WWE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
SHEAMUS VS JOHN CENA
BANK ROBBERY
...After climbing the metal behemoth, Cena began his descent and attempted to drop to the floor for the win. Unfortunately for him, The Nexus were there en masse to stop him, preventing his sneakers from reaching the floor. As Cena struggled to touch terra firma, The Celtic Warrior surpassed him, having scrambled down the steel entrapment on the other side and placed his boots squarely on the ground. There was no time to celebrate, however, since Nexus chased him off in the wake of his victory. While the Irishman beat a hasty retreat, his rival stuck around to punish several members of Nexus.
Despite Cena's best efforts, The Nexus had once again thwarted his aspirations and deprived him of the WWE Championship.
And once again, Sheamus was there to reap the rewards.
