WWE NoC 2010 - Kane (c) vs The Undertaker - World Heavyweight Championship Match

[Mitch Henessey]

From WWE.com:

A shroud of darkness descends upon Night of Champions as World Heavyweight Champion Kane collides with The Undertaker in an epic battle of brotherhood for the World Title and the right to be called the most dominant force of the underworld.

At SummerSlam, The Phenom reemerged from a ringside casket, making it clear to the WWE Universe that his tortured brother was the Superstar who attacked him and left him in a vegetative state on Memorial Day weekend. But, as The Undertaker looked poised to take his vengeance, The Big Red Monster struck again, executing an earth-shattering tombstone on the returning Deadman.

The next week on SmackDown, Kane revealed his master plan to bring about the demise of The Demon of Death Valley. After recognizing that The Undertaker’s pride had been weakening him for years, the horrific Superstar decided to take actions that would forever take him out of his legendary older brother’s shadow and establish himself as “the Devil’s favorite demon.”

The Undertaker returned to SmackDown the following week, proclaiming that Kane had a powerful weakness as well – envy. He claimed that no matter how many lies Kane’s sick jealously allowed him to believe, he was undeserving of carrying “his holy grail.”

The Phenom promised that when the two ominous Superstars meet, the result will always be the same. But, Kane has insisted that their monumental clash at Night of Champions will end the same way that SummerSlam did, with The Undertaker’s head being tombstoned into the canvas. The horrific Superstar pledged to end The Deadman’s very existence once and for all.

Here we go again. It's kane VS The Undertaker 2010. Things are different this time around, because Kane has been riding a big push for quite some time, and he's the World Heavyweight Champion. I fully expect Kane to retain here. Undertaker will still be "weak" from the attack, and I just think it would too soon for The Deadman to become WHC. I think Undertaker will become champion at the Hell In A Cell PPV or Survivor Series.

As far as this feud goes, I've become kind of interested in it over the past couple of weeks. I really have enjoyed Kane's promos, and Taker being weak makes this feud feel different. At first, I was strongly against seeing these two feud again, because Taker VS Kane has almost been done more than Orton VS Triple H, but everything just feels different this time around.

Will Kane still be World heavyweight Champion after Night Of Champions?

 

[Porter1989]

i think he loses the title at survivor series more likely maybe an inferno match if PG allows it, kane burns his face, he then returns the masked monster he once was.

 

[AAPTSLTS]

I don't see Kane losing just yet. I fully expect him to retain at NOC either by DQ or run in. This will setup a HIAC match at HIAC which taker will probably win. From there the feud will either end or continue to Survivor Series

 

[MOExecution]

Kane will have to retain here...
And no I don't mean by an DQ or Countout or anything like that. I believe Kane should beat The Undertaker CLEAN! That way all this hype he is building up doesn't seem to be just Kane running off at the mouth and actually backs it up by beating The Undertaker 1..2..3.

But sadly Kane won't beat The Undertaker clean. The match will end in a DQ, Countout or possibly... A knockout where we see Kane beat The Undertaker so bad that the match has to be stopped. That would really put Kane over as the stronger brother and would really send a message to The Undertaker and the whole SmackDown roster that he is unstoppable.

I personally like the KO win myself and if I am honest is it me or in one of their matches do you see it being like a really weird sort of super hero like power match? I don't know, but that is what I picture in my head right now. This feud will go to Hell in a Cell (where I think it should end), but if it goes to Survivor Series... I believe it should be a Buried Alive Match for the World HeavyWeight Championship.

All in all I was sketchy at first about this match, but there is something different about this feud... I don't know what it is, but I like it. It's probably just interesting to see Kane as the most dominate and Undertaker being hopeless... I don't know, but whatever it is I like it. The match should be interesting as well as the feuds in the future.

 

[Agent-67]

Agreed. I don't like Kane, but if he does not win here...you might as well git rid of the guy.

 

[Stephen11]

Kane will obviously retain at NoC to build the storyline and will face the Undertaker in other PPV's with interesting stipulations. I have no doubt that Kane will retain.

 

[The Best At What I Do]

No reason for Taker to win here. Kane has already taken his powers and been getting the upper hand lately. This storyline will continue for a while. For some stupid reason, HIAC is only 2 weeks after NOC so there isn't even time for a buildup. Hopefully Kane retains cleanly since Undertaker is weakened and Kane could use a clean win over him.

The Best's Best Possible Outcome
Kane retains cleanly against his brother and the rematch (for whatever reason) takes place a few days later inside a Cell full of Hell!

 

[osborne79]

anything can happen in the wwe, what if kane dominates a good match, then goes for the pin but lets go and he lets taker pin him and win thus forcing the undertaker into kanes rematch clause at hell in a cell so kane has a right and oppourtunity to finally be better than his brother and end his career in the match kane debuted against him in, but the taker wins again and kane challenges kane to an infernmo match at survivor series where if he loses he vows to never be seen in the wwe again, and take wins this, then over the next few weeks woming up to armageddon taker has a new numebr one contender lets say jack swagger, during their title match kane comes out with a casket and gets taker in it and takes him ouut back where he burries him alive , next week on smackdown kane wins the title of jack swagger and continues to brag about being the devilss favourite son and how he has his shadow casted over takers grave from burying him, this leads to shawn michaels coming back at royal rumble to take kane out as he is angrey he couldnt do it to taker at wrestlemania, kane wins and shawn and him continue this feud into elimnation chamber kane wins again, after the chamber match as kane make the ring on fire the undertaker appears on top of the cell, he takes part of the top off and jumps though and attack kane setting up their match at wrestlemania with shawn michaels the referee

 

[osborne79]

and by the way i dont see kane winning its too predictable and whenever you are really sure it will happen the wwe will change it to keep yopu interested

 

[martymcfly]

The title will not change hands because the build up behind this match, similar to the kane/mysterio match at summerslam, has nothing to do with the title. Kane and the Undertaker have a story going on here and it seems that Undertaker winning the title is not important to the story. In fact, undertaker winning the title here would probably end the story as there's not much else to go, and there's too much juice yet to be squeezed out of this storyline for it to end so soon.

 

[bloewaters]

Kane with the obvious win here. It's elementary. If WWE creative is Dumb enough to give the Undertaker the win here it would completely nullify the huge build they have on Kane right now, thus sending him back to mid-card hell, and leaving kane with the annual "kane is a threat in the rumble story and jack shit for wrestlemania. This is the only thing to do. I see Kane holding on to this belt until AFTER HIAC dropping it sometime around Survivor series. it would be cool tho to see if wwe is creative enough to keep this going longer then that, but I am doubtful.

I would love to see Kane beat the Undertaker down, maybe let him bleed a bit, (though i doubt the can get away with it) and I'm not talking a Ric Flair or Vince blade job, just some blood to sell the beating, and have the match stopped. They could even make taker "collapse" or disappear with a gong and some smoke to make him not lose if they wanted to...

but what do you see coming after this feud? because what does Kane or Undertaker have left? the smackdown Roster isn't exatly crawling with feuds for either of these guys...

 

[Ferbian]

Definitely looks to turn into a decent match. I fully expect that even if Undertaker has basically just returned, that both of these guys will deliver one hell of a match. Perhaps even match of the night (by the looks of the card now, it could very well be).

I want to see Kane retain here. Not because of the fact that I don't want to see him loose the momentum he's running with, but mostly because Undertaker seriously doesn't need the championship. Hell he doesn't even need to challenge for the championship. I can only hope that this feud either ends off with something like Undertaker actually loosing to Kane who finally retains his championship and gets a new contender, or that Kane looses the belt to someone else and then fights Undertaker again.

This feud has been brewing a bit for a while, and I think it could definitely carry on. But it requires that Kane walks out as champion. Not through any cheating tactics, unless it means that he still pins Undertaker.

Here's for Kane tombstoning Undertaker for the victory.

 

[Oppurtunist]

I'd like to see Kane retaining, make Undertaker loose nr.1 contender match to CM Punk/Christian, And then make him cost Kane the match, and the two will fight @ Bragging Rights and Survivor Series. No sense for giving taker the title.

 

[JUSBRINGIT]

i see his going to survivor series really apart from rey, kane and undertaker are the only main eventers on SD! in my opinion. at NoC Kane is the favorite to win. i also think this is takers first apperence at noc? anyway undertaker has been coughing during promos which still means hes weak so he may get a little injury during the match and work it off. it will continue into HiaC with Taker winning the title. (the PPV was made for him anyway!) then we go bragging rights i dunno who out of kane and taker could win that. then they can end it with a casket match at survivor series and kane get put inside and then he can take some time off.

 

[That young knockout kid]

Kane will obviously go over The Deadman at noc .They will however continue the fued .....my guess is up untill the Hell In A cell ppv ,where Kane will drop the belt to Taker.Than Taker will start a leangthy fued with Punk ,resulting in Taker dropping the belt in a couple of months time .This is when things will be restored to normal ,who wants to see Kane /Taker fued in 2010 ,espically at a main event level.

 

[I_Am_Electro_Boy]

I can see Kane retaining, it would make the most sense. They don't need Taker to win the title because the story doesn't need it, anyway it wouldn't really make sense to have Taker win the title because Kane has supposely taken Taker's powers and has been getting the upper hand over Taker for the past few weeks so if Taker all of a sudden beats Kane it would be a little stupid.

 

[Ducey13]

I know alot of this has already been said but here's my two cents

By all account Kane should retain the title at NOC. Its a no Brainer booking wise, but it was also a no Brainer to let Nexus win and SummerSlam and WWE Creative botch that!

In Good Old Predictable WWE, we would see Kane retain his Title at NOC, losing by DQ or Countout (SO technically he STILL will have never beat his brother), and then get pinned by Undertaker at HIAC, thus Taker becoming the New Champ. ( I really don't see this feud going past HIAC, HIAC is where feuds are supposed to go to die)

Let me tell you what should happen....Kane should cleanly beat his brother for the first time ever. I know all the Undertaker die-hards are screaming at me right now but listen. We've seen this feud so many times already and Taker always always wins. KAne should have beat him a long time ago and should have been a TRU World Champion a long long time ago(1day with the WWE Title was pathetic)

So my take....let Kane get himself DQed at NOC but then get the real pin at HIAC, leave the belt on Kane till say Elimination Chamber

Either way.....If Kane never does beat the Underkaer cleanly...at least he got a World Heavyweight Title run out of this whole thing

 

[shooter_mcgavin]

Well I know this feud has been done to death but I really want to see it for the reason that, I believe, Kane has never defeated The Undertaker on PPV. It's strange really, with all the rivalries they had Kane probably only has 2 victories over Undertaker and that was all free TV.

I think Kane will win in NOC and get his first PPV victory over Undertaker. That would be sweet.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I see Kane retaining one way or another. The WWE are selling the vegetative state like there's no tomorrow and I see them extending Kane's run with the belt. I don't expect a classic out of these two. Far from it, I expect a pretty poor match based on power moves. Undertaker can work with big men, but Kane doesn't seem to be one of them (WrestleMania XX seems to show that). Kane retaining makes sense booking wise & I really don't see Taker winning this without it being a DQ. With Hell in a Cell looming ever closer, it seems to make sense that Taker would get his ultimate revenge inside his trademark match.

I say Kane wins with Taker taking his revenge inside the Cell on October 3rd.

 

[gd]

Meh, not too excited about this one. Sure, it'll be decent, but it's nothing that's especially interesting to draw you into this one.

I'm guessing Kane will have to keep the title here, as this isn't ending anytime soon. I don't think this whole storyline is as bad as people are saying, but it's still pretty weak. Hopefully Kane drops the title soon enough though, it was interesting at first, but it just needs to end soon.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I think this has the potential to be a great match. If nothing else, this match will have the potential to tell an interesting story. It makes all the logical sense in the world for Kane to retain the title here and that's really what should happen. Not only should he retain it, but he should retain it decisively. No tount outs, no DQ, just a straight up pin in the center of the ring.

If I were booking the match I'd have things go back and forth for about 10 minutes with both guys giving as good as they get. Maybe even a suicide dive from Taker to add a little extra oomph and maybe make it seem as though he's all healthy and 100% again. Maybe around the 12 minute mark, Taker starts coughing but coughing really hard and continuously. He's exerted himself in a physical match and the after effects of his condition are catching up to him. At the 15 minute mark, he tries to go for a chokeslam but has another coughing fit and maybe have his hands start shaking, Kane takes the advantage, hits the chokeslam followed up by the Tombstone for the win. After the match, I think the refs would need to come out to help Taker back to the back. Hell, maybe even have Matt Striker get up from behing the commentator table to help out, and have Taker continue to cough, his hands shake and maybe just fall to his knees a few times on the way back. Personally, just picturing The Undertaker being "sickly and weak" brings up some strong emotions for me. Just my opinion.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

On last night's Smackdown, Taker said in his promo that he wanted the match to be no holds barred and that's the perfect environment for Taker to lose cleanly to Kane. Taking on Kane in a no rules type of match works very well with the story aspects of Taker's "weakness" and coming back before he was physically ready to. The Undertaker has always been a character with a lot of pride and the match could be played up as a means of Taker trying to prove something to himself more than anything all while his shortcomings after coming out of the vegetative state are simultaneously played up.

 

[Dan E. Inferno]

This match has really got my attention. I'm not expecting it to be a great match or anything, but it should be interesting. I've mostly enjoyed the promo's between the two of them since Summerslam, and it looks like there is a legitimate chance of Kane going over the Undertaker. The way I see it is that Kane needs this victory.

He has apparantly been planning this for years, put the deadman in a vegetative state and is now claiming to be the stronger of the two brothers. A loss would make all of that pretty much worthless, and it would make Kane look weak. If he can't beat Taker in this condition, he's never going to beat him. So, I'm going to predict that Kane doesn't just win here, but that he destroys the Undertaker. It won't exactly be Benoit-Angle entertaining, but it should be good in it's own little way.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

I think the edition of the No Holds Barred stipulation makes this match even more interesting then it was before. I think this match has the potential to be pretty good and tell a good story in the ring. The stipulation is a great way to make Undertaker lose cleanly to Kane and to continue to make Taker look "weak". Kane gets the win here over his older brother but this feud will definitely continue after this match.

 

[LamaNamaneumi]

I think these two have had some great matches in the past, and I expect nothing less from them this time. Kane has stepped his game up over the last few months and has drawn me into this story, when I thought it was going to be stale. I think the promos he has been giving leading up to this match have been some of his best work to date. I'm looking for him to get the win here and continue reeking havoc on SMACKDOWN!.

At Summer Slam, when I expected Undertaker to show up like the dominant force that that I have known him to be, he shows up weak, coughing, and getting one upped by his little brother. Then when Nexus took him out, it showed that Undertaker is still not back to the dead man of days past.
That added a whole new page to the Undertaker, Kane story. Now Taker has lost his powers and it seems Kane has found them, I am interested in seeing where this is going to end.
I would like to see Kane get the win here, then he can drop the belt when SMACKDOWN! makes the move to SyFy or the next PPV.
