Survivor
Series Team Captains Randy Orton and Wade Barrett faced off (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Wearing
a neck brace – supposedly the result of a chokeslam at the hands of Big
Show one week ago – Christian interrupted a heated exchange between
recently named Survivor Series Team Captains Randy Orton and Wade
Barrett (MATCH PREVIEW).
Things quickly turned physical as The Viper engaged both Superstars.
The two-on-one struggle inspired Sheamus to charge to the ring and even
the odds.
As a result of the altercation, SmackDown General
Manager Theodore Long ordered an immediate rematch between Sheamus and
Christian – a showdown originally scheduled for one week ago. He also
made an monumental main event between Barrett and Orton.

Just
one week after Wade Barrett triumphed over Sheamus, "The Barrett
Barrage" gained shocking momentum – as the tough English Superstar
scored a stunning victory over opposing Survivor Series Team Captain and
nine-time World Champion Randy Orton.
When Barrett countered The
Viper's RKO by pushing Orton forward, the referee was forced to duck
out of the way to avoid a collision. His split-second loss of focus
opened the door for the aggressive Brit to hit his prey with a thumb to
the eye, before rolling the disoriented Orton up for the extremely
important win.
