It was confirmed during this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw that Sheamus will face Mark Henry this month at Extreme Rules, live on pay-per-view.
Mark Henry verbally ran down the Irishman during Raw, telling him to “get serious” for their match, because it would be the world would never forget. During a contest between Sheamus and Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett later in the night, Henry got involved, attacking his Extreme Rules opponent with a belt. Although Sheamus technically won his singles match, Henry got the last laugh, brutally assaulting the “Celtic Warrior” with shot after shot from the leather strap.
