WON Reveales [B]RUMORED[/B] Night Of Champions Card

[Jack-Hammer]

Dave Meltzer has done some digging and, apparently, his sources have given him an indication of what the NOC card is going to look like. We already know that John Cena will take on Alberto Del Rio for the WWE Championship and these others are just speculation at this point in time.

WWE Championship: Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena

World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Ezekiel Jackson

WWE United States Championship: Dolph Ziggler vs. Alex Riley or John Morrison

WWE Tag Team Championship: Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. TBD

WWE Divas Championship: Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix

Grudge Match: CM Punk vs. Kevin Nash

The Divas & WHC matches are both pretty obvious when you look at things. They're continuing the story with the "Divas of Doom" and Mark Henry became #1 contender for the WHC last Friday.

The challengers for the WWE Tag Team Championship have yet to be named, that is if this is anything more than just rumors.

A match between Ziggler & Riley seems logical, though I'd much prefer John Morrison as I think it'd be a far superior match.

I'm hoping that the IC title match doesn't turn out to be Cody Rhodes against Ezekiel Jackson. Rhodes has already beaten him several times already, including a very decisive and outright dominant victory over him last week on SmackDown!.

A match between Punk & Nash is also something that seems logical. Like a lot of people, I'm not really all that anxious to see Kevin Nash wrestle again but it's going to happen sooner or later. Punk should be able to carry Nash through a solid match well above Nash's usual abilities and there could be some good storytelling going on.

If this does turn out to be the NOC card, it appears pretty solid on paper.

 

[y2jvaljcasta]

I don't think any of these are a surprise "digging" really? Any of us could clearly come to this decision on our own.

I agree I really have no interest in seeing Big Sexy wrestle, but hey, I just won't buy the PPV.

I also DO NOT want to see Orton vs Henry... I like what they are doing with Henry but no matter how much I want to love him, I'm still bored.

Zeke vs Cody= BORING!

Alex Riley is great, very talented but no one touches John Morrison!

 

[hunterXhunter21]

I would have thought Ziggler would be going against Swagger since they have been kinda at odds the past few weeks. Also Kofi/Evan vs Truth/Miz. I really can only see the tag titles and the diva title changing hands. Maybe the US title. Vicki might cost him the title by mistake.

 

[y2jvaljcasta]

I agree Swagger vs Dolph is a strong possibility or maybe a mix up of Alex and JoMo in there as well. Although I do feel it would be a step back for Morrision

 

[Swarles Barkley]

Wow, the tag title match is Bourne/Kofi vs. TBD. That's some great digging by Meltzer there.

I think the US title match could be a four-way between Riley, Ziggler, Swagger and Morrison. But all the matches are pretty obvious, to be honest.

 

[a7xfan93]

if this will be the card, then it seems like a waste of time to watch or waste money on.

Cena vs. Del Rio seems like a pretty boring match, along with orton vs henry.
the diva's match, no one really cares about.
while i agree that cody is a good athlete, the match itself with zeke seems bland. the only match that seems like it would be good is the tag team match. other than that, NOC will be unsuccessful. there is no excitement

 

[Remix]

Well it seems to me that a lof of this card could have been put together with simple guesswork But I'll have a look and give my thoughts on the matches.

WWE Championship: Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena

This was set in stone this week, and should be a good match.

World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry

Like Cena vs ADR, this has already been announced, so no sources/guesswork needed.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Ezekiel Jackson

I strongly doubt this. Cody's beaten Zeke cleanly already so there's no reason to give him another shot at the IC title. I will be shocked if this match is anounced to be on the card.

WWE United States Championship: Dolph Ziggler vs. Alex Riley or John Morrison

Again, this match doesn't look likely to happen in my eyes. Ziggler has had no interaction with Morrison and looks to be going into a feud with Jack Swagger based on the last two weeks of RAW.

WWE Tag Team Championship: Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. TBD

Wonderful sleuthing there Dave . There's all of one heel tag team in the company, and they still have their rematch clause.

WWE Divas Championship: Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix

No shit one of the DoD are going to face Kelly. They're the designated villains of the division. Again, wonderful sleuthing that yielded the same answer as my common sence.

Grudge Match: CM Punk vs. Kevin Nash

And another match that anyone watching the show could tell you is going to happen at some point. I don't think it'll be at NOC though. I think it's a bit too soon but I've been wrong multiple times before.

So yeah this card looks like a combination of the blindingly obvious and vauge guesses which have clear get out clauses (Oh, Ziggler isn't facing either of those two guys because Vince changed his mind and Kofen are facing Tungacutty but Vince only made up his mind about that after I got this information)

 

[justinsayne]

WWE Championship: Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena
World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry

These two are pretty well locked up.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Ezekiel Jackson

Makes sense, though I wouldn't be surprised if they add Dibiase & make it a triple threat, not betting on it, as he'll probably just be out there in Rhodes corner.

WWE United States Championship: Dolph Ziggler vs. Alex Riley or John Morrison

I keep thinking this will be a fatel 4-way, Dolph vs. Riley vs. JoMo vs. Swagger, only cause I'm thinking Vickie turns on Dolph & Swagger walking out as the new US champ

WWE Tag Team Championship: Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. TBD

I have a feeling this is going to be Kofi/Bourne vs. Miz/Troof, why the fuck else would they just randomly throw Miz & Truth together right before a PPV where only title matches are on the card?

WWE Divas Championship: Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix

This one see,s pretty obvious, though this is another one where I won't be shocked if they go fetal 4-way, and add Nattie & Eve to the match

Grudge Match: CM Punk vs. Kevin Nash

Seeing as how they keep pushing the "Nash is not signed to WWE" angle here, I'm guessing there going to pull the ol' unsanctioned match trick out of their bag with this one... I love Punk, but not really sure I want to see this match at all, I have about zero faith in Big Lazy when it comes to wrestling an actual match anymore.

 

[OwenHart100%legend]

Wow! Someone had better find out who Meltzer's sources are Iv heard personally that its, Mr S.Tating the bloody Obvious! I mean if someone had posted a thread asking for a potential NOC card most of us would not have been far away from this! On the card itself, looking forward to seeing ADR main eventing, Henry v Orton does nothing for me same goes for Zeke and Rhodes, would love to see the Usos v Air Kingston (as i am now renaming them) anything Punk does right now is spot on, but I have no interest in seeing Big Sexy in the ring, on the mic has been bad enough, and I would prefer to see Natalya in the divas match, all in all Im hardly blown away by the potential card.

Oh wait there Iv just had word from Meltzers sources and apparently they are lining up Cena v The Rock @ WM this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You heard it hear first! Thanks Dave!

 

[Daniel]

WWE Championship: Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena

Was announced. Should be a good match and a decent angle.

World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry

It's already been announced. I'm still not sure how I feel about this one. I doubt the match will be up to much, but maybe the angle will be enjoyable. I guess I'll have to wait till tonight.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Ezekiel Jackson

Please god no! Jackson is crazy boring and this has been done two or three times already. Rhodes has beaten Jackson clean, so there is no reason for them to face off again. I think we may see Rhodes vs. Gabriel, who has been getting a decent push lately.

WWE United States Championship: Dolph Ziggler vs. Alex Riley or John Morrison

I'm not sure about this one. Ziggler and Swagger seem to be on their way to feuding. Maybe we'll see a Championship Scramble or six-pack challenge. Raw's midcard is great at the moment with John Morrison, Alex Riley, R-Truth, maybe Miz as well as Ziggles and Swagger.

WWE Tag Team Championship: Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. TBD

Miz and R-Truth. I can't see WWE wanting to put Otunga and McGillicutty on PPV in a spot that could be taken by two major WWE players. Sure, take the championship out of this match and you just have a Raw tag team match, but so what? I know I'd enjoy this match.

WWE Divas Championship: Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix

Well it's going to be one of the Divas of Doom. Phoenix has already had her title shot, so I'm edging towards Natalya for this one. But on the other hand, I think Kelly Kelly will lose at NOC and as Phoenix is the focal point of the DOD, she will take it.

Grudge Match: CM Punk vs. Kevin Nash

I was hoping WWE were going to play the long game with this match and save it, mainly because Nash is still "unsigned". Like justinsayne, I think an unsanctioned match will be the way to go. As for the match itself, Punk is one of hose guys who can put on an entertaining match with anybody, so I'm not particularly worried.

 

[Mr$intheBank]

All these matches are obvious but I think they might do an addition to a couple of the matches. They could add Jack Swagger to the U.S title match and SHOULD add John Morrison to it make it a fatal4 way or at least a triple threat.

With R-Truth and The Miz as a new duo, I think they should put them in the tag title match and make it a Triangle Tag match: Air Kofi vs. Otunga and McCuty vs. Awesome Truth. That would definitely shake things up. I think WWE gave Kofi and Bourne the titles because as FACES they can lose to the HEELs of Truth and Miz. Overall, this PPV doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell to be better than the last two PPVs. Atleast it will be better than Capital Punishment.

 

[Cebeards]

WWE Championship: Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena

no guess work involved, it's happening, should involve some form of conspiracy so that might make it worthwhile. I would like to see some scenario where Cena "taps out", like he gets put in the armbar and Laurinitis calls for the bell.

World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry

No churching this up, it's obviously happening and I guess we will have to wait and see if Orton can make it managable, don't be suprised if Christian and Sheamus are injected in some way. No offense, Henry can't draw, pull, or even move that much.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Ezekiel Jackson

Nah, this doesn't make sense, I think they should start the Cody/Ted program already, hell bring in the Dads, make it a spectacle.

WWE United States Championship: Dolph Ziggler vs. Alex Riley or John Morrison

Umm...huh? I know they started this Riley thing, now they are kinda moving past it. So, wouldn't the logical choice for the current storyline be Ziggler vs Swagger...or we could continue the Vicki tension, I would prefer a 4 way match, were Vicki "accidently" costs Ziggler the belt, giving it to Swagger and adding depth to the storyline. This is a weird prediction overall though. I see it being more complex than a one on one

WWE Tag Team Championship: Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. TBD

You put no thought into this one, it's gonna call it now; Altitude Era .vs. Awesome Truth, why else put Miz/Truth together right now? This has potential.

WWE Divas Championship: Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix

Blah, make the beast beat Kelly, you need an imposing Diva in control for when Kong comes back; but this one is obvious...

Grudge Match: CM Punk vs. Kevin Nash

eh, oh well. We will see what happens. No way this will be a clean match but this too doesn't involve a lot of thought. Has to happen at some point.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

WWE Championship: Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena

Already knew about it, sure It'll be a solid match and all but I'm not all that interested in the actual feud.

World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry

Ugh, Mark Henry shouldn't be in a World Heavyweight Championship match. I get hes being built as a huge heel and I get hes been dominant, but it's still Mizark Henry and people still don't care that he's decimating Superstars. Orton will win, won't be surprised.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Ezekiel Jackson

Much like Henry, Jackson doesn't bring any excitement as a challenger to Cody Rhodes. Rhodes has beaten him, three times now? I think that's enough for someone to go to the back of the line, isn't it? Either way, Rhodes will retain, nobody will be shocked and that'll end that.

WWE United States Championship: Dolph Ziggler vs. Alex Riley or John Morrison

Ziggler vs. Swagger is what I was hoping for, not Ziggler vs. Riley or Morrison. Please don't let it be Morrison, the dude does nothing for me, I see nothing in him at all. Riley has everything, everything Morrison lacks. Riley has flair, he looks determined, good on the microphone for a guy some douchebags still claim to be "green", while John Morrison isn't even all that liked by the owner of the company. Riley vs. Ziggler if not a last minute transition to Ziggler vs. Swagger.

WWE Tag Team Championship: Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. TBD

Awesome Truth, McTungacutty or Kings of Wrestling. Take your pick. Mine is The Miz and R-Truth, realistically that is. From a totally biased, wanting perspective I'm hoping it's Kings of Wrestling. They're rumored to be debuting at the end of August/early September, this would be perfect.

WWE Divas Championship: Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix

Kelly Kelly is still Divas Champion, why? Beth will hopefully destroy and eat her alive, spit her out and take the Divas Championship. Having it on someone worth a shit in the ring may bring back some momentum to the belt. So here's to Beth Phoenix.

Grudge Match: CM Punk vs. Kevin Nash

This is a match I for one want to see, not for the actual wrestling as it will probably suck due to Nash's wonky legs, but more for the story of the bout and the angle development that'll come with it. This could blow the entire CM Punk/Nash/Triple H angle wide open, and that's what most want to see right now, because it's easily the best thing they have on television currently.

Overall, solid card. Not too great on paper, although I know some will disagree. If they give the IC Championship match to someone other than Jackson, I'll admit it's solid and if they give Swagger the US Championship match I'll admit its good.

And if reports become rampant that Kings of Wrestling will face Bourne and Kingston I'll purchase the event. That's how far I'll go in-terms of excitement to watch Kings of Wrestling.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

not a bad card but im hoping for a fatal 4 way between ziggler,riely,morrison and swagger for the us title as i dont wanna see jomo off the ppv and a-ry and swagger both in the match as well makes sense..i could see vickie screwing dolph over as well...also the tag titles id like to see kofi and evan defend against mcgillicutty and otunga let truth and miz gain steam as a tag team more before putting them into a tag title match plus a guarneteed retain by kofi and evan is always good for making them look strong...beth should fight kelly but where does that leave natayla if beth wins the title?

 

[Midnite Express 2009]

So is CM Punk being punished or what? My God, he has to wrestle a nearly 50 year old man, who's obviously past his prime in the ring, right? This is terrible. It hasn't even been a good two months since arguably the greatest promo and angle in the past 5-7 years and this is the thanks for it? This is what he came back for? Kevin fucking Nash? Are you kidding me? CM Punk is without a doubt the most over superstar on the roster. And a match with Nash says two things imo...

#1) It speaks volumes on just how depleted the roster really is when the most over guy in your company has to face someone who's damn near 50 and barely a part time wrestler who appeared on an Indy show a few days after he came back to WWE (no offense to all indy wrestlers). Instead of Punk constantly main eventing, he's being cost matches because of Kevin Nash, gimme a break.

#2) This shows how little of respect they have for Punk. If there were Austin or Rock in their prime, this wouldn't be going down. Why not feed their hero Cena to Kevin Nash, hun? Has Cena NOT been in every single main event this year? Wow. And yet once again HE gets the damn title shot. Fucking incredible. I'm so sick of Cena, and whoop-tee-doo that he's put together a few good matches. Those are due to Punk carrying his ass constantly. Great job in killing things WWE.

 

[The_Grimace]

I like Most of the card except cody vs big zeke, its don't to death we've seen cody go over him clean and the few matches its time to move on, henry and orton blah, henry is a beast but come on now, but I'm willing to give it a shot at least we might be surprised. I would have gone cody vs orton title vs title only cause I have not seen a match like that for a while, and there's history between the two. The us title match I honestly don't know who should be there other than Ziggy. And the nashville punk, the promos alone will make that match awesome if it happens.

 

[I_Am_Electro_Boy]

WWE Championship Match
Cena Vs Alberto Del Rio (NOT PUNK)
Announced on Monday not a big surprise.

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Orton Vs Henry
Again announced already.

Intercontinental Championship Match
Rhodes Vs Jackson
I hope it's not, Cody has already beaten him and I want to see Cody move onto someone else, maybe Justin Gabriel, that would be a good match,

United States Championship Match
Ziggler Vs Riley or Morrison
I hope it's Swagger not Riley or Morrison because I want Vickie to turn on Dolph and go with Swagger so Dolph gets rid of her and I also think it would make a nice storyline.

Tag Team Championship Match
Kofi and Bourne Vs TBD
I think it will be Truth and Miz.

Divas Championship Match
Kelly Vs Phoenix
Another obvious one, Beth the heel of the division and Kelly the face of the division.

Grudge Match
Punk Vs Nash
I suppose it had to happen at sometime but so soon? Anyway not going to be the best match although Punk is in it, I'm sure it'll be a okay match even though Nash will be in it because Punk will carry him.

Sorry I put Punk, I did that last week with a different name.

 

[a0161613]

WWE Championship Match
Cena Vs Punk
Announced on Monday not a big surprise.

Grudge Match
Punk Vs Nash
I suppose it had to happen at sometime but so soon? Anyway not going to be the best match although Punk is in it, I'm sure it'll be a okay match even though Nash will be in it because Punk will carry him.

How is this possible?

It's Del Rio vs Cena and it will be a very good match. The tag title match should also be excellant if it features Miz & Truth. Two very good faces against one great heel. Punk should be able to carry Nash but Im not expecting miracles. In fact, it should be a total angle ending in a quick Punk win but a reveal as to the conclusion of the Summerslam angle. The US title match should be excellent too. But the Divas match is going to be pretty shocking

 

[King Patrick Star]

Grudge Match: CM Punk vs. Kevin Nash
My pick – I don’t care. Just advance the storyline.
I would rather see CM Punk in the WWE Title match, making it a Triple Threat match for the WWE Title. I’d rather see Kevin Nash as the Special Guest Referee or Special Guest Ring Enforcer for the WWE Title match. It this spot, I would rather see The Internet Champion, Zach Ryder vs. the Million Dollar Champion, Ted DiBiase in a Title vs. Title Unification match…and then see Daniel Bryan cash in on the winner, and walk out with both unsanctioned Titles. That’s how much I don’t want to see a Punk vs. Nash match.

WWE Divas Championship: Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix
My pick – Beth Phoenix becomes the 4 times WWE Women’s / Divas Champion.
Kelly Kelly needs to just drop the Title already. It’s not that I’m sick of her as Champ. I just…I um…okay, I’m sick of her as Champ.

WWE Tag Team Championship: Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. TBD
My pick – TBD…if TBD stands for The Brothers of Destruction!!
Okay, I like this new team of Kofi and Evan. I like the names Bourne Kings or Air Paradise. However, I love title changes more. Therefore, whoever it maybe, I hope the challengers win.

WWE United States Championship: Dolph Ziggler vs. Alex Riley or John Morrison
My pick – Alex Riley / John Morrison wins their first United States Title.
I’d like to see either of the challengers win the United States Title for the first time, and I’d like to see Dolph Ziggler move on to the next level.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Ezekiel Jackson
My pick – Ezekiel Jackson becomes the 2 time Intercontinental Champion.
I feel Jackson’s run as Intercontinental Champion wasn’t as good as it could be. Maybe the second time around, he’ll get it right. (I'd like to see Henry help Jackson win, what a twist!!)

World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry
My pick – Mark Henry becomes the 2 time WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Mark Henry just destroyed Big Show, Kane, Vladimir Kozlov, and Sheamus. If he can’t beat Randy Orton…(with Jackson's help, what a twist!!)

WWE Championship: Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena
My pick – John Cena becomes the 12 time WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
I would much rather see a Triple Threat match. Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena vs. CM Punk, in which case, I would rather see CM Punk become the 6 time (7 time, if you count ROH, which I do) WWE World Heavyweight Champion. I count the ECW Title as a World Title.

 

[Dagger Dias]

The card looks pretty good if that is what we are going to get, even though there are a few too many rematches for my taste. Here is how I would see the show going, if that really is going to end up being the card:

Cody against Zeke would probably go on first with Rhodes retaining the IC title. Next would probably be the US title. I would expect it to be Swagger rather than Riley although either would be fine. Ziggler would retain to get him a good title defense. Next would be the divas to get them out of the way. Beth better win this time. If that division is to gain back any credibility than Beth or Natalya need to be champion. The filler non-title match would follow that. Punk obviously would win in a one sided match. Can Nash even work a match anymore? His TNA run showed how terrible he has gotten. Next up would be the World Championship. Orton destroys Henry because he will never be a world champion or even main event this PPV. The Tag Team titles go on after that to revive the crowd before Cena/Alberto close the show. Bourne and Kingston will probably retain after facing McTungacutty in a rematch. Finally, Del Rio somehow retains against Cena. I think we will be in for a pretty good show here.

 

[SteelRevenge]

Dave Meltzer has done some digging and, apparently, his sources have given him an indication of what the NOC card is going to look like. We already know that John Cena will take on Alberto Del Rio for the WWE Championship and these others are just speculation at this point in time.

WWE Championship: Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena

World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Ezekiel Jackson

WWE United States Championship: Dolph Ziggler vs. Alex Riley or John Morrison

WWE Tag Team Championship: Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. TBD

WWE Divas Championship: Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix

If this does turn out to be the NOC card, it appears pretty solid on paper.

I can see most of that happening. the only tweaks I would make are if zeke faces cody YET AGAIN it would have to be something along the lines of an ER match to make it interesting and to start cody`s title run off with something barbaric and memorable. Also wouldn`t mind a tag team turmoil or fatal fourway match to add miz&truth and a couple others to breathe life to the tag division.
