Sheamus defeated Christian Vengeance 2011
Mere days before he stepped in the ring with Christian at Vengeance, Sheamus vowed to WWE.com that his obnoxious rival would be under his boot before the night was over. The Celtic Warrior made good on this promise tonight in San Antonio as he battered the eely Superstar with clubbing forearms and devastating knees before putting the former World Heavyweight Champion away with a destructive Brogue Kick.
The win was an important one for The Great White, but by no means any easy one. Although he acted cowardly in the weeks leading up to Vengeance by routinely sneak attacking Sheamus during the Irishman’s bouts, Christian came to the AT&T Center tonight to fight. Using all his veteran wiles against his younger opponent, the experienced grappler repeatedly stopped The Celtic Warrior just as the Superstar was building up serious momentum. The crafty competitor even connected with a huge spear that nearly put Sheamus away for the three count. It was a reminder to the locker room that Christian may be cunning, but he is not a chicken.

Christian Dropped His Lawsuit Against WWE
Gearing up to serve as the Special Guest Referee in the blockbuster SummerSlam main event to decide the Undisputed WWE Champion WWE’s Chief Operating Officer Triple H journeyed to SmackDown. Pledging to continue to make WWE exciting and unpredictable he announced a slew of explosive SmackDown match ups for later in the show. Christian emerged to inform Triple H that putting him in a career threatening no holds barred match at SummerSlam against the mentally unstable Randy Orton was creating an unsafe work environment for him. He threatened that if WWE’s did not remove that stipulation from the World Title showdown he was going sue WWE and just about everybody else associated with the event. But when Triple H threatened to fire him from the contract and take back the World Title Christian opted to drop the lawsuit. He pledged instead to defeat Randy Orton at SummerSlam match preview and whomever Triple H puts him in a match with tonight. That Superstar would be Sheamus.
