Top 10 matches in WWE Night Of Champions history
Night of ChampionsNight of Champions isn’t WrestleMania, SummerSlam or the Royal Rumble. This WWE pay-per-view does one thing that is very important throughout the year of pro wrestling. It’s a great transitional show after SummerSlam.This year’s “Biggest Party of the Summer” provided excellent entertainment and solid wrestling. There weren’t any complaints about the wrestling; it was the only endings of both main events that provided controversy. WWE is stacking the desk this year with Sting, John Cena, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens and much more. The WWE champion is set for two matches at Night of Champions. Rollins will take on Cena for the U.S. championship.That will reportedly end the show. Also, Rollins has to defend his WWE World Heavyweight championship against Sting. WWE fans are eagerly waiting in anticipation for Sting’s return to the ring. This is WWE’s way of building a great card for Night of Champions, which is necessary to buff up the WWE Network. The more subscribers they get for middle-of-the-road shows means more viewers for the giant PPV’s.In conclusion, WWE is doing the wise thing by centering the show around Rollins. He is the future of the company, which is evident by the booking since WrestleMania 31. In honor of Night of Champions, here’s the top-10 matches in its history:
#1 Randy Orton vs. Triple H vs. John Cena (2009)
Three legends like John Cena, Randy Orton and Triple H always entertain the WWE Universe. In this particular matchup, Orton was still in his mega-heel persona, while Triple H and Cena played the babyfaces. This was right before the point when WWE fans started not to like Cena, due to the repititive nature of his championship opportunities.
Orton was arguably at his best during this time, especially how the Legacy helped him during matches. It happened again near the end, as they got invovled enough for the match to go the Viper’s way. Many one-on-one matches may out-perform this one, but all three men performed admirably and Orton was the best heel in the company.
