WWE Night of Champions 2011 Review

Match 1: WWE Tag Team Championships - Air Boom © vs. The Miz & R-Truth
Air Boom get the win after Miz shoves the referee which leads to Miz & Truth beating him down afterwards. Good WWE type of tag team match with lots of action to start off the show.
Winners: Air Boom
Rating: ***

Match 2: Intercontinental Championship - Cody Rhodes © vs. Ted DiBiase
Pretty bland match. DiBiase just doesn’t really do anything for me as Rhodes is seemingly the star of the match as he picked up the win.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
Rating: *¼

Match 3: United States Championship - Dolph Ziggler © vs. John Morrison vs. Alex Riley vs. Jack Swagger
Something you would typically see on Raw. Is this what people normally pay money for on PPV? Complete filler of a match.
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
Rating: **

Match 4: World Heavyweight Championship - Randy Orton © vs. Mark Henry
Always liked Henry and so glad to see that he finally won the big one. The match wasn’t anything too special but the psychology and dominance by Henry was all there with the promo afterwards solidifying his spot. A great moment in the show and especially for Henry’s career.
Winner: Mark Henry
Rating: ***

Match 5: Divas Championship - Kelly Kelly © vs. Beth Phoenix
Again, is this what people typically pay for? I never understood why Divas matches are even on PPV. Unfortunately, Kelly picks up the win and retains her title. Moving on.
Winner: Kelly Kelly
Rating: *

Match 6: WWE Championship - Alberto Del Rio © vs. John Cena
Cena picks up the win and another WWE Championship is added to his belt. Really strong match from the two as the chemistry was there and really differed from past Cena matches throughout the course of the year. Crowd was there as well to add another spark.
Winner: John Cena
Rating: ***½

Match 7: No Disqualification - CM Punk vs. Triple H
Don’t even know where to begin. I liked the match but at the same time, I didn’t. They let the mayhem from the interference take over and the action between these two just seemingly got forgotten. Even still, the match was fun to watch as Triple H lands a second Pedigree upon Punk to get the win.
Winner: Triple H
Rating: ***½

Overall Show Thoughts and Rating:
A poor PPV performance from WWE. The three main matches were good and it stops there. Everything else was either bland or lacking something. Hopefully, Hell in a Cell will be much better.
Rating: 6/10
