WWE Night of Champions (2008) Results: Full Recap, Matches, Commentary, Winners, Rating

BY SACNILK

The 2008 Night of Champions marked the second edition of the renowned professional wrestling pay-per-view event organized by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Featuring an electrifying array of talented wrestlers from the promotion's Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brand divisions, the event was held on June 29, 2008, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. Notably, it was the first Night of Champions event to be promoted solely under the Night of Champions banner, as the inaugural event was a cross-promotional spectacle with Vengeance known as Vengeance: Night of Champions. Consequently, Night of Champions took over from Vengeance as the prime pay-per-view offering. ## True to the theme of the event, every match on the card was fought for one of WWE's eight then-active championships. Three championships changed hands, while the remaining five were successfully defended. The main event featured an interpromotional showdown for the WWE Championship, with SmackDown's Triple H taking on Raw's John Cena. Despite a valiant effort by Cena, Triple H emerged victorious to retain the coveted championship belt. The co-main event was also an interpromotional clash, this time for the World Heavyweight Championship. SmackDown's Edge faced off against Raw's Batista, and Edge emerged triumphant to hold on to his championship. In the main match from the ECW brand, ECW's Mark Henry defeated the champion and Raw's representative, Kane, and SmackDown's representative, The Big Show, in an interpromotional triple threat match for the ECW Championship. ## Night of Champions drew in a staggering 273,000 pay-per-view buys, contributing significantly to WWE's augmented pay-per-view revenue, which rose by $21.9 million compared to the preceding year. The professional wrestling section of the Canadian Online Explorer website gave the entire event a 7 out of 10 stars, reflecting the impressive performances of the wrestlers and the overall spectacle of the event. Notably, this rating was higher than the previous year's ratings of 5 and 7.5 out of 10 (owing to two different writers' reviews of the show). ## Jeff Hardy Vs Montel Vontavious Porter ## Preceding the commencement of the event on pay-per-view, a dark match was held, which saw Jeff Hardy, the charismatic wrestler, triumph over Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) in a thrilling encounter. In a display of remarkable agility and precision, Hardy executed a perfect Swanton bomb to secure his victory over his formidable opponent. ## WINNER: Jeff Hardy ## MATCH TIME: N/A ## MATCh RATING: ** ## WWE Tag Team Championship: John Morrison and The Miz (c) Vs Finlay and Hornswoggle ## The opening match of the event showcased a tag team battle for the WWE Tag Team Championship. The reigning champions, John Morrison and The Miz, put their title on the line against the formidable duo of Finlay and Hornswoggle. The match ignited with a burst of energy as Finlay entered the ring, expertly crotching Morrison on the ring apron. Morrison, however, retaliated with a swift dropkick on Finlay, setting the tone for the rest of the match. ## Miz and Morrison quickly took control of the match and dominated their opponents for the majority of the bout. A flurry of impressive moves from Hornswoggle, including a hurricanrana, a stunner, and a bulldog, briefly gave his team the upper hand, but the tide soon turned against them once again. Both teams engaged in a spirited exchange of offense, showcasing their agility and technical prowess. ## In the end, it was Morrison who secured the victory for his team, albeit through controversial means. He regained consciousness after being hit with the Celtic Cross by Finlay, and pushed Hornswoggle off the top ropes, brutally slamming him into the ring mat to gain the pinfall and retain their tag team title. Though the match was a fiercely contested battle, it ultimately served as a fitting opening act for the Night of Champions event. ## WINNER: John Morrison and The Miz ## MATCH TIME: 8:46 ## MATCh RATING: *** ## WWE United States Championship: Matt Hardy (c) Vs Chavo Guerrero (with Bam Neely) ## Following the exhilarating opening tag team bout, the Night of Champions event continued with a showdown for the prestigious WWE United States Championship. The reigning champion, Matt Hardy, defended his title against the wily veteran Chavo Guerrero, who was accompanied by the menacing Bam Neely at ringside. ## Guerrero wasted no time in asserting his dominance and launched a sustained assault on Hardy's left knee, utilizing his ring smarts and technical expertise to great effect. Neely also joined in on the action, viciously grabbing Hardy's leg around the ring post while Guerrero diverted the referee's attention. ## However, despite Guerrero's early momentum, Hardy refused to go down without a fight. He displayed remarkable resilience and fortitude, weathering Guerrero's attacks and launching some of his own. Guerrero attempted to capitalize on his advantage by executing his signature Frog splash, but Hardy was one step ahead and evaded the attack. ## In the end, it was Hardy who emerged victorious, thanks to his sheer determination and cunning in the ring. He evaded Guerrero's attempted Three Amigos vertical suplex and followed it up with his devastating Twist of Fate finisher, which he followed with a cover and pinfall, successfully retaining his hard-earned WWE United States Championship. It was a hard-fought victory that showcased Hardy's incredible grit and in-ring acumen. ## WINNER: Matt Hardy ## MATCH TIME: 9:22 ## MATCh RATING: ***½ ## Triple Threat match for the ECW Championship: Mark Henry Vs Kane (c) and Big Show ## The third electrifying match of the night was a Triple Threat encounter for the coveted ECW Championship. The reigning champion, Kane, had to defend his title against two formidable opponents: The Big Show and Mark Henry. The match kicked off with The Big Show and Kane collaborating to gang up on Henry. The gigantic Big Show hurled Kane out of the ring, causing the match to come to a temporary halt while medical personnel tended to Kane's injury at ringside. ## Back inside the squared circle, Big Show took advantage of his dominance over Henry, unleashing a flurry of powerful strikes. But the return of Kane changed the tide of the match. Kane hit a flying clothesline on Henry and an uppercut on Big Show, followed by splashes on both opponents in the corner. ## Henry then caught Kane in a bear hug, but Kane broke out and hit a double chokeslam on both rivals. A breathtaking superplex from Kane sent Big Show crashing to the canvas, but Henry capitalized on the moment and executed a powerful splash on Kane, resulting in a successful pinfall and crowning Henry as the new ECW champion. With this win, the ECW Championship was once again back to the ECW brand. ## WINNER: Mark Henry ## MATCH TIME: 8:18## MATCh RATING: ***½ ## World Tag Team Championship: Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes (c) VS Hardcore Holly (c) and Cody Rhodes (c) ## The ensuing bout was for the prestigious World Tag Team Championship, with the champions, Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes, defending their titles against Ted DiBiase Jr. and a secretive partner. Before the contest got underway, DiBiase approached the microphone and informed the audience that his partner had been held up and requested a postponement of the bout. Refusing to forfeit, DiBiase challenged Holly and Rhodes to a two-on-one handicap match, with the assurance that his partner would show up shortly. The match commenced with Rhodes and DiBiase in the ring. ## However, DiBiase expressed his desire to square off against Holly instead. Holly was subsequently tagged in, but Rhodes betrayed Holly and attacked him, making a heel turn. To everyone's astonishment, Rhodes revealed himself to be DiBiase's partner. After the turn of events, DiBiase locked the Million Dollar Dream on Holly, thus clinching the victory and the World Tag Team Championship with DiBiase and Rhodes being crowned as the new tag team titleholders. ## WINNER: Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes ## MATCH TIME: 1:28## MATCh RATING: ** ## WWE Intercontinental Championship: Kofi Kingston Vs Chris Jericho (c) (with Lance Cade) ## The subsequent bout showcased the much-awaited clash for the coveted WWE Intercontinental Championship, as the reigning champion Chris Jericho squared off against the newly drafted Raw superstar Kofi Kingston. At the onset of the contest, Kingston displayed his agility and acrobatic prowess by overpowering Jericho with a stunning body-block and subsequently leaping onto him from the top ring corner. However, Jericho retaliated by shoving Kingston to the hard canvas outside the ring. As the action resumed inside the squared circle, Jericho applied an excruciating abdominal stretch submission hold, but Kingston managed to wriggle out of it. The two combatants engaged in a see-saw battle with neither willing to back down. ## Jericho locked Kingston in his signature Walls of Jericho submission hold, but the resilient Kingston refused to succumb to the pain. However, the match took an unexpected turn when Shawn Michaels, the Heartbreak Kid, made his way through the frenzied crowd and hit Lance Cade with his famous Sweet Chin Music finishing maneuver at ringside. Jericho, distracted by the commotion outside the ring, released his hold on Kingston and lunged at Michaels, knocking him off the ring apron. Sensing an opening, Kingston delivered his finisher move, Trouble on Paradise, and pinned Jericho to claim the Intercontinental Championship. The fans erupted in cheers as Kingston basked in his hard-earned victory. ## WINNER: Kofi Kingston ## MATCH TIME: 13:28 ## MATCh RATING: ***½ ## Mickie James (c) Vs Katie Lea Burchill (with Paul Burchill): Singles match for the WWE Women's Championship ## The penultimate match of the night featured a singles bout between WWE Women's Champion Mickie James and the formidable Katie Lea Burchill, who was accompanied by her brother Paul Burchill. From the get-go, both competitors displayed remarkable athleticism and technical prowess, engaging in a gripping back-and-forth tussle. However, it was Lea who gained the upper hand by hurling James shoulder-first into the middle turnbuckle, thereby inflicting damage on her opponent's shoulder. ## Despite James' valiant efforts to mount a comeback, Lea continued to dominate the proceedings by relentlessly working on James' injured shoulder. The Women's Champion refused to back down, though, and fought back with a series of fierce maneuvers. Although James managed to take control of the match at various intervals, she was unable to vanquish her tenacious opponent. ## In the end, it was James who emerged victorious by executing a breathtaking Mickie DT on Lea, thereby cementing her status as the reigning Women's Champion. With this hard-fought win, James proved once again that she is one of the most talented and resilient performers in the WWE women's division. ## WINNER: Mickie James ## MATCH TIME: 7:17 ## MATCh RATING: *** ## Edge (c) Vs Batista: Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship ## In the penultimate match of the night, Edge put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Batista, who utilized his imposing physique to his advantage. Batista demonstrated his strength by sidewalk slamming Edge after flinging him to the corner of the ring. The bout witnessed a seesaw battle between both combatants. Edge attempted to execute a shoulder block takedown on Batista, but the latter responded with a devastating Big Boot. In the middle of the match, Edge's accomplices, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, wheeled the General Manager Vickie Guerrero to the ringside to witness the contest. ## Batista thrashed Edge with the steel steps and delivered a spinebuster, nearly securing the victory. Edge attempted another shoulder takedown, but Batista evaded it, causing Edge to collide with the ringpost. Batista then executed his signature move, the Batista Bomb, and went for the cover. As the referee was about to count the three, Vickie intervened and ordered him to stop. The referee started counting Edge out of the ring, but Edge struck him, leading Vickie to call in a new referee, Chavo Guerrero. ## Taking advantage of the situation, Edge struck Batista with the World title belt, giving him the opportunity to claim the victory in the match. Guerrero entered the ring and raised Edge's hand as the victor, while Batista vented his frustration by tossing Vickie onto Hawkins, Ryder, and Guerrero, who were at ringside. It was a hard-fought battle, with both superstars leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of victory. ## WINNER: Edge ## MATCH TIME: 17:10 ## MATCh RATING: **** ## Triple H (c) Vs John Cena: Singles match for the WWE Championship ## In the highly anticipated main event, John Cena challenged Triple H for the WWE Championship. At the start of the match, both gladiators exchanged impressive moves and maneuvers, with Triple H gaining the early advantage by delivering a devastating high knee followed by a facebuster knee smash. Nevertheless, Cena managed to shift the momentum in his favor after executing a flying leg drop bulldog. Cena went for a Five Knuckle Shuffle, but Triple H countered with a spinebuster. ## The Cenation Leader tried to continue his offense but Triple H grounded him with a series of attacks, until Cena forced Triple H out of the ring, causing the King of Kings to land awkwardly on his left knee. Capitalizing on Triple H's vulnerability, Cena relentlessly attacked his opponent's knee, slamming it against the ring post twice. Back in the ring, Cena continued his dominance by applying a chop block on Triple H's weakened knee. ## Cena then applied the STF submission hold on Triple H, but the cerebral assassin managed to escape. Triple H attempted to execute his finishing maneuver, the Pedigree, but Cena countered it, only to almost get pinned after a close near-fall. Both warriors rose to their feet and Cena executed the FU on Triple H, but once again, he could only get a two-count. In the end, Triple H executed the Pedigree on Cena, securing the pinfall victory and retaining his WWE Championship, effectively making the title exclusive to SmackDown. ## WINNER: Triple H ## MATCH TIME: 21:38 ## MATCh RATING: ****½ ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

The 2023 Backlash was the 18th Backlash professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. The event took place on Saturday, May 6, 2023, at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. ## A total of seven matches took place at the event, including the previously mentioned Bad Bunny match. In the main event, Cody Rhodes emerged victorious over Brock Lesnar. Other noteworthy matches saw The Bloodline (comprised of Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sikoa) defeat Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Matt Riddle in a thrilling six-man tag team match. Additionally, Rhea Ripley successfully defended her SmackDown Women's Championship against Zelina Vega, who hails from Puerto Rico. The opening bout saw Bianca Belair retain her Raw Women's Championship by defeating Iyo Sky. ## Bianca Belair Vs IYO SKY: Raw Women’s Championship ## In an electrifying match that kept the crowd on the edge of their seats, Bianca Belair successfully defended her Raw Women's Championship against IYO SKY. Despite Belair receiving a thunderous ovation upon entering the arena, the audience showered her with boos during her offense, as if she were the polarizing John Cena, while cheering on SKY's maneuvers.## SKY initially dominated the bout, but Belair came back with an array of impressive moves, including a backbreaker, dropkicks, and a delayed vertical suplex. In a remarkable display of strength, Belair hoisted SKY up with a one-arm press slam before dropping her to the mat. However, a slight mistiming caused SKY to land awkwardly on her face. Undeterred, Belair proceeded to execute a moonsault, narrowly missing the three count. ## SKY missed a charge, allowing Belair to send her crashing into the turnbuckle with her previously injured arm. SKY retaliated with a springboard dropkick, setting the stage for a series of thrilling maneuvers that had the audience roaring in approval. Belair attempted a 450 splash, but SKY managed to get her knees up just in time. SKY then applied a crossface, but Belair managed to counter out of it. ## The two continued to trade counters, with SKY executing a facebuster for a nearfall, followed by double knees in the corner. SKY blocked a second KOD attempt and tossed Belair out of the ring. A daring move by SKY saw her execute a moonsault off the top rope, drawing a two count inside the ring. ## Belair countered with an avalanche powerbomb, which nearly earned her a pinfall victory. However, Bayley and Dakota Kai made their presence felt, causing a distraction that allowed SKY to seize the advantage momentarily. SKY attempted a roll-up, which appeared to be a three count to the raucous crowd, but was only a very close nearfall. In a heated moment, Belair used SKY's body to knock Kai off the apron, allowing her to recover. ## As SKY ascended the top rope to deliver a moonsault, Bayley held Belair down by the braid, prompting the referee to intervene. A moment of hesitation by SKY proved costly, as Belair managed to avoid the moonsault and deliver a devastating KOD, securing the hard-fought victory. ## WINNER: Bianca Belair via pinfall ## MATCH RATING: **** ## Seth Rollins Vs Omos (w/MVP) ## Prior to the commencement of the match, Seth Rollins was caught off guard by a sudden boot to the face from Omos while reveling in the crowd's enthusiastic rendition of his theme song. The official checked on Rollins before the bell rang, but Omos wasted no time in sending Rollins crashing to the mat with a powerful shoulder tackle.## Rollins attempted to rally back by posting Omos and launching himself off the ropes with a suicide dive, but the gargantuan Omos barely flinched. Despite this, Rollins persisted with a series of well-executed kicks and a dropkick to Omos' legs, bringing the towering figure down to one knee. A swift thrust kick from Rollins followed, but Omos demonstrated his immense strength by countering a Pedigree with a forceful back body drop.## Rollins persevered, managing to stun Omos with a tornado DDT and a subsequent frog splash, but to no avail as Omos kicked out at one. Continuing to rain down blows upon Omos, Rollins found himself thwarted in his attempts to deliver a curb stomp, as Omos remained unmoved, akin to Bobby Lashley's tenacity in previous bouts. Omos retaliated with a devastating chokeslam, but only garnered a two count.## As the match progressed, Rollins kicked his game into high gear, nailing Omos with a stomp after MVP distracted the official, who was subsequently superkicked off the apron by Rollins. Another stomp from Rollins almost secured the victory, but to his surprise, Omos kicked out. Undeterred, Rollins ascended the turnbuckles and connected with a stomp from the top rope, finally pinning Omos for the three count. The audience was jubilant as Rollins emerged victorious.## Overall, the match was adequate, with Rollins displaying great skill and perseverance, though perhaps slightly prolonged. ## WINNER: Seth Rollins via pinfall ## MATCH RATING: *** ## Triple Threat Match: Austin Theory Vs Bronson Reed Vs Bobby Lashley: United States Championship ## Lashley was relentlessly pummeling Theory until the latter and Reed forged an alliance to try and overpower Lashley. However, their coalition was short-lived as Reed took down Theory with a body block, exposing the fragility of their partnership. Lashley then ensnared Theory in the Hurt Lock, but Theory was able to utilize the ropes as a lifeline to break free. ## Seizing the opportunity, Reed crushed Lashley with Tsunami, yet Theory thwarted his teammate's victory by interrupting the count. Undeterred, Theory executed a rolling blockbuster on Reed and hoisted the hefty wrestler on his shoulders, only for Reed to slip away before Theory could unleash his A-Town Down finishing move. Reed then hit a thunderous powerslam and attempted a moonsault, but Theory anticipated the maneuver and evaded it, allowing Lashley to spear Reed out of nowhere. With Lashley momentarily dazed, Theory tossed him out of the ring and swiftly rolled up Reed for the three-count, securing the win. ## WINNER: Austin Theory via pinfall ## MATCH RATING: ** ## Rhea Ripley Vs Zelina Vega: SmackDown Women’s Championship ## When Vega was introduced, the crowd erupted into a thunderous ovation, leaving her practically in tears. She made a stunning entrance, sporting Puerto Rican flag-themed gear with a magnificent flag cape. Ripley, on the other hand, donned a white outfit with purple lining. ## Before the match, Vega's mother, Monique, presented her with a chancla, which she promptly hurled at Ripley. However, Ripley quickly took control of the match, despite Vega's attempts to fight back with forearms, buoyed by the crowd's cheers. A resounding headbutt from Ripley halted Vega's momentum, but she managed to stun Ripley with a DDT. ## Vega followed up with a spectacular 619 and a Meteora that earned her a close nearfall. Not one to be defeated easily, Ripley retaliated with a fierce kick to Vega's head and executed a Rip-tide, securing the decisive pinfall win. ## WINNER: Rhea Ripley via pinfall ## MATCH RATING: **** ## San Juan Street Fight: Bad Bunny Vs Damian Priest ## Undoubtedly, the WWE street fight between Priest and Bad Bunny was a spectacle to behold. At the onset, Priest attempted to outmaneuver Bad Bunny, but the latter stunned the audience with a magnificent Michinoku Driver only a minute into the match, almost garnering a two-count. Afterward, Bad Bunny seized a kendo stick, but Priest promptly interrupted him, snapping the stick in half and delivering a thunderous slam. ## Despite Bad Bunny's several attempts to mount a comeback, Priest comfortably subdued him, capping it off with his signature South of Heaven finishing move. Although Priest could have claimed the victory less than five minutes into the match, he inexplicably pulled Bad Bunny up at the last moment. With the crowd egging him on, Bad Bunny launched an assault on Priest with kendo stick shots and a tornado DDT, eventually scaling the ropes and delivering a flying crossbody to the outside. The pop from the audience was immense as Bad Bunny smacked Priest with trash can lids and connected with a falcon arrow for a near-fall. ## As Priest noticed that he was bleeding, Bad Bunny invited him back into the ring, and Priest seemingly attempted to leave but abruptly turned around, landing a brutal kick on Bad Bunny. Priest used the kendo stick given to him by Savio Vega to pummel Bad Bunny, and the audience chanted his name in support. The fight eventually spilled into the crowd, where Priest delivered a falcon arrow off some high equipment boxes, sending Bad Bunny through tables. ## Afterward, Adam Pearce and other officials rushed to Bad Bunny's aid, but Priest ignored them and carried Bad Bunny back to ringside. Priest tried to land a roundhouse kick, but Bad Bunny evaded it, and Priest inadvertently kicked the ring post. With Bad Bunny seizing the upper hand, he pummeled Priest's injured leg with the kendo stick and then slammed it into the post. Priest beseeched the referee for mercy as Bad Bunny smacked his knee against the post with a steel chair. As Bad Bunny prepared to deliver a final chair shot, Priest begged him off, only to be met with a swift low blow from Bad Bunny. ## Dominik Mysterio and Finn Bálor then emerged from backstage to attack Bad Bunny, with Carlito arriving to his theme music, inciting the crowd. In a chaotic melee, Rey Mysterio joined the fray, but he was knocked down, while Vega entered the ring to pummel Bálor and Dom. The LWO then appeared to put the boots to Dom, as Bálor fled. Vega dropped Bálor with a roundhouse kick and also took down Dom. As Dom and Bálor scampered off, Bad Bunny locked Priest in a figure four, and Priest tried to counter with a chokeslam, but Bad Bunny transitioned it into a cradle, securing a two-count. ## With Priest charging forward, he collided with a steel chair, allowing Bad Bunny to execute a sliced bread #2 for a near-fall. Bad Bunny finished Priest off with a Canadian Destroyer for the well-deserved pinfall victory. The crowd erupted into a frenzy, marking the end of a truly epic match. ## WINNER: Bad Bunny via pinfall ## MATCH RATING: ****½ ## Six-man tag team match: Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso Vs Matt Riddle & Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn ## The match was indeed riveting, with Sikoa almost executing the infamous Samoan Spike on Jey Uso, leaving the crowd in awe. The babyface team exhibited their dominance over the Usos, but it was not long before Sikoa tagged himself in to take on Zayn. The Bloodline then took control of the bout, leaving Zayn's partners incapacitated. ## After dropping Sikoa with a spectacular tornado DDT, Zayn tagged in Riddle who unleashed a flurry of attacks on the Usos before stunning the Bloodline with a breathtaking dive. However, Jimmy Uso countered with a devastating superkick, which resulted in a near-fall for Riddle. Riddle then executed a powerful superplex on Jimmy, followed by Owens' stunning senton bomb, but it still wasn't enough to put the Usos away. Owens managed to dodge Jimmy's superkick, causing him to inadvertently strike Jey. Owens then went for a senton, but Jey had his knees up, leading to a series of superkick trades between Owens and Jey. ## Suddenly, Jey accused Zayn of trying to ruin their family and went for a running hip attack, only to be interrupted by Sikoa. Before Sikoa could execute his move, Jey tagged himself back in by striking Sikoa in the chest, which triggered a reaction from the audience. ## Zayn then delivered a Helluva Kick to Sikoa after Jey ducked, but Sikoa broke up the pinfall. Sikoa then appeared to turn on Jey, but Riddle prevented him with a fierce knee strike. Jimmy then hurled Riddle out of the ring, Owens responded with a superkick on Jimmy, and Sikoa leveled Owens with a Samoan spike. Sikoa sensed someone approaching him and prepared to unleash his Samoan Spike. It was none other than Jey Uso, who did not resist but instead challenged Sikoa to hit him. Zayn intervened before things got out of hand. ## Riddle subsequently tagged in and gave Jey the Bro Derek, but Sikoa had secretly tagged himself in and promptly leveled Riddle with a devastating Samoan Spike, sealing the win for his team. Overall, the match was a display of impressive athleticism and skill, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats. ## WINNERS: The Bloodline ## MATCH RATING: **** ## Cody Rhodes Vs Brock Lesnar ## As Lesnar made his entrance, Rhodes ambushed him with the steel steps and a steel chair, unleashing a brutal assault. Despite the attack, the match began, and Rhodes opened with a swift Disaster Kick. However, Lesnar swiftly caught Rhodes' Cody Cutter attempt and responded with a thunderous German suplex. Rhodes attempted to regain control, but Lesnar slammed him with a fallaway suplex and continued to dominate with an array of suplexes. ## As Lesnar hit another German suplex, Rhodes inadvertently tore off a turnbuckle cover. The chants of "Suplex City" and "Let's go Cody" reverberated throughout the arena. However, Rhodes seized an opportunity and evaded Lesnar's charge, sending him face-first into the exposed buckle. The impact resulted in Lesnar profusely bleeding, and his entire face was soon drenched in blood.## Rhodes capitalized on Lesnar's disorientation, landing a cutter and a Disaster Kick. He unleashed a flurry of blows on Lesnar, the blood from Lesnar's face coating Rhodes' midsection. Rhodes then executed a Cody Cutter and consecutively delivered Cross Rhodes, earning a close nearfall. ## Lesnar thwarted Rhodes' next Cross Rhodes attempt, landing an F5 for a nearfall. The referee had a handful of towels to tend to Lesnar's bloodied face, but perhaps instructed to proceed with the match, the referee kicked them aside and continued the action. With a bloody face, Lesnar applied a Kimura Lock on Rhodes, but Rhodes counterattacked with a sudden cradle, leading to a shocking pinfall victory. ## WINNER: Cody Rhodes ## MATCH RATING: ***½ ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

WWE Night of Champions 2023 Results: Winners, Matches, Venue, Attendance

BY SACNILK

Here are the complete results for WWE Night of Champions 2023, set to take place on Saturday, May 27, 2023, at the illustrious Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia. This highly anticipated event will not only mark the revival of Night of Champions but also serve as the inaugural Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, solidifying WWE's commitment to its 10-year partnership in support of Saudi Vision 2030.## While the original Night of Champions concept (2007-2015) featured every main roster championship being contested, the 2023 edition will deviate from this tradition. Instead, the event will celebrate the coronation of a new World Heavyweight Champion, adding an air of excitement and anticipation to the proceedings. Furthermore, this night will be particularly momentous as it commemorates Roman Reigns' remarkable reign of 1,000 days as the Universal Champion. ## In a departure from the norm, Reigns will not be defending his title. Rather, he will join forces with Solo Sikoa, forming an unlikely partnership to challenge Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn for the coveted Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. This electrifying clash will serve as one of the three marquee main events, alongside the highly anticipated World Heavyweight Championship match and an explosive showdown between the enigmatic Cody Rhodes and the indomitable Brock Lesnar.## Originally, the event was announced under the moniker of "King and Queen of the Ring," intending to revive the prestigious King of the Ring tournament. However, WWE opted to revive Night of Champions instead, infusing the event with renewed energy and excitement. This decision not only reflects the reintroduction of the brand split in July 2016 but also symbolizes WWE's commitment to evolving its product and providing unparalleled entertainment experiences.## As a testament to the ever-changing landscape of media consumption, Night of Champions 2023 will be the first edition to stream exclusively on Peacock. Following the merger between the American version of the WWE Network and Peacock in March 2021, this partnership enables fans to witness the exhilarating action and drama of WWE through this innovative platform. ## WWE Night of Champions 2023 Results ResultMatch TypeTime Seth "Freakin" Rollins defeated AJ Styles via pinfall Tournament final to crown the new World Heavyweight Champion 20:43 Trish Stratus defeated Becky Lynch Singles match 14:40 Gunther (c) defeated Mustafa Ali Singles match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship 8:40 Asuka defeated Bianca Belair (c) Singles match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship 17:40 Rhea Ripley (c) defeated Natalya Singles match for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship 1:10 Brock Lesnar defeated Cody Rhodes Singles Match 9:40 Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn (c) defeated The Bloodline (Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa) (with Paul Heyman) Tag team match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship 26:30 ## What Time Is WWE Night Of Champions 2023? ## WWE Night of Champions event is set to be broadcast live on Peacock, the official streaming partner of WWE in the United States. For those interested in accessing the live stream, a monthly Peacock subscription is available for a modest $4.99, or an even more economical option is to sign up for the yearly subscription at $49.99. This will provide you with uninterrupted access to the thrilling action-packed event. ## It is also noteworthy that the event can be live-streamed on the WWE Network, albeit at a higher cost of $9.99 per month. However, the option of choosing Peacock is more cost-effective, and subscribers will not miss out on any of the electrifying moments that WWE Night of Champions has in store. ## On the other hand, for those who prefer a written narrative of the event, SunSport will have match-by-match coverage of the entire event. ## The highly anticipated Night of Champions event by WWE is set to commence right here in the United States, precisely at the stroke of 1 p.m. Eastern Time. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
