Hello friends! Tomorrow night WWE will present their 5th annual Night Of Champions PPV live from the HSBC arena in Buffalo, New York! 7 matches are on the card and now without further adu it's on to my picks! Here we go!
WWE Tag Team Championship Match: Air Boom (Evan Bourne & Kofi Kingston) vs. The Miz and R-Truth
For the 1st time in a long time WWE's Tag Team Division is showing signs of life after being dead for the longest time. However they still have a ways to go before that division will be as fun as it was back in the late 80's through the early 2000's. As for my pick well my gut is telling me to go with the champs to retain but my heart tells me to go with Miz and Truth to win the belts. Very tough to call indeed as this 1 could easily go either way! But in the end I'm going to take a chance here and say that the champs find a way to retain in what should be a solid opener!
Winners: Air Boom
Fatal 4 Way Match for the WWE United States Championship: Dolph Ziggler vs. Jack Swagger vs. Alex Riley vs. John Morrison
Of all the matches on this card this fight has had the worst and most underwhelming build mainly because of the angle with Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger involving Vickie Guerrero while Riley and Morrison were added for flavor content. Anyways I'm going to take a chance here and go with Swagger to pull the upset here and win the U.S. belt after Vickie helps Swagger and screws over Dolph.
Winner: Jack Swagger
WWE Intercontinental Championship Match: Cody Rhodes vs. Ted Dibiase
Not much build for this 1 as this fight was just announced this past Friday. Should be an OK match at best and I like Cody to retain.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
WWE Divas Championship Match: Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix
No doubt the easiest fight to call as the Glamazon will get her long overdue moment in the sun that many feel she should've gotten at SummerSlam last month but remember when I did my SummerSlam review on my Tony Rants blogsite I had stated that the only reason Kelly even retained was because of the fact that this event is in the Glamazon's hometown of Buffalo and because of that the Glamazon wins this 1 going away!
Winner: Beth Phoenix
No Disqualification Match: CM Punk vs. Triple H
OK go figure the name of this event is Night Of Champions and yet it's this fight which is a non title match that's getting the most hype and build and for good reason as this has fight of the night written all over it in my opinion as this has been the best storyline in WWE right now! I mean you have Punk who is by far the best thing going in WWE today mainly because of his money promos and money matches. On the other side of the coin you have Triple H the COO of WWE who is competing in his 1st match since the epic 5 star battle he had with Taker back at WrestleMania 27! So many things to consider in picking this match. 1. Punk wins Hunter resigns as COO. 2. Kevin Nash's recent "firing" 3. John Laureanitis and 4. Stephanie McMahon. So many scenarios to consider which makes this even harder to call. Part of me wants to see Punk win to create an exciting who will be the new COO angle but in all honesty I think Hunter will win this fight I mean do you really see Hunter losing back to back PPV matches? I don't!
Winner: Triple H
World Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry
There is no question that the work Mark Henry has performed over the last few months has been his personal best and for that he deserves a run with the WHC! However Henry has been getting the best of Orton on Smackdown and the recent Raw Supershows as of late. Because of that this looks like a classic case of Booking 101 and if we all remember how Booking 101 works Orton should and will win this match to retain the title in what should be a sleeper pick for fight of the night!
Winner: Randy Orton
WWE Championship Match: Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena
Last month at SummerSlam Alberto Del Rio continued the trend of successful MITB cash ins when he cashed his MITB briefcase on CM Punk to capture the WWE title! The next week no big surprise as Super Cena finds his way back into the title picture! Most likely will be the usual ho hum Raw TV main event in which Del Rio will cheat his way to victory most likely setting up a rematch next month at the Hell In A Cell PPV!
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
Overall it looks like a good but not great PPV which is a shame after WWE had produced 2 of their best PPV's in recent memory in SummerSlam and Money In The Bank! Anyways Punk and Hunter will most likely steal the show while the Tag Team, World Heavyweight, and WWE Championship Matches should be solid fights! While sadly the Divas, IC, and U.S. title fights will be the worst fights of the night I'm afraid.
