Night of Champions 2015 predictions
WWE Night of Champions takes place this Sunday at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas and with Seth Rollins pulling double duty by defending two titles and Sting competing in his first title match in the WWE,the PPV stands to offer a lot. Who will be the mystery partner of Reigns and Ambrose?Will Sheamus try to cash in his MITB briefcase? Will Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae unite?? - OK, nobody cares about the last one - but the PPV is going to be intriguing, nonetheless. This list analyses all the matches scheduled for the PPV and gives predictions for the same. Please note that the Neville and Lucha Dragons vs The Cosmic Wasteland match scheduled for the pre-show is not covered here for obvious reasons!
#1 Intercontinental title match : Ryback (c) vs Kevin Owens
Kevin Owens might just be the second coming of CM Punk – He has the mic skills, he doesn’t stick to the status quo and always produces excellent matches. He has finally been given a definitive angle after his feud with John Cena and he takes on a man who has regained the trust of the company after a rather disastrous end to a promising initial singles run – Ryback.
Ryback does not match up to Owens in verbal spars or in ring performance,but he has shown some sparks in his intercontinental title run and a victory over Owens will go a long way in re-establishing himself as a dominant player in the WWE.
I am tempted to think that the WWE Creative will not want to strip Ryback of the momentum that he has been having by losing the title to Owens in their first encounter, which is why I feel that Ryback is the favourite here. I do believe that the grand plan is to have Owens get hold of the belt and I have no doubt that he will raise the prestige of the title – but that might have to wait till the next PPV or so. For Night of Champions, though – Ryback will get the upper hand
Prediction : Ryback retains
