NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS, Year 7

The Divas title will not be on the line tonight. With WWE 2k14 right around the corner, Survivor Series will be the last PPV. I'll post a recap page and link to the new Universe once I get it started.

Match 1. Kofi Kingston vs. Fandango   WWE United States Championship
Fandango landed some back suplexes early. Kofi hit a knife-edge chop. Fandango connected with a jumping heel kick and a diving leg drop. After a neck breaker, Fandango busted Kofi open with a bulldog. Kofi made a comeback with a jumping chop and clothesline. Fandango hit a second leg drop and won.

Match 2. Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow   WWE Intercontinental Championship
Sandow hit Rhodes with two clotheslines out of the gate. After another clothesline, Sandow hit the leg sweep and Terminus, but Rhodes kicked out at one. Sandow locked in a camel clutch. He hit another leg sweep and Terminus and won the IC title. Sandow made quick work of his former partner.

Match 3. I Quit - Antonio Cesaro vs. William Regal
This was a brutal, bloody match. Regal landed a back suplex and a tiger suplex. He later connected with the Power of the Punch. Later, Cesaro connected with the Neutralizer. Regal came back with another left-hand punch. Regal hit the running knee across Cesaro's face. Regal hit a double underhook powerbomb and Cesaro was forced to quit.

Match 4. The United Kingdom vs. Rey Mysterio and ???   WWE Tag Team Championship
After Rey's attack, Barrett challenged Rey and a partner to a match. Rey's partner is Sin Cara! The Mexican luchadores are back together. Rey and Cara quickly hit Barrett with an STO/springboard drop kick. Rey and Cara were using their quickness while the UK used their strength. After hitting a neck breaker, Drew drove Rey's head into Barrett's boot. The UK then double teamed Rey on the outside. Drew speared Rey through the barricade and Wade got the three count.

Match 5. Big Show vs. Jack Swagger   World Heavyweight Championship
With a nice win streak over the last couple of weeks, Swagger earned this title shot. Swagger focused on the legs of Big Show with chop blocks and dragon screws. Big Show tried holding off Swagger with a back body drop, but the All-American American went right back on the attack. He landed a German suplex and a spin-out powerbomb before making Show tap from the Patriot Lock.

Match 6. The Shield vs. The Prime Time Players and Daniel Bryan
Titus DDT'd Reigns through the announce table. Back in the ring, Ambrose hit Titus with a running knee to the head. The Shield then hit Bryan with a double DDT. Darren Young and Seth Rollins fought on the outside. Reigns hit Bryan with a huge spear and hit Titus with a powerbomb to win.

Main Event. John Cena vs. CM Punk vs. Randy Orton vs. Brock Lesnar   WWE Championship
Lesnar busted Orton open by slamming his head against the steel post. Orton returned the favor with knee across the face. Punk blocked an Orton punch and hit the GTS. Cena hit Lesnar with a chair. Cena tossed Lesnar out of the ring as Orton hit Punk with his back breaker. Punk blocked another punch and hit a second GTS to win the WWE title.

Recap: That IC title looks nice around the waist of Sandow. Every title but the tag titles changed hands tonight. Could be interesting going forward.
