NEW ORLEANS – Despite a potent offense from Christian, Sheamus crushed his adversary with a devastating Brogue Kick to the skull for the win.

With the victory, Sheamus kept his pre-match promise to put Christian beneath his boot. (WATCH)

As the two Superstars engaged in a cutthroat battle for supremacy, Christian blasted The Celtic Warrior with a hard-hitting spear outside the ring, followed by another brutal spear in the ring. But after missing a third spear – and crashing hard into the steel ring post – Christian was left vulnerable. Sensing blood in the water, The Great White struck quickly with the Brogue Kick.

Before the match began, fired WWE Superstars The Miz and R-Truth were spotted at ringside, flashing tickets to WWE Hell in a Cell. But, WWE EVP John Laurinaitis was having none of it. With WWE security personnel in tow, Laurinaitis came to ringside to have the two escorted from their seats.

Will this defeat finally silence Christian and his pleas for “one more match”? What is next from the dangerous Great White? Find out on Friday’s SmackDown at 8/7 CT on SyFy.
