WWE Night Of Champions Preview #WWENOC

By @B_Rock1978

Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, brought to you by Triple Threat CLE, brings you this year's WWE Night of Champions preview. Night of Champions takes place this year at the Tokyo Center in Houston, Texas. Tonight's event is being highlighted as the night that Seth Rollins can prove that he is "The Future". Seth Rollins will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against the "Icon" Sting and he will also defend the WWE United States Championship against John Cena. If you miss tonight's show, no worries, I will have your WWE Night of Champions recap Monday afternoon @TripleThreatCLE.

- "WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match": Seth Rollins (c) vs. Sting: After retaining the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and winning the WWE United States Championship at Summer Slam, Seth Rollins, considered himself the true face of the WWE. Rollins demanded a statue be built for him, due to his greatness. Instead of a statue, Rollins got the WCW Icon Sting, waiting, who attacked Rollins and demanded a World Title shot. Sting returned not only for a shot at the world title, but Sting also returned to shut down The Authority and make Rollins' life a living hell. Can the former NWA/WCW/TNA World Heavyweight Champion Sting defeat Rollins and make history by becoming the only World Champion of four different organizations? Can Seth Rollins, who has to pull double duty tonight, still be 100% after his WWE United States Championship match, be able to defeat the Icon?

- "WWE United States Championship Match": Seth Rollins (c) vs. John Cena: Last month at Summer Slam, Seth Rollins, pulled off what many say was an upset. Rollins with the help of former Daily Show host, Jon Stewart, defeated John Cena and left New York not only still WWE World Heavyweight Champion, but also the new WWE United States Champion. Rollins who has his hands full at Night Of Champions against Sting, must also defend the WWE United States Championship against John Cena, thanks to Stephanie McMahon. McMahon agreed with Cena and stated that every title has to be defended at Night Of Champions, then officially announced the United States Championship Match without Rollins having a say in it. Can Rollins survive the first of the two most biggest matches in his career, stay healthy, retain the U.S. Title and make it to Sting later in the night? Can John Cena avenge his controversial loss to Rollins last month and get back the WWE United States Championship?

- "WWE Divas Championship Match": Nikki Bella (c) vs. Charlotte: The Divas Revolution continues. Last month at Summer Slam, Team PCB came out victorious in the triple threat six diva tag match. It's all about Nikki, however, according to her, as she has surpassed A.J. Lee's record of longest reigning WWE Divas Champion. The second generation, Flair, Charlotte, looks to finally put an end to Nikki's reign. Charlotte defeated her team mates Becky Lynch and Paige in a Beat The Clock Challenge to earn the right to face Nikki, tonight. Can the former NXT Women's Champion Charlotte, add more gold to her accomplishments and win the WWE Divas Championship? Will Nikki Bella come out victorious and continue her longest reigning WWE Divas Champion streak? Stephanie McMahon also made the special stipulation this past RAW that Nikki can lose the title by pinfall, submission, countout or DQ.

- "WWE World Tag Team Championship Match": The New Day (c) vs. The Dudley Boys: The New Day shocked many and won a fatal four way match at last month's Summer Slam and won the tag team titles. What The New Day wasn't expecting and shocked everyone was the return of the greatest tag team in wrestling history, The Dudley Boys. Bubba Ray and Devon have returned and have automatically placed the tag team division on notice that they're coming for the tag titles. The New Day defeated the Prime Time Players to retain the tag titles on last week's RAW and determine who would defend against the Dudleys tonight. Can The New Day go into Dudleyville and come out still the champs? Can the Dudleys defeat The New Day and win their record 24th World Tag Team Championship?

- "WWE Intercontinental Championship Match": Ryback (c) vs. Kevin Owens: Ryback successfully defended his WWE Intercontinental Championship at Summer Slam against Big Show and The Miz and now has Kevin Owens gunning for him. Kevin Owens stated that Ryback was a joke of an Intercontinental Champion and even attacked Ryback during a lumberjack match while Ryback fought Seth Rollins. Owens stated that if given the opportunity he would take the Intercontinental Championship away from Ryback. Ryback granted Owens' wish and got The Authority to sign the match for Night Of Champions. Can Ryback finally shut up Owens? Will Owens take away the Intercontinental Championship like he stated he would?

- "Six Man Tag Match": Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and ???? vs. The Wyatt Family: Last month at Summer Slam, Reigns and Ambrose defeated Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper in tag team action. The next night on RAW, The Wyatt Family became three again, as they introduced the monster, Braun Strowman. Strowman tossed around and choked out Reigns and Ambrose with ease, putting Bray Wyatt back on track in his mission to end Roman Reigns' career. Reigns and Ambrose challenged The Wyatt Family again, this time at Night Of Champions, in a Six Man Tag Match and promised to have a third partner ready to whoop ass. 

- Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev: Last month at Summer Slam, Ziggler and Rusev went one on one and it ended with a double count out. Rusev and Summer Rae continue to make life a living hell for Ziggler and Lana. Summer Rae even went as far as accusing Ziggler of trying to proposition her on an episode of RAW, a few weeks back, trying to drive a wedge between Ziggler and Lana. Lana, who is currently suffering from a broken wrist, appears to have apologized to Ziggler, for believing and accusing Ziggler of being with Summer Rae. Ziggler goes into Night of Champions looking for revenge for himself and for Lana. Rusev and Summer Rae look to finally crush Ziggler and Lana once and for all.

- "Six Man Tag Team Match": Neville and The Lucha Dragons vs. Stardust and The Ascension: Stardust is still having his issues with Neville, after losing to Neville and Stephen Amell at Summer Slam. Stardust has recruited former NXT World Tag Team Champions, The Ascension, in the feud. The trio tried to attack Neville, however, Neville answered back by getting another former NXT World Tag Team Champions, The Lucha Dragons, to back him up. All six men brawled on last week's RAW, which set up tonight's Night Of Champions Pre-Show match. Will Neville continue to upstage Stardust? Will the new faction known as Cosmic Wasteland take out Neville and The Dragons?

Wrestling Lockup with Brandon 9/16/15: The Future vs. The Icon #WWENOC

The Future vs. The Icon
By @B_Rock1978
             
WWE rolls into the Tokyo Center in Houston, Texas, this Sunday night September 20th, for WWE Night of Champions. One match that has been on everyone's mind is the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match and how will it play out for future matches. Seth Rollins, who earlier in this event will be defending his WWE United States Championship against John Cena, pulls double duty and will meet the "Icon" Sting for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event.
Some fans feel that Sting being thrown into this match is either a way to push Seth Rollins more as a hated champion, by giving him a win over the Icon, or an out to get the title off of Rollins and onto Sheamus. 
**** The Scenario ****

Let's start with Seth Rollins, shall we. There are a few possibilities on what this does for Seth Rollins.

#1. Seth Rollins could possibly beat both John Cena to retain the WWE United States Championship and Sting to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in one night. This would solidify Rollins' claims as being the future of the WWE and possibly make his title run a little bit more worthy. This would also give Rollins huge bragging rights, as he could state that he beat both Cena and Sting in one night. The last time something big like this happened was when Chris Jericho defeated The Rock and Steve Austin, in the same evening, and became the WWE Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion. Jericho capitalized off of this feat and still talks about it to this day, so this could be HUGE for Rollins as well.

#2. Seth Rollins could drop the WWE United States Championship back to John Cena, but still defeat Sting and retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. This is a definite possibility, because what exactly is Rollins going to do with the WWE United States Championship at the moment? And there is actually a funny rumor going around on Twitter, that WWE has an overstock on John Cena United States Champion shirts that they need to get rid of.

#3. Seth Rollins could end up losing both the WWE United States Championship and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and leave with nothing. Honestly if this happened, I really don't think it would hurt Seth Rollins' status within the company. Win or lose, what other WWE Superstar could say that they went toe-to-toe with Sting and John Cena in the same night?

#4. Triple H. There is also the possibility of Triple H somehow getting involved and costing Seth Rollins the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. WWE have been hinting at a future Triple H vs. Seth Rollins match for sometime now. A Triple H turn on Seth Rollins would explain all of the Triple H name droppings that have been going on during Rollins' feud with Sting.

#5. Triple H and Sheamus. We all know Sheamus is going to eventually become the new face in The Authority. What better time than now, then to have Triple H have Sheamus cash in Money In The Bank, defeat Seth Rollins and Brogue Kick Seth Rollins to the curb. Which again, will open up to the Triple H vs. Seth Rollins feud.
What if the man, the myth, the legend, "The Icon" Sting, walks out of Night of Champions the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion?

#1. Rumors have stated that Sting, for being 56 years old, is actually still in great physical condition. If the Stinger can still go a couple months, why not give it a shot. It's not like Sting needs to be the set-up man for Wrestlemania. My thoughts are to give Sting a two month run, have Undertaker cost Sting the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, by laying the Stinger out and then Sheamus cashes in Money In The Bank. This opens up Sheamus as the main guy to get you into Wrestlemania and then it also opens up the rumored Undertaker vs. Sting match at Wrestlemania.

#2. Sheamus. Sheamus may also not wait at all and just cash in right after the Rollins vs Sting match. Sheamus has been hinting at doing it all month. Sting could defeat Rollins, get a quick two minute celebration and BOOM in comes Sheamus with the Brogue Kick. This opens up Sheamus as the new face of The Authority, kicks Rollins out and Sting moves on. The one downside to this is, many fans think it will be another WWE slap in the face to Sting, by only giving him a two minute world title reign.

#3. Sting takes the defeat. Many fans feel that Sting has already solidified his wrestling career and there is no need to even give him the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The only thing that bothers me about this, is Sting jobbing again. This would make Sting 0-2 in WWE and a possible match with Undertaker at Wrestlemania, which there is no way Taker loses. Is Vince McMahon that bitter with WCW that he would make their biggest draw winless in his WWE part time run? Wait we're talking about Vince McMahon, so the answer is YES.

#4. WWE Hall of Fame Bound. Granted the Stinger is already set to be inducted this year. I honestly would really like to see Sting at least have one victory in the WWE, before he's inducted. Defeating Rollins would be that perfect win to have going into the Hall of Fame. If Sting can defeat Seth Rollins and win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Sting would become the only NWA, WCW, TNA and WWE World Heavyweight Champion ever in history. That to me is pretty damn impressive and I would love to see that on Sting's resume come Hall of Fame induction time.

So there you have it, some of the scenarios that could go down at Night of Champions this Sunday on WWE Network. I'll be tuning in myself as I'm sure all of the many wrestling fans around the world will be too. I will be that Stinger fan hoping for a Sting WWE World Heavyweight Championship victory, even if it's only for a few minutes.
