At Hell in a Cell, Sheamus will face literally the biggest challenge of his nearly seven-month World Heavyweight Championship reign when he takes on Big Show.

The World’s Largest Athlete earned the title opportunity by defeating Randy Orton on SmackDown. (The Viper was reeling from a backstage assault by Alberto Del Rio). Now, Big Show is in line for the same title that he lost in 45 seconds last December.

The Sheamus vs. Big Show matchup carries major intrigue. The Celtic Warrior and The World’s Largest Athlete have never crossed paths in singles competition, and the WWE Universe is salivating to see WWE’s two most destructive super-heavyweights lock horns. Also, both Superstars possess knockout power: Sheamus prefers booting opponents’ heads off with the Brogue Kick, while Big Show caves in faces with the WMD. Will one of these lethal strikes prove more damning than the other?

Moreover, Big Show has a big chip on his shoulder, and it relates directly to the title around Sheamus’ waist. Big Show had almost no time to celebrate his World Heavyweight Championship win over Mark Henry at WWE Tables, Ladders and Chairs event last year, thanks to Daniel Bryan, who cashed in his Money in the Bank championship contract unannounced and ended Big Show’s reign in less than a minute. The irony is that Bryan went on to lose that same title to Sheamus in a blistery 18 seconds at WrestleMania XXVIII. Big Show now seems almost embarrassed that The Celtic Warrior so handily dismantled the very Superstar who beat him in less than 60 seconds.

Since winning the Royal Rumble Match in January, Sheamus has carved out a niche of invincibility. With Big Show entering the title picture just now, is it possible that The Great White has only appeared unbeatable because he has avoided the biggest dog in the hunt? On SmackDown, Big Show described himself as the only Superstar on the roster capable of defeating Sheamus, and no matter how much the “Sons of Sheamus” may disagree, Big Show could have a point.

Over the course of this summer, The Celtic Warrior’s double-tough constitution allowed him to survive multiple sneak attacks by Del Rio (and, in turn, prolonged exposure to The Mexican Aristocrat’s Cross Armbreaker). Sheamus also matched wits with veteran Chris Jericho, and he overcame super-heavyweight Tensai. But as the World Heavyweight Champion, The Great White has not encountered the punching power of Big Show. Sheamus’ grit and determination have been put to the test repeatedly, but his jaw has not yet been the target of Big Show’s precision strike.

That is not to say the dominant World Heavyweight Champion is anything but eager to test himself against the angry giant. After all, The Celtic Warrior knows a thing or two about knockout power. As the keeper of the Brogue Kick, Sheamus has blown by one challenger after another.

In Big Show, however, Sheamus faces a taller hurdle than ever before. The World Heavyweight Champion’s prized finishing maneuver might not even reach the 7-footer’s jawline, let alone prove effective against the monster. If the Brogue Kick fails to connect, can Sheamus rely on his other offensive options, such as the Cloverleaf submission hold or the White Noise, to do the trick? It is hard enough to picture Sheamus lacing his arms around the massive tree-trunk legs of Big Show, never mind positioning the 440-plus-pounder for the inverse slam known as White Noise.

Until the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, the WWE Universe can only speculate about the possibilities. On Oct. 28, at 8 ET/5 PT, 17 years to the month that Big Show debuted and won the WCW Championship, The World’s Largest Athlete will again try to score championship gold. Has Sheamus finally met his match?

Well at least it isn't Sheamus Vs. Del Rio again. Good God that was beyond being old.
this. Also this could be the time Ziggler cashes in. One of two things can happen.

1.Sheamus wins, celebrates, Show gets back up hits WMD. Ziggler runs out but Shows knocks him out too leading to no cash in.
2.Shemuss wins, etc etc, but this time Show leaves or lets Ziggler cash in and then wants a match at Survivor Series

Re: Spoiler - WHC Title Match Revealed On SD

Inside Hell In A Cell? Awesome. I can't wait to see Sheamus vs. Big Show tear each other apart because they obviously hate each others guts and have been feuding for months which means they totally have a reason to have the Hell In A Cell stipulation put on them to serve as the blow off.

Wait.

Hmm, they could have waited a few more weeks before anouncing this.
But I'll give it a chance, I wish it was the HIAC stipulation though, That match is supposed to be for legends and BIG feuds.
We'll see what happpens though.
If Ziggler walks out with the belt after cashing in, I will be very happy.

Would be even better if Show wins Sheamus and has another 10 second reign :lmao

Re: Spoiler - WHC Title Match Revealed On SD

I think it could be O.K. Tensai vs. Sheamus was entertaining because it was two big guys beating each other till one stayed down. Big Show will be basically the same. Also it's pretty easy to hide the fact that these two can't put on the most intricate wrestling performance by throwing in a couple of big spots like breaking the cell, climbing to the top ect. Both these guys can take big hits.

I'm not saying it'll be MotN, but I'm optimistic that it wont be bad. And this has the sort of pseudo-epic qualities for Sheamus to overcome that it would be a good time for Ziggler to cash in maybe.

Then again this is the last free PPV of the year in the U.K so I'm probably just being desperately optimistic.

One more rematch would've been justified since they would've had a stipulation for a change and Del Rio would've had credibility since he could've rubbed in the fact that he won his first HIAC while Sheamus lost his!

Re: Spoiler - WHC Title Match Revealed On SD

i will actually enjoy this. These two seem to fit in a Hell In A Cell match together for some reason. Though god knows how this feud will be HIAC worthy in 5 weeks when they've just started feuding. They have 3 hour Raws and 5 more smackdowns to build it up. We'll see.

Re: Spoiler - WHC Title Match Revealed On SD

Looking forward to this, Sheamus and Big Show should work well together especially in the Cell and it should help put Sheamus over even more. There is a lot of talk at the moment about who can take up Cena's spot as face of the company, for me Sheamus can easily do this and a long title reign and victory over Show in the Cell could put him over massively.
