn sent to her fake boyfriend.

Orton reversed an Irish Whip and sent Sheamus toward the steps, but Sheamus stopped himself. Orton caught him with a hard clothesline as he turned around that looked really good…

Sheamus missed a high knee, and Orton hit two clotheslines followed by a powerslam for a two count.

The match ended in an apparent no contest

When Frankie learned his wish to meet WWE Superstar Sheamus was coming true, he said, “I can’t believe I get to meet Sheamus! I love his hair and I think he has the best finishing moves out of all of the Superstars!”

- David Otunga has been talking about the George Zimmerman trial on Headline News this past week.

Video » Sheamus Is Ready To Kick Off “WWE Payback” – “Backstage Fallout” – June 14, 2013

In the SmackDown edition of “Backstage Fallout,” Sheamus talks about how he intends to repay Damien Sandow for Friday Night’s surprise attack. Plus, Heath Slater compares himself to “James and the Giant Peach.”

Matchcard » Payback 2013 » Sheamus Vs Damien Sandow

From WWE.com:

This Sunday, June 16, The Celtic Warrior battles “The Duke of Decency” in a collision of medieval nicknames worthy of “Game of Thrones.” Tune in to the free Kickoff to Payback when it streams live at 7:30 ET/4:30 PT to see heated rivals Sheamus and Damien Sandow settle their differences inside the squared circle!

The past several weeks on SmackDown, in his role as WWE’s self-proclaimed “Intellectual Savior of the Masses,” Sandow posed cerebral challenges in an effort to demonstrate that brains are superior to brawn. Answering the call in contests of mental fortitude such as “Gordian’s Knot,” the Thimblerig Challenge and even a game of chess against the famed super computer “Deep Blue,” Sheamus used his common sense, good humor and no-nonsense physicality in an effort to thwart the smarmy Sandow and his (sometimes rigged) puzzles.

Now that the mental games are over and the stage is set for Sheamus and Sandow to clash in the squared circle, what can the WWE Universe expect from this highly anticipated Kickoff to Payback contest? As one of the most powerful, aggressive Superstars on the WWE roster —in addition to being a three-time World Champion, a former King of the Ring and the 2012 Royal Rumble Match winner —Sheamus is well established as a brawling WWE fan-favorite who hits like a truck. Any match involving The Celtic Warrior is guaranteed to be a hard-hitting, bruising contest, and his opponent’s pompous boasts assure a very motivated Sheamus on Sunday.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Sandow is a true renaissance man who oozes sophistication as one of WWE’s most cultured and refined competitors. “The Lord of Literacy” is never shy to wax poetic about his intellectual and moral superiority. Although the topic of his bragging is often his incredible brainpower, Sandow is also a major threat in the ring, where time and again he has proven to be cagey, opportunistic and dangerous, as was on display when Sandow stunned Sheamus with a brutal attack on the June 7 episode of SmackDown. The arrogant academic will surely need those qualities—and all his wits —when he goes one-on-one with The Celtic Warrior at WWE Payback.

Will WWE’s “Intellectual Savior” usher in a new age of enlightenment at Chicago’s Allstate Arena and confirm that the brain is indeed mightier than brawn? Or will Sheamus prove to the overconfident, haughty Sandow that the problem with having such a big head is that it makes an easy target for a Brogue Kick? Find out when the Kickoff to Payback streams live on WWE.com, the WWE App, YouTube, Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter, Samsung SMART TVs, Google+, Pinterest, Pheed and Xbox 360 this Sunday, June 16, at 7:30 ET/4:30 PT!

Sheamus vs. Antonio Cesaro

They feel each other out and go to mat work. Sheamus goes to a side headlock. Cesaro transitions into a head scissors and they reset. Cesaro sends him in but Sheamus bounces back with a shoulderblock takedown. Cesaro goes behind and takes Sheamus down. Without letting go, Cesaro shows his power by pulling Sheamus back up and hitting a gutwrench slam. Sheamus rolls to the apron and leaps over the top to shoulderblock Cesaro in the ring. Sheamus continues his flurry with strikes in the corner and takes it to Cesaro at ringside. Cesaro gets the advantage back on the apron and he sends Sheamus shoulder-first into the steel post. Cesaro runs down the apron and kicks Sheamus' head right into our living room.

I've been noticing new camera angles in WWE over the past week. They are a refreshing and welcome change. Kevin Dunn's influence as executive producer may be fading. Sheamus is seeing stars on the floor and ringside as we go to break.

We return to action with Cesaro power-slamming Sheamus in the center of the ring. Sheamus kicks out of 2 consecutive covers as we see footage from during the break of Cesaro leaping and double curb-stomping Sheamus on the floor from the apron. Sheamus comes back out of the corner but Cesaro hits a clothesline for 2. Cesaro slaps Sheamus around in the corner and goes to a sleeper as Sheamus fades. Sheamus comes back to life and they trade shots in the center. Sheamus hits the Irish Curse backbreaker as the ref counts both men on the mat. The both make it up and Sheamus goes into a flurry. Sheamus hits his forearm spot in the ropes and sends Cesaro into the post as payback for earlier.

Sheamus flies off the apron with a shoulderblock to the floor. Sheamus sends him back in and they counter each other. Sheamus hits a rolling senton for 2. Sheamus goes up top but Cesaro catches him with an uppercut in mid air for two. That looked impressive. Cesaro flies off the top and drives his knee into Sheamus' face for 2. That looked more impressive. Cesaro locks in a crossface chicken wing and takes it to the mat. Sheamus puts his boot on the bottom rope and the ref forces the break. Cesaro starts to pound Sheamus in the head; Sheamus counters out of the Neutralizer and drops Cesaro across the top turnbuckle. Sheamus hits the Brogue Kick out of the corner and from out of nowhere for the win in a pretty decent television contest.

Winner by pin: Sheamus

WWE Payback » Ambulance Match »Ryback VS John Cena [WWE Championship]

It's funny, I was hoping for either Sheamus/Henry or Orton/Show in an Ambulance match at Extreme Rules, but we're getting the match for Ryback/Cena at Payback instead. I'm sure Ryback/Cena will put on a better Ambulance match than Sheamus/Henry or Orton/Show could've anyway. Like some have said in this thread, Ryback and Cena had a good, intense brawl at Extreme Rules, so this one should be decent. I can't see who wins here though. I predicted a Draw at Extreme Rules, but now what? Cena still shouldn't lose the title just 2 months after gaining redemption and Ryback still can't afford another loss, but another draw would get people really miffed. I guess if anyone needs the win more though, it's Cena. They could always have Ryback win the Money in the Bank and rebuild him again, then have him take the title off of Cena sometime later in the year.

"Result » WWE Saturday Morning Slam - January 19th 2013

Saturday Morning Slam has joined the pantheon of wrestling shows this week by having more than one time slot. We are a half hour later, but that should not mean any change in the type of show we get to see every Saturday morning on the Vortexx.

We are back and Sheamus comes to the ring to talk to the crowd. He welcomes everyone to Saturday Morning Slam. When he grew up in Ireland, he loved watching WWE with his grandmother. He enjoyed watching Randy Savage, Bret Hart, and Shawn Michaels.

Move forward a few years and he is in this ring as a WWE Superstar. There is no greater feeling in the world. He says that he wants his World Title back. He is going to test himself against the biggest, strongest, and fastest Superstar the WWE has ever seen. That person was not available so bring out Michael McGillicutty.

We are back and Michael is still running the ropes while Sheamus watches from ringside. Michael sees Sheamus on the floor and he collapses in the ropes. Sheamus comes to the ring and offers Michael some water. Michael takes a sip and then he realizes that Sheamus is making a joke out of this match.

Michael thinks that he won the match and then Sheamus gets Michael up for White Noise and the three count.

We go to credits.

They have to celebrate the fact that the fat jackass Big Show is no longer World Champion. Then out come Dolph Ziggler, Big E Langston & AJ Lee. Dolph says, “Did somebody say Fiesta?” AJ says that she & Big E love a good party and they’re gonna assume they’re invitation got lost some how. Del Rio asks what they’re doing there. This is his party, Ricardo’s party & the fan’s party. Dolph gets in the & says it’s funny Del Rio should say that. It’s funny that Del Rio thinks think that the fans are his friends.

What’s even funnier is Del Rio thinks that he holds the World Title but he doesn’t. What Del Rio does have is a giant target on his head & Dolph is Mr. Money in the Bank. Dolph then says that Del Rio knows more than anyone what that contract means. It means that whenever Dolph sees fit to cash it in Del Rio will be saying adios to that World Title. Del Rio asks Dolph if he really thinks that he can cash in on Del Rio. Dolph says that he will. Then Dolph says tells his associate Big E Langston, “Meet Alberto Del Rio & say hello to his little friend Ricardo.” Big E says to Ricardo, “Que Pasa little man?” Del Rio tells the 3 of them to get out of there right now. Dolph says they’ll go but maybe first Big E will drop Del Rio where he stands, Dolph cashes his MITB contract & he leaves with the World Title. Del Rio tells him to try it & let’s see what happens.

Then out comes Big Show. Dolph says he doesn’t know how good Del Rio is with math but the champ is out numbered. Then out comes Sheamus. Sheamus calls Dolph, “Ziggles”. Then he says he thought he would come out and help with this numbers situation Dolph was talking about.

Sheamus then says that everyone knows that he can’t resist a Fiesta Del Rio (Even though he & Del Rio were feuding over the title when Sheamus was champion just a few months ago, but we’re supposed to forget that) especially when he has so many of his great friends right here. Sheamus tells “Bertie” that he’s not out there to crash his party. He knows they’ve had their differences in the past (Nice to know they mentioned that). Then Sheamus tells Del Rio they beat each other black and blew “Fella”. Sheamus then says that the last time he was there he even tried to steel Del Rio’s car (He actually did steel it). Then Sheamus says that he came out because he wanted to congratulate Del Rio on his epic victory over the giant last week. Sheamus then tells Del Rio that he has no doubt on his mind that Del Rio deserves to be World Champion. Sheamus then says that it would be an honor for him right now to be the first to shake Del Rio’s hand. They shake hands and then Sheamus says to go along with that he would also like to offer his services tonight as a bouncer for this Fiesta to make sure that none of these Muppets get involved in Del Rio’s party. Del Rio thanks Sheamus and then tells him this is a Fiesta. Del Rio doesn’t want anyone fighting. Sheamus says, “What really?” Then Del Rio says, “Maybe just a little bit.”

Then Can you dig it Sucka hits & out comes GM Booker T. Booker says it ain’t goin down like this. Booker gets in the ring and says that tonight this is a Fiesta. Then Booker wants to be serious for a minute (What is he Lance Storm all of a sudden)? Booker tells Big Show that if he ever puts his hand on him again he will ruin Big Show’s day “Sucka.” Then Booker says that there will be a fight tonight. Big Show will team with Dolph & they will face Sheamus & Del Rio. That match will be the tag team main event extravaganza. Then he asks Big Show, Dolph Langston & AJ to leave the Fiesta because they’re not invited. Big Show gets in Booker’s face for a bit and then the heels walk out. Then Booker asks the fans if they’re ready to party.

 Let’s kick this Fiesta Del Rio off right now. Del Rio tells the muchachos to play some music. They play some music and then Del Rio tells Booker to do a Spinnarooni. Booker does that and he & Booker hug. Then Sheamus is about to exit the ring but Del Rio has him come back in. Del Rio puts a sombrero in the middle of the ring & tells Sheamus to do the Mexican hat dance. Sheamus says that no one wants to see him do that. He tells Del Rio that he has a reputation to keep. Del Rio says that they wanna see Sheamus, well pretty much act like a hokey baby face. Then Sheamus says this is a Fiesta & he dances with the Spanish dancer.

Miz sarcastically says how cleaver that was, using his reallys against him. Miz says this was the first time that they talked in over 2 years & that’s what they say. Rosa says they talk all the time. They were just talking about how much Miz has in common with Ric. It was a short conversation. Primo & Epico say that Flair was a great wrestler & Miz has catchphrases. Miz tells Epico to listen up, but he was talking to Primo. Miz asks who the other guy is. He’s Epico. Miz says that no one cares. He challenges 1 of them to a match tonight. It doesn’t matter which 1. Miz says they should leave it up to than he looks at Rosa and says, “Whatever it is you do.”

Great Khali vs. Tensai

Khali slapped Tensai in the chest a couple of times, per usual. Tensai got aggressive and beat down Khali in the corner. The ref separated them, and Khali caught Tensai with a boot to the face. He followed up with a big chop and got the win.

- Kane & Daniel Bryan are backstage. Daniel doesn’t get why Shelby thought it was a good idea to bring Cody & Sandow into their therapy session Monday on Raw. Then Kane says that speaking of things that aren’t a good idea, what’s with that thing on Cody’s face? Daniel says that some people just don’t get that their facial hair starts to look ridiculous. Kane says, “Tell me about it.” Daniel then asks Kane what he’s trying to say. Kane says nothing. Daniel tells him to say it. Then Kane says no & Daniel says yes. They scream that back & forth at each other for a bit. Then Randy Orton comes in. He’s curious if Kane & Daniel will act like 2nd graders tonight or are they actually interested in delivering some pain to Cody, Sandow & Barrett. Kane says both & walks off. Then Daniel tells Orton that they’re not acting like they’re in second grade. They’re working through their anger issues. Daniel then says that’s something Orton knows a little bit about. Daniel says that he & Kane used to be a lot like Orton, but thanks to Shelby they’re in a better place now. Not only that, they are champions. Daniel asks Orton if he wants to be a champion again. Orton says that he does. Then he says that after he wins the Royal Rumble…Daniel cuts him off & says that tonight is not about the rumble. Orton has to take 1 step at a time. First they win the 6 man tag and then…GROUP HUG! Orton says that he is not much of a hugger. Daniel says that he isn’t yet....

-They show a video package on Mick Foley’s career. This was good. Mick is without a doubt a well deserving first ballot Hall of Famer!

- Time for promo from The Shield. Ambrose: Attention WWE Universe. Rollins: Attention Sheamus. Ambrose: Attention Randy Orton. Reigns: Attention Ryback. Rollins: We are the Shield. Ambrose: On January 14 The Shield crashed Mick Foley’s Hall of Fame announcement and not for nothing but on behalf of all the broken bodies and broken dreams he left in the wake of his Hall of Fame career. Rollins: We spoiled the celebration in the name of justice. Ambrose: Mick you may live denial for the rest of your life. You may deny responsibility for the example set for all the would be super stars, all those kids who sacrificed their bodies in the name of being hardcore. Reigns: Either way we hold you accountable. Rollins: Everyone is accountable. Ryback was held accountable. And now Ryback you want back what we took from you? Reigns: What’s done is done. You’ll never get it back. Rollins: Randy Orton (then he laughs). Ambrose: Randy there are 206 bones in the human body. There are 206 bones in your body. We broke 1. Reigns: We’re just getting started.

- Randy Orton is watching the monitor in his dressing room & then Sheamus comes in. Sheamus says, “Isn’t it funny how The Shield acts so tough when their hidden somewhere in the building where no one can find them?” Then Orton says he doesn’t really find The Shield that funny. He doesn’t think it’s funny how they injured his shoulder and they sure weren’t laughing Wednesday. Sheamus tells Orton that he is sorry that he’s sorry he wasn’t there to help him out Wednesday like he was Monday. Then Orton says that he doesn’t need Sheamus’ help. Sheamus then sarcastically says that Orton’s doing such a great job fighting off The Shield Monday on Raw from his back. Orton says that is why he likes Sheamus because he always has an answer for everything. Orton then says that what will be interesting is that in 2 weeks at the Royal Rumble, Orton needs this win & he’s gonna get it. While Sheamus might have an answer for everything Orton assures Sheamus that he will have no answer for him. This was a good bit. I thought the tension between the 2 here was well done. I still say they should team up with Ryback and face The Shield in a war games Elimination Chamber match, Sheamus & Orton can have more dissention and that can build to their match at WrestleMania.
