Night Of Champions Run Down

So tonight is WWE Night of Champions, a night when every title in the WWE is up for grabs:

Tag Team Championship: Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston (Air Boom) vs R-Truth and The Miz (Awesome Truth). The match was pretty good with a lot of covers and great team work by both Air Boom and Awesome Truth but in the end The Miz's anger got the best of him and he knocked down a ref causing disqualification. Air Boom remains Tag Team Champions.



Intercontinental Championship: Cody Rhodes vs Ted DiBiase. I'm in no way, shape, or form a fan of Cody Rhodes but he put on one hell of a show for this fight against his former friend and ally Ted DiBiase. Ted DiBiase managed to take of Rhodes "protective" facial mask but got distracted while celebrating and Rhodes went for the pin, got his 3 count and managed to keep his championship.


Between matches Christian came and started begging for, surprise surprise, one more match against the winner of the Randy Orton/Mark Henry World Heavyweight Championship. He started bashing Buffalo's NFL team and tried to get the audience to cheer with him so he can get one more match. Sheamus then came out and promised to help Christian get one more match ONLY if, when Christian wins, he make his first title defence against Sheamus, when the crowed was chanting and Christian agreed, Sheamus Brouge Kicked Christian and left the ring.


Fatal Four Way for the United States Championship: John Morrison vs Jack Swagger vs Alex Riley vs Dolph Ziggler. To open A-Ry corners Swagger and Morrison corners Ziggler, Ziggler and Morrison both fall out of the ring leaving A-Ry and Swagger to fight. Morrison goes in for two near falls and on the last Ziggler gets Swagger out. Riley pins Swagger for a two count and Vikie Guerrero puts Swagger leg on the ropes preventing Swagger from getting a count out. Morrison starts after both Swagger and A-Ry showing that right now friendships don't matter and he puts Alex down for a near fall. A close win came to Alex when he got out of an ankle lock but Swagger kicks out. Swagger gets Morrison down and is about to go in for a cover when Ziggler pushes him aside and pins Morrison, retaining his United States Championship Title.


Right now, I'm writing this as I watch, I'm thinking that, as great as the matches are, nothing has changed, it's kinda lame. But oh well. Cut to Mark Henry being interviewed and being asked if it is true that he in fact cannot win against Orton because he doesn't want to. Mark Henry rips the mic away and tells all watching he will destroy Orton tonight. Vikie Guerrero then takes the screen saying that if Triple H has to step down as C.O.O. Vikie will gladly take his place.


World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs Mark Henry. My friend Kevin just texted me saying "I thought this was the main event?" I replied that I didn't think it would be because it is obvious the outcome is going to be Henry, no one has stopped him yet, why should Orton? Let's see. Right as the bell sounds Mark Henry picks Orton up like nothing and tosses him into the turn buckles but Orton manages to use his quickness to just start beating the Worlds Strongest Man and get him down on the ground, the only way Orton will be able to defeat him. I don't think Randy has a hope of winning but as along as he pulls off and RKO on Henry I'll be happy. 1 RKO failed. Randy manages to get out of a World Strongest slam and quickly puts Mark Henry in a sleeper hold, Henry blasts orton off of his back. Henry starts bending Orton backwards across the one of the polls of the ring, causing, I'd assume, insane pain, immediatly after he puts all 400+ lbs of him right on Orton's back, somehow Orton manages to kick out. After being punished for about 10 minutes Orton gets up and starts beating Henry and dodging a splash from the WSM. After receiving a World Strongest Slam, Orton kicks out and Orton is visibly pissed. Orton DDT's Mark Henry and does his little Viper thing, and goes int his "Place" delivering a DDT off the ropes and pins Henry for a near fall when he grabs the bottom rope and Orton is forced to get off of him. 2 RKO's failed. Mark Henry gets Orton as he is falling from the failed RKO, slams him and pins Randy Orton and after 15 years Mark Henry wins his first title. Orton put up an amazing fight but the inevitable happened.



Now Mark has this thing he likes to call The Hall of Pain that he has been putting all of his opponents in, broke Big Show and Kane's leg with a chair, what will he do to Randy Orton? Henry takes a mic and announces that he is going to put anyone and every one into the Hall of Pain, he will never run from a fight and he is "Never, ever going to lose this title!" Surprisingly enough he leaves without doing anything uncalled for to Randy Orton. Mark Henry is The World's Strongest Champion.


Diva's Championship: Kelly Kelly vs Beth Phoenix. This fight is also known as I don't care, so time for me to grab some supper. A nice superplex was delivered, that's about it...Kelly Kelly wins


WWE Championship Title: Alberto Del Rio vs John Cena. Now, I, until recently, wasn't a huge Cena fan but now that they have given him some great people to fight he has really started to spread his wings and be a blast to watch so I am very excited for this match. Cena made a great entrance in Del Rio's car, very fancy. I can't stand Del Rio's cockyness, he just comes off as WAY too smug, I mean he even has his own ring announcer...why? And then Cena takes a mic and says pretty much what I'm thinking. John Cena The Fighting Fruity Pebble.

They don't waste anytime when the bell goes, they get right into the fight, Cena knocking Del Rio back and forth and Del Rio trying to get away form him as fast as he can. The ref kicks Del Rio's ring announcer out, so that was nice. Once he get's Cena down he isn't letting him back up, continuously kicking Cena in the kidney, throwing him against everything. Cena manages to finally fight back and takes the upper hand in this fight. Cena and Del Rio hardly manage to get up off their backs to prevent a count out when they knock each other down again. Once back up Del Rio assaults Cena with fast kicks, almost pulling off a count out. Cena suplexed Rio and Cena gains momentum just in time to deliver a perfect 5 Knuckle Shuffle. Cena jumps up out of the way just as Alberto Del Rio is going in for a spear and crashes his shoulder into the pole of the ring, a nasty crunch was heard, mmmm. Del Rio delivers a cross arm breaker and Cena turns it into a near fall pin, picks the champion up and smashes him down into the ring, picks him up again and puts him down with an AA, takes out the ring announcer, who has come back and puts Del Rio into an STF submission causing Del Rio to tap out and Cena to become the Undisputed WWE Champion for the 10th time.



For those of you who don't follow WWE, and for some strange reason are still reading, my favourite Superstar, CM Punk, has been up against some major punishment from Kevin Nash who Power Bombed him at Summerslam causing him to lose his Undisputed WWE Championship to Mr Money in the Bank Alberto DelRio. Nash was rehired by WWE and was about to go into a match at NoC vs Punk but last minute Triple H, the C.O.O. of WWE cancelled the and put himself up against CM Punk. Punk had been mouthing off to The Game since he became C.O.O. and HHH has finally had enough. Tonight Punk vs The King of Kings, if the C.O.O. loses he has to step down, if punk looses, as far as I know nothing happens. Here's a video rundown for the match. As much as I'm looking forward to this fight it doesn't seem right to me that they are setting it up for the main event, especially because it isn't a championship match. But here it is!


Let's call this one a Grudge Match: Triple H, The King of Kings, The Game, The C.O.O. of WWE, whatever you want to call him vs CM Punk in a no disqualifications match. CM Punk comes out sporting his new CM Punk Ice Cream Bar T-shirt, ordering mine soon. Before The Game finishes his entrance Punk punches him in the back of the head, getting this match started. Bodies and fists are flying all over the place as Triple H tosses Punk behind the announcers table and starts beating him, punk manages to get back into the ring. In the ring Game and Punk are going back and forth, throwing punches and bodies and spearing and its a thing of beauty. Triple H clearly hasn't lost his touch as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, this is his first fight since Wrestlemania vs The Undertaker. All I can think right now is how amazing it would be if Undertaker came back at some point during this fight. The Game gets Punk into the crowd and just takes him to town, Punk manages to get up and starts beating HHH and gets him back to the entrance to the ring. Triple H throws Punk into the JumboTron. Punk throws The Game behind the screen and starts flinging random objects at him and starts dragging him back to the ring. Punk grabs a chair out from under the ring, slams it onto the Game's head and pulls off a near fall. This fight is going to last quite some time so when I find it up on youtube I'll post it up on my blog.

The Miz and R-Truth come running in and each take one of the wrestlers ad just start beating them. Once the two have Game and Punk down they drag Punks arm across Triple H's body and force the ref to count, the ref gets to 2 and The Game kicks out. Miz starts yelling at the ref and the ref punches Miz across the ring, R-Truth and the Miz both start beating the ref. Meanwhile Punk is trying to get back to his feet. John Laryngitis comes out and calls Miz and Truth out of the ring, HHH manages to pin Punk but the only ref there is out cold, a ref runs out but Johnny boy distracts him. Punk GTS's The Game ad the secondary ref calls a near fall as HHH kicks out. Punk goes after Truth and the Miz and Truth run off. The Game pedigree's Punk and gets a near fall. (So much for posting a video) Out of the audience comes Kevin Nash who starts beating on both Triple H and Punk. Big Sexy gets assulted by Punk but he pick Punk up like nothing and delivers a Power Bomb then goes back after The Game. Triple H grabs a sledge hammer and knocks Kevin Nash out and crawls back into the ring. HHH Pedigree's Punk and pulls off a 3 count. I was NOT expecting that at all! I was expecting, because of the stipulation Punk made, that Game was gonna lose, thank god he didn't! Great show! Can't wait until tomorrow to watch the fall out on RAW.
