Bragging Rights is a 14-man Tag Team Match that has a team work its way through all seven of the other team’s lineup. This one starts off with Sheamus facing off with Cody Rhodes.
Objective: Defeat Cody Rhodes.
Strikes work well to open up big slams, but battle Cody Rhodes as you did before, capitalizing on your size and strength. Move in for the pin. After you pin Cody Rhodes you put your team up 1-0.
Big Show comes and cleans up Mark Henry with one punch…
…and William Regal catches the Big Boot. They’re up 2-1.
Objective: Finish off Big Show in the ring.
Here you move into the ring as Alberto Del Rio—you’ll want to use your greater speed against Big Show.
Finally! The prompt button. What?! Alberto Del Rio’s Cross Armbreaker is countered. Big Show wins again. Team SmackDown is up by two now: 3-1.
Objective: Finish off Big Show in the ring.
Now you take control of Sheamus to battle Big Show. Open him up with strong strikes and attack him while he is on the ground. After you weaken Big Show, a prompt button will appear and Sheamus will start to rain down punches in the corner.
Again?! He’s going to counter with a Chokeslam, but help is on the way. Triple H and Drew McIntyre join in to help with the suplex on Big Show. Sheamus wins! It’s 3-2.
Objective: Finish off The Miz or Randy Orton in the ring.
After you take out Big Show, Randy Orton is ready. He rushes at you. You’re now wrestling as Triple H. Use his big grapples to control the ring with these two.
Weaken The Miz enough to trigger the prompt button and a cutscene. Randy Orton gets tossed out of the match by the ref—thanks to The Miz and his double-cross.
Now it’s 3-3. The Miz takes out Triple H to push the score to 4-3, Team SmackDown. Now, Drew McIntyre takes out The Miz to even the score at 4-4. What a scramble!
Objective: Defeat Rey Mysterio in the ring.
Here, you are in the ring as Drew McIntyre. Your opponent, Rey Mysterio, is fast, recovers well, and can mess you up really quick. Use running grapples as he stands up to keep the pressure on, and wear him down until the prompt button flashes.
Oops! Despite your efforts Rey Mysterio launches himself into a 619! It’s 5-4, Team SmackDown.
Objective: Defeat Rey Mysterio in the ring.
As Sheamus, don’t give Rey Mysterio any room to work. Use grapples to control this match, but beware; Rey is a master of the reversal. Watch out for his Comeback ability when you start to wear him down. Pin him the first chance you get to trigger a cutscene. It’s all tied up at 5-5.
The two last remaining teammates from each team walk to the center of the ring. Sheamus and Wade Barrett join forces and take out their own teammates. This is the new alliance—the “United Kingdom.”
