SmackDown GM Booker T in the ring.

Booker says that everyone knows he will take care of business when needed. He says it is his responsibility to deliver a great show every week and that is what brings him to the item currently on his agenda.

Sheamus and Big Show have been in a hot feud and Booker T says that he has a tough decision to make tonight, but he wants to show us why.

Booker says that if Sheamus initiates the contact, he will lose the match. Show is told that he will be stripped of his title if he initiates contact.

The two sit down to sign the contracts. Sheamus tells Show that waiting nine days to kick Show's arse is like waiting for nine days until Christmas. Sheamus says he is more than willing to wait, no matter how intense the desire. And in the end, he will get a present in that shiny belt.

Show says that Christmas came early for Sheamus, as he will be protected until TLC. Sheamus can hit him all he wants, but Show can put an end to him with just one chair shots. Show says that he can end his career if he wanted to and Sheamus is too stupid to realize that. Show says that Sheamus is too full of vinegar and fire and all he wants is to fight.

Sheamus asks if he realizes how silly he looks right now. Sheamus says he has brought the fight to him in their last two matches and he should be worried about his own career. Sheamus says he will be glad to end it TLC.

Show tosses the table over on Sheamus and quickly signs the contract. Sheamus bucks at Show, but Booker gets between him and reminds him of the contract.
