2013 has been a year of great matches, stories that have mesmerized the audience, and new stars stepping onto the big stage to elevate the illustrious show known only as the WWE. Alberto Del Rio retained his World Heavyweight Championship in arguably one of the strongest singles matches he's had since being part of the company, while Randy Orton ended the night by practically stealing the WWE Championship from Daniel Bryan (During the events of the previous Summerslam PPV).
Every title will be on the line at the Night Of Champions event (Perhaps featuring a non-title match or two), meaning all champions will more than likely have to face daunting challenges come September 15th.
Literally anything could happen! From The Shield looking to fend off a pair of massive foes -- to a grudge match for the WWE Championship (Based upon my assumptions): Here you will find updates for Night Of Champions 2013.
(Added from WWEv's original Night Of Champion's thread. Will be updated soon.)
WWE presents Night of Champions live on PPV on Sunday, September 15 at 8 PM ET. This event will be broadcast live from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan.
WWE Championship:Randy Orton vs Daniel BryanÂ
Randy Orton arguably stole the WWE Title from Daniel Bryan when he cashed in his Money In The Bank contract moments after Bryan finally won 'the big one' during Summerslam. Moments before Orton cashed in his briefcase, Daniel Bryan was given a Pedigree by WWE COO Triple H. Since then, Triple H has gone out of his way to ensure that Daniel Bryan won't be 100% for this match. We'll soon see if Bryan rises to the occasion, perhaps by finally getting his vengeance and plundering the title away from Orton. Will he fail or will he succeed? Tune in to Night Of champions to find out.
Handicap Elimination:CM Punk vs Curtis Axel and Paul HeymanÂ
This match starts off as a 2-on-1 battle where each member of Heyman's team must tag in to become the legal participant. If a member of that team loses a fall then it becomes a one-on-one match. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this is a Title match.
CM Punk used to be a Paul Heyman guy but their relationship went sour a few months ago. Since then, Punk's former manager has cost him the Money in the Bank match, a match against Brock Lesnar, and humiliated Punk in a 2-on-1 attack which set up this encounter.Â
World Heavyweight Championship:Alberto Del Rio vs Rob Van DamÂ
During a non-title match in early-August, RVD beat the champion after Ricardo Rodriguez's interference backfired. Due to what transpired, Alberto attacked his personal ring announcer which lead to Rodriguez becoming RVD's personal ring announcer instead. A few weeks later, RVD beat the champion in another non-title match to earn this title shot. This time, Ricardo Rodriguez purposely cost Del Rio the match. Ricardo has been in the corner of RVD ever since.
Divas Championship:AJ Lee vs Natalya vs Brie Bella vs NaomiÂ
The first Diva to score a pin fall or force her opponent to submit will walk out of this match as the champion.
During a recent edition of RAW, AJ insulted all the stars of Total Divas. The following week, a triple-threat match was held to determine which star of the show would get this title shot. The match was declared a no contest because of AJ's interference. Later that night, Stephanie McMahon decided that all three combatants would get this title shot.
