Night of Champions Results

I'm not going to give a move by move break down of the nights matches, just the results, my rating and my thoughts.

Air Boom def. The Awesome Truth via DQ
2/5 The match was solid, with a few missteps by Truth and Bourne, until the end. First of all, Air Boom are the good guys, and faking a tag a move for the Heels. Second I'm never a fan of bad officiating dictating the result of a match.

Cody Rhodes def Ted DiBiase via Pin
3/5  I would have liked to see DiBiase a little more aggressive but a solid effort from both men. I look forward to these two having a great series together.

Dolph Ziggler def Alex Riley, Jack Swagger & John Morrison via Pin
4/5  Exciting match, everyone looked really good. Jack Swagger was dominating, like an athlete his caliber should be, and John Morrison was amazing. Highlight of the match for me was JoMo drop kicking Ziggler to the outside and turning it into a moonsault landing on Swagger.

Mark Henry def Randy Orton via Pin
3/5  Match started slow, picking up a little bit when Orton got on the offensive. I wasn't really impressed with Henry's win, yes he was dominant, yes he got the job done, it just wasn't exciting to watch. Hopefully Henry and Sheamus will reignite at Hell in a Cell, I would love to see them going at it in Hell in a Cell, but with it being so close I'm expecting a rematch with Orton.

Kelly Kelly def Beth Phoenix via Pin
2/5  I'm being a little generous with that score because I really like Beth Phoenix, and the fact that she's gone against Kelly Kelly twice and lost both times is a shame.

John Cena def Alberto Del Rio via Submission
3/5  Del Rio's lighting quick strikes were the only thing that saved this match from being the same old John Cena Standard. I understand using Del Rio as a transitional champion, you want to get CM Punk over at Summer Slam, yet you want Cena to be Champion, so you have Del Rio cash in MITB, get extra heat, and screw him over at the next PPV so John Cena can win the WWE Championship for the third time this year. What's really sad is Del Rio actually impressed me both times he defended the title, the Story line leading into NOC was paper thin, but that's only because he was working with Cena and his story lines never have much depth to them and Del Rio was missing from TV for a whole week of his four week run as Champion.

Triple H def CM Punk via Pin
4/5  This was by far the most anticipated match of the night, and in my opinion, it was a bit of a let down. CM Punk is better in the ring then outside, which is where most of the match took place. Once it got into the ring interference by Miz and R-Truth ruined what could have been a classic. Further interference by Kevin Nash did keep me on the edge of my seat, because the story coming into it was set up so well, we knew what was on the line if Triple H lost. So it wasn't the match I was expecting, but it was the most entertaining match of the night.

Overall PPV Score: 3/5
Worth watching and of course I will be adding it to my collection of every WWE PPV ever, which btw currently stands at 153.
