NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS, Year 6

All five titles will be on the line tonight.

Match 1. Christian vs. Cody Rhodes   WWE Intercontinental Championship
Rhodes picked up a non-title victory on SmackDown. Can he do it again tonight? Christian landed a superplex, but Rhodes came back with a DDT. He then hit Cross Rhodes, but Christian kicked out at two. Christian busted Rhodes open with a flapjack and then hit the Killswitch to retain.

Match 2. Alberto Del Rio vs. Big Show
Del Rio landed some punches and kicks. Show wasn't fazed as he easily tossed Del Rio over his head. After hitting a side slam, Del Rio connected with a heel kick to the back of Show's head. Del Rio got a two count and locked in the cross arm breaker. Show hit the Showstopper and made Del Rio tap from a abdominal stretch.

Match 3. Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose   WWE United States Championship
Can Ambrose win without his Shield teammates at ringside? Thirty seconds in and Kofi landed a hurricanrana and DDT. A few minutes later, Kofi blocks a punch and hits the SOS. Ambrose kicks out, but Kofi busts him open with a right hand. Kofi locked him in a camel clutch and made him tap.

Match 4. Randy Orton vs. Sheamus vs. Mark Henry vs. Barrett   World Heavyweight Championship
Can Orton retain the title with these kind of odds? Sheamus hit Orton with a super side slam. Orton came back with a super back suplex. Henry locked Sheamus in a bear hug. Sheamus and Orton took the match to the outside. Orton DDT'd Sheamus through the announce table. Henry forced Barrett to tap from a single-leg Boston Crab.

Match 5. CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan
These two men know each other so well. They countered each other's moves in the early going. Punk busted Bryan open with a tornado DDT. There were many near falls with these two in a couple of pinning battles. Bryan hit a dropkick in the corner and a double underhook slam. Punk blocked a punch and forced Bryan to tap from an Anaconda Vice.

Match 6. The Usos vs. Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro   WWE Tag Team Championship
Jey busted Swagger open with a back elbow smash. All four men fought on the outside. Cesaro tossed Jimmy into the steel steps. Jey speared Cesaro through the barricade. The Usos hit Cesaro with the Alley Us. Cesaro recovered and he and Swagger landed a double suplex on Jey. Swagger then hit the gutwrench to win the titles.

Main Event. Seth Rollins vs. John Cena vs. RVD vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Ryback   WWE Championship
This is another scramble match. Lesnar and RVD kicked off the match. Lesnar used his power to wear down RVD in the two minutes. RVD placed Lesnar on the top rope and landed a frankensteiner. Lesnar landed a superplex to the outside. John Cena ran down at the 15-minute mark. Lesnar had Cena in a torture rack, but he escaped. Cena and RVD hit Lesnar with a double super kick. Cena hit RVD with two AAs, but Lesnar broke up the pins. Ryback entered the ring next, giving Rollins a huge advantage.

RVD hit Cena with the Van Terminator (minus the chair). Cena landed a superplex on RVD and got the three count. Cena continued with another AA. Lesnar and Ryback traded powerbombs on each other. Ryback and RVD took to the outside. Ryback hit Shell Shock and pinned RVD. Rollins came out to reclaim his title. Rollins pulled out a chair and hit Ryback. He then landed two back suplexes and a German suplex. Ryback hit Lesnar will Shell Shock. RVD had Cena in a leg lock on the outside, but Rollins broke it up. No one else could get a pin. Ryback wins!

Recap: I can't remember the last person to hold the world title besides Orton and Henry. The WWE title has been passed around a lot recently. The last three titles changed hands and that's a good thing.
