The Official Night Of Champions Thread

That is a lot cooler then the orginal poster, with Mysterio on it.

^I don't think I ever seen the poster with Rey, but I'm positive that it is. Any chance you could post the poster with Mysterio or a link to or something.

*Card Updated*

Six-pack WWE Championship challenge added...

Man, that poster is just awful. Not because of Rey either (that makes it worse) the coloring and everything is just plain unappealing.

That 6 pack challenge sounds very interesting. I'm either voting for Barett or Jericho.

This 6-Pack Challenge reminds a lot of the situation Kurt Angle was in when he defended the WWF championship at Armageddon 2000 in that 6-Men Hell in a Cell against Triple H, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Rikishi and The Undertaker; Angle was the underdog in the match and everyone thought he would get killed and be easy pickings for anyone else involved in the match. Instead, Angle came out of it retaining the WWF Championship pinning The Rock under controversial circumstances. I think it's gonna be the same thing happening for Sheamus but everyone will be gunning for Wade Barrett instead and Sheamus will get the victory that way.

I'm also hoping for a Miz/Daniel Bryan United States Title Match with Daniel Bryan getting the title. But I'm not holding my breath for that since I'm actually expecting WWE to milk this feud out as long as they possibly can to build The Miz's push for the WWE Championship.

I can't see Orton targetting Barrett, I'm pretty certain he'll be focused on Sheamus.

Anyways, I'm hoping and predicting that Shemaus doesn't win. I think Barrett will win, leading into Cena vs. Barrett for the WWE championship at Hell in a Cell, where Cena beats Barrett and then Miz cashes in Money In The Bank and wins the WWE championship (because is there a better time to cash in than after a Hell in a Cell match). Also, earlier in the night, Miz would've lost the United States Championship to Daniel Bryan (Bryan would lose at Night Of Champions). I guess that Cena could win the WWE Championship, and the same exact thing could happen but eh.

Honestly, I think Miz will be ready for the WWE Championship at Night Of Champions, he's been booked in matches against Cena and Orton, and he got a lot of offense on them (especially Cena), and he is definitely over.

Yeah, but in the same time, I think it would make more of an impact if a PPV was built around Miz cashing in his title match for that particular event rather than do what everybody else has done except for Rob Van Dam: cashing it right after the champion got involved in a brutal match. And I think that The Miz winning it in that fashion, centering that PPV on him, will definitely boost his image within the company as a top heel rather than being a simple opportunist.

^While it be nice to see them doing that for Miz, not to mention refreshing, with they way they've been booking it, I can't see that happening. For two or three straight weeks, after Miz wins, he came out and did the cashing in but something stopping him, like Swagger did once, Miz did it two or three. They've really been emphasizing the whole can catch in anytime, moreso than I can remember them doing for others, so I'm positive he'll do the opportunistic cash in.

I don't think we will see a MITB winner call out the Champ and have an official match, until a face wins the MITB again. Taking somebody out after they have been beat down, is natural heel thing to do.

Yeah, but when you think about it, given the giant ego that The Miz has on TV, wouldn't it be more logical for him to want to get all the spotlight on him prior to his championship match? I always perceived Miz since his breakup with John Morrison as somebody who's craving attention and wants to make bold statements. Miz could get a big argument in his favor by beating the WWE Champion in a straight-up 1-on-1 match on PPV, making him a more worthy champion than Edge or CM Punk.

With what you said, it definitely seems like they're taking the usual route for the MITB holder but I wish they'd do it differently for Miz.

^^I agree that it would be better, but I kind of seeing it going the other way.

*Card Updated*

Womem's and Divas Championship unification match added to the card. They haven't announced which member of LayCool would be facing Melina by the way. I really want Melina to win, but only if they are going to be keeping the Women's Championship design.

I know this may not be a NOC thing but I think I can predict how Miz will cash in his Money In The Bank.

Firstly, Wade Barrett will win the WWE Championship in the Six pack Challenge. Then week after week we will see Barrett talk about how he is the Sole Member of Nexus [Remember he was the sole Survivor on Raw] and eventually Nexus will turn on him and beat the shit of him. They will start to leave the ring and *Cue* Miz ...

^I could see that happening, but I really don't want to because that calls for someone to turn face. I can't see that happening and working without either Miz, Nexus, or Barrett turning face. Miz, I do believe would work as a face, but he'd be much better as a heel. Nexus would be awful as a face unit. I also don't think Barrett would do well as a face. With that said, WWE has kind of killed the Nexus for me, they haven't exactly been pushed strong since Summerslam.

I have always hated the Diva Title Butterfly design and I hope to hell McCool doesn't win that match.

*Card Updated*

World Heavyweight Championship match added. We've all seen this one coming, but it should be a great encounter anyways.

*Card Updated*

United States Championship match added and lumberjack changed to lumberjill because WWE called it that on their website.

Not much to comment, I want Bryan to win, he'll probably win at Hell In A Cell (I hate that PPV), and we all knew this match was going to happen. Should be good though.

I loved the Miz/Daniels segment last night. I am one of those people Miz was talking about in his promo, but I will admit that I was totally wrong. The Miz has stepped into being a huge star and he is doing great. I am lovin this PPV so far.

*Card Updated*

Jericho removed from six-pack challenge. Just read Edgehead's post that Jericho was removed ... I haven't watched all of Raw, so I didn't know.

Yeah, he lost his spot when he lost a match to Morrison. I don't know if that means Morrison will get the last spot or not.

*Card Updated*

Big Show vs. CM Punk added ... fuck WWE.

ROFL ... WTF!

Punk Vs Show is a Spiderman DVD picture.

Overall, I am very excited about this PPV card. It totally sucks that Show is probably going to squash Punk, but the rest of the card looks great.
