WWE Hell in a Cell Preview: Will CM Punk Survive Ryback?

Match #5: World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus vs. Big Show Unlike the forgettable spats between Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio the past few months, the feud between The Great White and The Largest Man in Sports Entertainment has been both memorable and engrossing. Sheamus, always cocksure and energetic, has been able to let his carefree side emerge in this rivalry, taking every opportunity at his disposal to troll Big Show, who has grown increasingly frustrated over the past few weeks at not being taken seriously enough. Like the savvy veteran he is, Show has responded to the Irishman€™s taunting by providing example of his power, interrupting Sheamus€™ matches and proving to him that, although the Brogue Kick is devastating, it cannot reach the Big Show€™s head. For his part, Sheamus has done everything in his power over the past month to prove his toughness in the ring, wrestling two singles matches with Wade Barrett that qualify as instant classics, but can he connect with the Brogue Kick when facing a seven-footer? On Smackdown this past Friday, Show, confidence rising in his voice, seemed content to rest on the faith he has in his right hand. Sheamus similarly vowed that he would do everything he can to chop down the giant and make the Brogue Kick work. These two superstars will no doubt lay waste to each other in the ring, but something tells me that the crafty Irishman will find a way to overcome his first one-on-one match with The Big Show. Winner: Sheamus
