#8. Sheamus vs John Cena (WWE Championship) - Money In The Bank, 2010

Cena and Sheamus battled each other to a gruesome war at MITB, 2010

John Cena and Sheamus’ rivalry from eight years ago was pretty intense and hard-hitting and this 2010 showdown between both men was a typical Steel Cage match, where both men used the cage as a weapon and simultaneously also tried to escape the cage on several occasions to get the win.

‘The Celtic Warrior’ Sheamus would go on to dominate this contest for the majority of it and even manhandled John Cena at times.

Cena, however, ignited a comeback into this match, but eventually missed the attempt of hitting a 5 Knuckle Shuffle from the top rope, which subsequently allowed Sheamus to connect with the Brogue Kick, only for the former to hit an AA in a similar manner as well.

The outside interference from Nexus was also a very nice touch to this match and it eventually allowed Sheamus to sneak out of the cage door to pick up the win.
