Booker T makes his way to the stage and he tells everyone that we will see the World Title defended at Hell in a Cell in two weeks. Big Show will face Sheamus for the first time. Booker says that there is a buzz going around over which is the more devastating maneuver, the Brogue Kick or the Knockout Punch.

Booker introduces a man who needs no introduction, Sheamus.

Booker stands between Show and Sheamus. He says that tonight is all about the Big Show and Sheamus. Booker reminds Show about what they talked about in the locker room. It is not about Hell in a Cell and despite what happened on Monday night, they can let it out on an inanimate object.
