With that said, “The Celtic Warrior’s” music hits and the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion makes his way down to the ring.
There was a timer on the big screen as well as on the television screen counting down from that mark.
Sheamus showed he was paying attention in all those Randy Orton matches by locking in a chin lock, which was logical given that his character is trying to kill time.

Reigns was named the winner of the match by disqualification. King Barrett joined the rest of the heels. Cole said Reigns’ buddies felt Reigns was close to winning.
After the match, Sheamus took a set next to Lilian Garcia at ringside. Sheamus said Reigns will have to wait until TLC to get his title shot. Sheamus said said he, Del Rio, Rusev, and Barrett call themselves The League of Nations. Sheamus introduced each man. Barrett is still King. Good lord, let the silly gimmick go! Up next was Del Rio, who was introduced as U.S. Champion rather than Mex-America Champion. Finally, Sheamus introduced Rusev as his righthand man.
