The Pink and Black Attack is Back
The match was great and the subsequent CM Punk heel turn was as well. They have been teasing it for over a month so you knew it was coming but I am just so happy they actually finished the match and then had it happen. Anymore they interrupt the Main Event for a screw job finish. It's really annoying week after week. Last night we were treated to a great main event match with a great spot afterwards. Keep it up WWE, even though we know you wont. It's a shame the feud is Hardy and Punk and not Hardy and Morrison, that's for sure.

WWE Night Of Champions Results
Boy did I suck tonight 2 for 8. With an average like that I could play for the Mets. Ouch! Well I need to find some humor in their season up to this point. Hey at least i'd be batting .250 Anyway here are the results. These are courtesy of WrestlingInc.com. Check them out for all your wrestling news and rumors. They also have a much more detailed results page that covers the PPV hold for hold.
WWE Unified Tag TeamChampionship Match
Chris Jericho & ? (c's) vs. Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase
A recap of Edge's interview was shown. Chris Jericho got on the mic and said that he made a mistake picking Edge as a tag team partner and Edge was selfish for leaving him without a partner. Jericho went on to introduce The Big Show as his partner. Big Show came out sporting a new outfit, it looked like he borrowed Jack Swagger's gear.
Show started the match overpowering Rhodes. After the initial moments, the match was more even, as both teams traded the advantage. Rhodes at one point hit Jericho with a moonsault, but Jericho was able to kick out.
As the match went on, the crowd got more behind Jericho and Show and Legacy wrestled like heels. Legacy looked good here. The finish of the match saw all four men in the ring and Jericho hit Dibiase with the codebreaker. Big Show followed it up with the colossal clutch on Dibiase for the win. Average opener.
Winners And Still WWE Unified Tag Team Champions: Big Show and Chris Jericho
ECW Championship
Tommy Dreamer (c) vs. Christian
Dreamer came out first to a good pop, but Christian came out to a better one. They exchanged slaps to start the match before Christan took control.
Striker and Matthews were talking about an autograph session that Dreamer was at, and Matthews jokingly asked how many people showed up, three or four? Way to bury your own champion. Striker went on to note that Dreamer had a lot of fans.
Both mean tried to make the match work, but the fans just don't buy Dreamer as champion or the ECW title as a real championship. Christian hit Dreamer with the kill switch to win the ECW Championship to a good pop.
Winner and NEW ECW Champion: Christian
WWE United States Championship - Six Pack Challenge
Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Primo Colon vs. MVP vs. Carlito vs. The Big Show vs. The Miz
It was announced that Primo Colon was replacing The Big Show since Show won the tag titles. That's stupid. There were a lot of cool moves in the match, but with six competitors, it was all over the place.
With Show out of the match, Swagger played the monster in the match. Primo and Carlito worked together for a little bit, until Carlito hit Primo with the backstabber. Kofi came in from behind and nailed Carlito with the trouble in paradise to retain the title.
Winner and still WWE United States Champion: Kofi Kingston
WWE Women's Championship
Michelle McCool (c) vs. Melina
McCool nailed Melina with a dropkick as Melina was doing her entrance. Melina quickly recovered and the match was back in the ring.
This was one of the better Women's championship matches in awhile. McCool at one point hit a DDT on Melina on the security wall outside of the ring.
The finish of the match saw McCool reverse a pin attempt to pin Melina and retain the title.
Winner and still WWE Womens Champion: Michelle McCool
WWE Championship - Triple Threat Match
Randy Orton vs. Triple H vs. John Cena
This being Philly, Cena got more boos than he's been getting lately as he came out. Triple H got a mixed reaction as well during the introductions.
Fans were really booing Cena as the match went on, even getting quiet during Cena's offense. It came down to HHH and Cena at one point, and it didn't have the heat that you'd expect. They went back and forth for a bit before The Game hit Cena with a spinebuster and followed it with a pedigree. HHH went for a pin, which was broken up by Orton.
The match went outside the ring, and Orton and HHH battled on the table, but the table was spared. Cena broke it up and went for the STF on HHH, but Orton broke it up and he and Cena battled in the ring. They traded blows, with the crowd giving a 'YAY' for Orton, and a 'BOO' for Cena's punches.
The finish saw HHH get Orton in a sharpshooter. While HHH had Orton in the sharpshooter, Cena got the STF on Orton, so he was in the STF and sharpshooter at the same time. Orton tapped, but the referee didn't know what to do and didn't stop the match. Legacy hit the ring. Cena got Rhodes up for the Attitude Adjustment, but Orton nailed Cena with the RKO to a big pop to pin Cena.
Winner and still WWE Champion: Randy Orton
Really??? You put the WWE Title match, before the Divas title? You've gotta be kidding me!!! WWE Divas Championship
Maryse (c) vs. Mickie James
The crowd was dead for this match after that last one. Finally, Maryse was going for her finisher, but James countered and hit a DDT to pin Maryse clean.
Winner and NEW WWE Divas Champion: Mickie James
If you would've told me Ziggler would be in the match before the main event I woulda told you you were crazy. This match should've been the curtain jerkerWWE Intercontinental Championship Match
Rey Mysterio vs. Dolph Ziggler
Maria accompanied Ziggler to the ring. The crowd is still dead from the last match. The two tried their best to get the crowd into it, and this was Ziggler's best showing to date.
The finish saw Mysterio hit the 619 and splash to get the clean win. The crowd was quiet until the end. Good match, hurt by the crowd reaction until the end.
Winner and still WWE Intercontinental Champion: Rey Mysterio
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match
They're running short on time. Crowd was pretty quiet again, the Maryse - Mickie James match really sucked the life out of the arena
Punk was working Hardy over with kicks late in the match when Hardy reversed it into a twist of fate. He went for a swanton, put Punk got his knees up. Punk was able to hit the GTS and smiled as he covered Hardy, but only got a two count. He kept going for covers, but Hardy kept kicking out.
Punk went outside the ring and grabbed his belt and started walking towards the back. Hardy attacked Punk in the aisle and got him back into the ring. He hit another twist of fate, followed by a swanton bomb to win the match and the championship!
Winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion - Jeff Hardy
WWE Night of Champions
WWE Woman's Championship
Michelle McCool (c) vs. Melina
Neither one of these women are very talented. But then again WWE doesn't really have many good female wrestlers. Mostly just eye candy. McCool is learning and does have potential though. The company seems to like her a lot to. I'm sure dating the Undertaker helps too.
Prediction: Michelle McCool
WWE Divas Championship
Maryse (c) vs Mickie James
Mickie is the best female wrestler on the roster, hands down. Unfortunately the company doesn't see her that way. They would rather have the belt on a bleach blonde Barbie look-a-like like Maryse, even though she has little, if any, in ring talent. Mickie should win but won't.
Prediction: Maryse
WWE Unified Tag Team Championship
Chris Jericho & ??? (c) vs. Cody Rhodes & Ted Dibiase Jr
Edge should've been Jericho's partner, however due to possibly career ending Achilles tear, he is out of both this match and wrestling for quite some time. So Jericho will have a mystery partner. The question is who. Personally I really want Christian for the match but he has his own match tonight so that is unlikely. Stranger things have certainly happened but it's not likely. If I had to guess, something tells me it will be The Miz. Jericho is my favorite wrestler and has been for years so you would think I would be siding with him on this but I'm not. The plans we're to have Edge turn on Jericho and go face, therefore I believe they weren't gonna be holding those belts long anyway. With him not even in the match anymore there is no reason to keep the belts on them. Plus for some reason Vinnie Mac is pushing the crap out of Rhodes and Dibiase. I think Dibiase has potential but if Cody's daddy wasn't the American Dream Dusty Rhodes, he would have never even got a second glance.
Prediction: Cody Rhodes & Ted Dibiase
WWE United States Championship - Six-Pack Challenge
Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Big Show vs. MVP vs. Carlito vs. Jack Swagger vs. The Miz
There is a lot of talent in this match. What bothers me the most is, the person I think will win, is the least talented of the bunch. Kofi is a great high flyer and the fans love him. He will never hold the World Title but has a great career ahead of him. The Big Show is one of the most under-rated wrestlers ever. Used properly he could have been bigger than Andre, and I do mean that but Vince blew it with him. MVP is finally getting over with the fans. He is a very talented guy who is making the most of his second chance in life. Carlito is not only a great wrestler but is very charismatic. Another guy that if pushed the right way could be huge but is unfortunately forced by the company into mediocrity. Who would've ever thought the Miz had it in him. He can actually wrestle. I'm shocked. And he's really good at drawing heat. So I've just made great arguments for all 5 of these men, the problem is Vince McMahon loves Jack Swagger. The guy is horrible. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying he doesn't have potential but he still has a lot to learn. He's still a kid and he's already a former World Champion, it's ridiculous. What happened to when you earned titles and they weren't given to you just to get over?
Prediction: Jack Swagger
WWE Intercontinental Championship
Rey Mysterio (c) vs Dolph Ziggler
It pains me to even say that. Dolph Ziggler???? Really? The scary part is, with Mysterio having contract disputes and Jeff Hardy taking time off soon, they have to give the belt to Ziggler to try and create more talent for the talent starved Smackdown show. I repeat.....What happened to when you earned titles and they weren't given to you just to get over?
Prediction: Dolph Ziggler
ECW Championship
Tommy Dreamer (c) vs. Christian
First and foremost, ECW SUCKS!!!! Ahhh I feel so much better. Vince took a great company and great memories from my childhood and wiped his ass with it. I am happy that Dreamer holds the belt though, he's the only ECW Original left. But as a peep i gotta go with Christian. This isn't really a prediction more like a wish
Prediction/Hope: Captain Charisma Christian
WWE World Heavyweight Championship
CM Punk (c) vs. Jeff Hardy
In case you are not aware. Jeff Hardy's contract is just about up and he is taking some time off when it does and I can't say I blame him. Another Vince screw up. Hardy could've been the next Shawn Michaels. Thanks again Vinnie Mac you scared another one away, just like RVD
Prediction: CM Punk
WWE Title
Randy Orton (c) vs Triple H vs. John Cena
Personally I think they should keep the belt on Randy Orton to help his push. He is way over right now and is the best heel I've seen in quite some time. Take that Triple H. You wish you had half Orton's talent. Oh wait that's right you don't need it, you married the bosses daughter.
Prediction: Triple H
Check back later for the results and feel free to tell me what you think. Also check out my want lists. I finished off the 80's and got started on the 90's today.
