WWE Champion Sheamus def. Zack Ryder; Raw’s General Manager announced Six Pack Challenge at Night of Champions (PHOTOS | WATCH: PART 1 | PART 2)
The Celtic “Worrier?” Perhaps WWEChampion Sheamus was too concerned about facing one of WWE’s elite Superstars or maybe he’s got a soft spot for Long Island. Whatever the reason, the Irishman chose to defend his title against Zack Ryder, not on pay-per-view, but on Raw.
The Celtic “Worrier?” Perhaps WWE
A grateful Ryder thanked Sheamus for the opportunity before having his face kicked in and getting pinned inside of a mere 11 seconds. Woo, Woo, Woo. You know it!
After the match, there were several understandably irate Superstars, including Wade Barrett. The leader of The Nexus informed The Celtic Warrior that at Night of Champions, he would invoke the title opportunity he earned after winning season one of WWE NXT. Before the rivalry between England and Ireland could escalate, the Raw General Manager had a few points to make.
Sheamus would indeed defend his title against Barrett, the GM assured. However, he would also defend against four other Superstars in a Six Pack Challenge. Rounding out the field, the GM chose Chris Jericho,Randy Orton, Edge and John Cena. As each man stood wearily in the ring, the mistrust proved overwhelming and the six set out attacking one another, leaving only The Viper to stand tall after an emphatic RKO to Cena. The tension between the sextet assures that Night of Champions is also sure to be a night to remember.

That throne must really be comfy. After all, WWE Champion Sheamus, who has a penchant for involving himself where he doesn’t belong, actually stayed out of the Triple Threat Match between Randy Orton, John Morrison and Ted DiBiase.

The triumvirate of Superstars competed for the potential opportunity to be chosen by the Irishman to battle him in a title match at Night of Champions. During the bout, Sheamus actually exited to deliberate before announcing who he would face in four weeks. When the carnage was complete, it was The Viper who had snaked past his competition to secure the win.
