WWE World Heavyweight Championship- Seth Rollins (c) vs John Cena (SummerSlam Rematch)
WWE Intercontinental Championship- Ryback (c) vs Kevin Owens
WWE Tag Team Championship- The New Day (c) vs Primetime Players (Rematch Clause Invoked)
WWE Divas Championship (Triple Threat Match)- Nikki Bella (c) vs Charlotte vs Sasha Banks
Mixed Tag Team Match- Rusev & Summer Rae vs Dolph Ziggler & Lana
Sheamus I think this is the PPV that he finally cashes in his Money in the Bank briefcase with him cashing it in on either Cena or on Rollins but either way I see Sheamus cashing in here at NOC but as for who he faces at this PPV is anyone's guess

I would do this....
Seth Rollins vs. John Cena (WWE Title)
Ryback vs. Wyatt (I-C Title)
New Day vs. Ambrose/Reigns (Tag Titles)
Nikki Bella vs. Becky Lynch (Diva's Title)
US Title Tournament
Ziggler vs. Rusev, Cesaro vs. Owens (Semi-Finals)
all 4 win qualifying matches on Raw after Rollins vacates belt.

This could be very good. There will be one or two rematches but nothing too bad.
WWE WHC: Rollins (c) v Cena. This time they have the match they should have last night. A classic where Rollins walks out the definitive winner.
US title: Cesaro (c) v Owens. A rematch between the two would work especially if the title is added. That gives Owens a reason to fight Cesaro. Indeed, I'd have Cena cost Rollins the belt and having Cesaro win makes sense given the last month or so. He has been close to the US title and feuded with Rollins.
IC title: Ryback (c) v Barrett. I'd quite like Ryback v BNB. I'm sure it would be a good match and get us away from the Show/Miz feud.
Tag titles: New Day (c) v Reigns/Ambrose. My goodness yes. The promos would be magical and the match itself too. There is so much talent and the fans are invested. Plus there is a great contrast. The cool, tough, good looking Reigns and Ambrose v the geeky, silly, over the top New Day. Wyatt can maybe get involved in the build-up.
Divas Title: Maybe an invitational but I'd go with Nikki v Paige v Becky v Charlotte. That would progress the "revolution" and give Nikki a way to retain the title, thus letting her break the record. Thereafter, they can move on but Team PCB should all be rewarded, right?
Ziggler/Lana v Rusev/Summer. Pretty simple and it could be entertaining.
Need to get Orton and Sheamus on the card. Perhaps, Wyatt, Neville, Stardust, PTP as well. I suppose feuding with Orton would continue some of Stardust's momentum. Same applies for PTP with The Wyatt Family.
Cena v Rollins
Reigns and Ambrose v New Day
Cesaro v Owens
Ryback v Barrett
Nikki v Charlotte v Becky v Paige
Ziggler/Lana v Rusev/Summer
Orton v Stardust
Wyatt and Harper v PTP
Have Sheamus heavily tease a cash in. Something like Neville v Miz on the pre-show which is a feud I quite want to see. Looks like a pretty strong card in my opinion but I need Cena/Rollins to deliver.

But then wait a minute if Rollins is both WWE United States Champion and WWE World Heavyweight Champion then wouldn't he have to wrestle twice in one night? Wouldn't he have to defend both titles in separate matches?

I really hope this is the case. It would add another layer to Triple H's ongoing testing of Seth Rollins. I'd put him in two matches;
Vs Cena for the WWE Title
Vs Cesaro Vs Kevin Owens for the US Title
I don't expect WWE will do two matches, though.
Well, NoC is one of my favorite PPVs.
Cena vs Rollins: The rematch has to happen. I'd think they'll be some kind of stip(s). Maybe Cena's last title shot and Flair as the ref.
US title: Apparently it's been removed from WWE.com. I hope that Seth holds on to both belts and defends them both. I would love to see Rollins vs Cesaro vs Owens.
IC title: Ryback vs Barret: I hope that they give him a chance.
Tag titles: New Day vs PTP: standard rematch
Divas: Nikki vs Charlotte: Likely a number 1 contender's match on Raw between Charlotte, Sasha and Brie. Brie takes the fall and Charlotte goes for the title.
Mixed tag: Rusev and Hot Summer vs Dolph and Lana: It<s the next step in the feud.
Stardust vs Neville

I think a few matches are a given, obviously some sort of divas match around the 3 teams.

Doesn't Cena get a rematch for his belt? And all titles must be defended right?
Im surprised no one has brought up that this clearly smashes Rollins into double-duty via the stipulation, and could lead to a possible character change

Yes isn't Cena entitled to his rematch at least for the WWE United States Championship? Because if Rollins is already defending his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Sting then Cena he should not be left off the card so with that said Cena should have his rematch for the WWE United States Championship meaning Rollins he would have to pull double duty
It could happen given how Cena talked about the US title in his promo during the segment with Jon Stewart last night. I can very much see Rollins in double duty at NoC with both titles being defended.

And with both titles being defended it is perfect really for Sheamus to pick his spot and cash in his MITB briefcase
If Rollins does fight twice which is definitely possible, Raw showed a somewhat alliance between KO and Rusev so could see a tag team match happen with the U.S title match bought in. The stipulation for Orton/Sheamus is still up in the air tho along with Big Show & Brock's appearance on the card.

Money for nothin, chicks for free
NOC had some strangeness to it. Some odd decisions to end matches and whatnot.
Ryback vs Kevin Owens - Simply not a good match. The crowd wasn't into it at all and the only saving grace were some impressive feats of strength from Ryback and the fact that Kevin Owens is the new I.C Champ. Mark this as match number 1 for crappy endings. Kevin Owens wins with an eye rake ? WTF. Has an eye rake ever won a match before ?
New Day vs Dudley Boys - New Day's antics practically force you to enjoy the match. Xavier and company are up to so much annoyance and comedy that you can't help but be entertained even though the match was subpar at best. I'll give a quick UH OH to The Dudley's as the fans are already giving them the stale shoulder after the huge pop they got returning a couple of weeks ago. Match 2 for a bad ending as Xavier blatantly caused a DQ to end the match.
Rusev vs Ziggler - This was a decent grudge match that wasn't without a few botches...not that it compares to Cena vs Punk 2011 Money in the Bank botchfest...but there were some glaring ones. Mark it as match 3 for a bad ending with Summer NAILING Rusev with her airborn shoe attack so Ziggler gets the roll up win. Ooof.
Roman's team vs Bray's Team - The fan dressed like Roman Reigns causes some laughter to start the match...who is the surprise third man ??? Why, it's Chris Jericho ! Y2J gets the worst return reaction from the crowd in his career. The match is pretty decent and it ends with Strowman choking out Jericho making the third man thing pointless as hell. Match 4 for bad ending , making Jericho the expendable guy was bad booking.
Charlotte vs Nikki - Decent Diva grudge match with Nikki working on an injured knee of Charlotte throughout the contest. Charlotte cry's a total of five or six times during the match, I guess knowing the conclusion she just couldn't control herself. Then she cry's the duration of the victory with Cry Flair. At least it had a normal ending.
Seth Rollins vs John Cena - No surprise, Cena has the match of the night with Seth Rollins. A good back and forth match with wicked offence by Cena and Rollins. I expected a U.S Title win for the open challenges to come back. The crowds were hugely into this match and at one point, Rollins was pointing around the crowd following a big wave going around the arena...very cool moment.
Seth Rollins vs Sting - Fans took awhile to warm up to Sting and it bothered me during this match. Only near the end with the Scorpion Deathlocks and some random chants here and there did they make any noise. Now this match had a decent ending with Rollins reversing the Scorpion Deathlock into a unique pin...then it went to shit....Sheamus came charging down as expected..yawn... but what's this ??? The crowd is cheering fairly loud for Sheamus for once ! He hits the Special Kick and then Kane's music hits....nobody gives a rats ass. I had to laugh....the worst reaction for Kane ever. Kane chokeslams Rollins and Sheamus then tombstones Rollins while fans fall asleep at ringside. That's the best ending you can come up with WWE ? Mark that down for Bad ending number 5 of the night.
Ryback vs Kevin Owens - Simply not a good match. The crowd wasn't into it at all and the only saving grace were some impressive feats of strength from Ryback and the fact that Kevin Owens is the new I.C Champ. Mark this as match number 1 for crappy endings. Kevin Owens wins with an eye rake ? WTF. Has an eye rake ever won a match before ?

So, this was a better show than I was expecting. While I wish we didn't have any idiotic non-title filler on Night of CHAMPIONS, that's a topic for another thread. Alright. Here we go with my thoughts on Night of Champions 2015.
Kevin Owens VS Ryback (Intercontinental Championship)
The show got off to a good start by getting the Ryback match over with as soon as possible. It was a good match, and we can thank our new Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens for that. I'm surprised the Tag Team Championship match did not open, but this was the next best option.
Dolph Ziggler VS Rusev
This did drag on a little.... and the the bit with the shoe at the end was a bit odd. The sad thing is this is likely still not over. Can Rusev just win this feud so it can end already?
Dudley Boyz VS New Day (Tag Team Championship)
New Day has awesome ring gear here and they were hilarious during the match. One of the best parts of the whole show was Xavier Wood playing the Final Fantasy victory fanfare on the trombone. A really good match and I doubt the feud is over.
Charlotte VS Nikki Bella (Divas Championship)
I had low expectations for this match, as I do with any Nikki Bella match. Charlotte was able to carry her through an ok match, with a perfect finish. So my dislike of Nikki Bella is not exactly a secret around this forum. I have not marked out so much for a win in a really long time, and I'm pretty sure I woke up my neighbors with my reaction to Nikki finally losing the belt she never deserved in the first place. FINALLY we have a Divas Champion who can wrestle again.
Roman Reigns/Dean Ambrose/Chris Jericho VS The Wyatt Family
Did not expect Chris Jericho whatsoever, that was a nice surprise. I was so worried that it was going to be The Big Show. Anyone else would have sufficed. The match was great and I look forward to seeing what happens next. I do not think Jericho will be involved much longer with this angle, but The Wyatts VS Reigns/Ambrose can't be over yet. I want to see more!
John Cena VS Seth Rollins (US Championship)
Not as good as their Summerslam match, but I really liked it. This was the best match of the night to me and the best part is, no John Stewart this time. I liked that they had Seth's matches back to back, which brings us to....
Sting VS Seth Rollins (World Heavyweight Championship)
Not bad at all. The match was good, and the fact that Seth did well in two consecutive title matches says a lot. Then we had Kane returning. I would not be surprised if he is Seth's Hell In A Cell opponent. It would fit with Kane's character plus we had the tension building up between those two for months upon months, it's about time they have their match. Lastly, I was completely convinced Sheamus was leaving with the belt tonight.
Overall Thoughts
A fun night with a great deserved win for Charlotte and a cool two title match gauntlet for Seth Rollins at the end. We have new champions for both midcard belts. I really hope this means Cena brings back his open challenges. The show was a step up from the disappointing Summerslam event last month, Night of Champions is ranked #4 when ranked against the other 2015 PPV events we have had so far.

Not really working as a
The best of the pay-per-view was obviously the booking decisions. The new champions really give that freshness for the weekly episodes that lay ahead before Hell In A Cell, and it's balanced in "probable rematch" and "expecting something new".
I wasn't a big fan of what they did with Kevin Owens vs. Ryback. Mostly because I've read that this two had awesome matches at recent house-shows. They are both this huge brawlers, so the fact that they worked such a psychological match annoys me. I was expecting a lot more lariats and a lot more impact maneuvers, not "focusing on your arm" kind of match. Those two should be fun to watch in a Street Fight environment, but as a straight wrestling match, they were really lame.
I'll say this - Ziggler vs. Rusev was the weakest match on the card by far. They have zero chemistry. 90% of the offense was barely credible. Rusev is not a good seller, while Ziggler went really far with his overselling shtick. Not a good day for those two. Seriously. Bad story, bad matches, bad feud.
From this point on the PPV was great. I love the fact that New Day vs. Dudleyz will probably lead to a Tables or a TLC match. I was surprised how good Nikki Bella vs. Charlotte was, and I don't believe Charlotte carried Nikki. If I have to believe that the Divas can truly be saved, now is the moment. Don't ruin it WWE! As for the six-man match between Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose & Chris Jericho vs. The Wyatt Family, it was okay, could have been better. They did right by Strauman and they protected both Dean and Reigns, while giving The Wyatts a much needed victory, so I'm not going to complain. I hope we can have a heel Jericho vs. Ambrose down the line. If they don't give me that, I'll fucking riot and tear down WWE's buildin in Connecticut. I'm not kidding. Call the FBI!
Seth Rollins vs. John Cena was the match of the night. A fun showing. They have an awesome chemistry and even though we have seen them fight like a dozen of times, they always seem to be able to tell a new story. I hope Open Challenge returns. I am interested to see who is Cena's next challenger come Hell In A Cell. (Please let it be Samoa Joe!). Seth Rollins vs. Sting was a surprise. Mainly because Sting actually moved a lot. The table spot was perfect and his injuries actually helped the story of the match. Rollins was tired, but somehow got lucky and therefore he is still the WWE Champion. However, wrestling Kane next just made me go: "Oh for fucks sake!". I truly hope they get Sheamus involved in this, or else the title will be the opener come Hell In A Cell.
