Show says he did what he said he would do, KO him and walk out with the title. Show says not to boo him for telling the truth. Show says the fight took him to levels he didn’t know he was capable of, but Sheamus made him realize how much he wanted the title. Show says he now has no limits, and if Sheamus wants another war, Sheamus will be slaughtered. Show says he will enjoy knocking the smile off of Sheamus’ face, and calls him a GINGER SNAP!
