Back in the middle of the ring, the two start traditional mat wrestling once again. Not the brawl we thought this would be to start.

Eventually the two do start going at it. Cesaro gets Sheamus in the corner and lands a knee to the midsection, before Sheamus gets Cesaro into the other corner and hits a running high knee.

Eventually, Cesaro is able to get back onto the offensive and the two spill out onto the floor. After some more brawling, they get back into the ring and Sheamus is back in control. He goes for the top rope, but he gets blasted with an uppercut.

He gets the champ back on the ring and locks in the chin lock in the center of the squared circle. Coming off the ropes, he gets Sheamus in a sleeper hold. The champion tries to make a comeback. but Cesaro hits him with a back body drop.

Sheamus gathers some momentum, but he’s caught with a clothesline from Cesaro, putting him right back down.

Finally Sheamus gets back on the offensive and hits two back breakers on Cesaro, but he can only get a two count. He gets Cesaro to the top rope and flings him off, but again, only a two count.

Cesaro is able to get Sheamus with the uppercut after a missed attempt at the Brogue Kick, but Sheamus gets out of trouble. He goes for another Brogue Kick and gets rolled up but Cesaro can only get two. Two more failed pin attempts follow. Sheamus is the new Cena, basically.

Out of nowhere, Sheamus able to hit the Brogue Kick for the win.

Winner: Still United States Champion, Sheamus
