WWE Champion Sheamus vs. John Cena (Steel Cage Match)
In WWE, steel remains a confining element, ensuring that competitors cannot flee at the first flicker of danger. When WWE Champion Sheamus defends his title against John Cena in a Steel Cage Match at Money in the Bank, however, those entwined metal shafts will also serve to prevent the intrusion of danger – principally, the seven hazards of The Nexus.
The first hazard on Sheamus’ mind, though, remains his rival. During Fatal 4-Way, the Irishman captured his second WWE Title by defeating Cena, Randy Orton and Edge, thanks in no small part to the interference of The Nexus. Those distractions will presumably disappear, though, when The Celtic Warrior and the former champion meet alone inside the unforgiving structure.
For Cena, the past few months have been like enduring a marathon while competitors repeatedly hurl themselves in your path. Not only has Sheamus thrown down the gauntlet, seven-time WWE Champion Cena has been forced to tolerate the attacks of The Nexus as they attempt to leave an indelible mark on the landscape of WWE.
If Cena does somehow manage to overcome Sheamus, will he also be capable of navigating any traps laid by WWE NXT’s rebellious graduates? As for the Irishman, there’s no question that he has the desire and wherewithal to win, but can the relative rookie really hope to emerge from a Steel Cage Match victorious against a seasoned veteran who still appears to be hitting his stride? One thing is guaranteed: There must be a winner.
