So great to see Edge again! I am hoping he is back to stay in some capacity. You know he is going to be interrupted, but by who? It’s Cody Rhodes! I am really enjoying Rhodes, this guy should have great potential to be a future main eventer. It wasn’t that long ago Ezekiel Jackson was the Intercontinental Champion, that was so much more boring that this guy. I loved the way this segment ended with Rhodes being surprised by Ted Dibease in the crowd, reminded me of the start of an old school WWE feud. Hopefully this sets up the final match to be announced for Night of Champions.
Dim the lights it’s Sin Cara for his match with Daniel Bryan. The WWE Universe once again proves its strangeness. Imagine if every time the Celtics took to the court they filled the arena with a green tint for the entire game. Anyway...the match rolls on and Sin Cara is disqualified. And yes, they are actually going with the two Sin Caras angle! What do you think? Will people actually go for this? Could at least be an entertaining match when it happens, but I don’t see it going too far beyond that. Unless there is a shocker behind one of those masks. Who knows...I am intrigued. This angle reminds me of something you might see in old school WWE too. Should be fun!
Divas time....AJ vs Beth Phoenix....squash as expected by Phoenix. After the match Phoenix tells us that the fairy tale ends for all the Divas at Night of Champions. I think she wins, but we will see how much attention she can bring to the Divas division as champ.
We got not only Edge back tonight but also Canadian and former WWE Diva Trish Stratus hanging out backstage. Christian interrupts and he is still talking about one more shot. What do you think? Does he get it? I would still love Edge to manage him! But for now at least they still appear to be having some differences.
We get a tag team match with Wade Barrett and Christian vs Justin Gabriel and Sheamus. Four wrestlers in the ring and four different countries represented. Justin Gabriel picks up the pin on Wade Barrett. Barrett has been really floundering lately too being the jobber more times than not. After the match we get more flirting with the idea of a Christian vs Sheamus match. As I have said lately, looking forward to this one whenever it happens.
The Great Khali vs. Heath Slater is up. Sounds like another squash to me. I am guessing maybe some interference from Jinder Mahal after. I was wrong. The match is barely underway and he is coming down the ramp already. Mahal interferes causing the ref to ring the bell and a beat down ensues with Slater and Mahal double teaming Khali. It is Khali who over powers them both. The Smackdown crowd seem very quiet during all of this. I am not sure how much people really care about this match between Khali and Mahal that will undoubtedly happen in the near future.
Evan Bourne is set to take on R-Truth. The Miz and R-Truth enter the ring to R-Truth rapping and slamming the Canadian crowd. It’s an awesome entrance, these guys are great. It’s a much faster match than I expect with Truth picking up the clean pin. The Awesome Truth I guess they are calling this team. Great stuff, should be another good Night of Champions match!
For the second time this week the main event slot is filled by microphone time, at least it’s not more of the whiny married couple (HHH and CM Punk). We got Edge back in the ring again hosting a segment with Randy Orton and Mark Henry. The history of both superstars is briefly traced. Edge leaves the ring and mayhem quickly explodes and it takes a good chunk of the roster to attempt to keep them apart. Of course it doesn’t work and Henry delivers some damage to Orton and several others. Good final setup before the match reminding us one more time that Mark Henry is an absolute animal.
