Night of Champions 2012 Review

Night of Champions 2012 Review : Kane's Going to Disneyland !



The Miz vs Rey Mysterio vs Cody Rhodes vs Sin Cara
Very fun and unpredictable match for the IC Title here . The crowd was very pro- Rhodes and Miz . Seeing Cara and Mysterio going one on one at points in the match was fun and hopefully they'll have a singles match in the future . The Miz retains with a skull crushing finale to Rhodes . ***



Kofi Kingston & R-Truth vs Daniel Bryan & Kane
Tag titles on the line . This match was a hell of a lot of fun to watch . Bryan and Kane are fantastic together . I felt bad for Kofi and Truth being booed by the crowd because Kane & Bryan were so much more entertaining . Kane accidentally falls on top of Kofi to get the pinfall and the titles . ***



Zack Ryder vs Antonio Cesaro
Ryder won the pre-show battle royal to earn this US championship match . I was really rooting for Ryder here because I felt like he never got his chance with the title last year . Cesaro's offense was brutal and I'm surprised Ryder wasn't knocked out with that uppercut . Cesaro retains with his finisher . **3/4



Randy Orton vs Dolph Ziggler
I think everyone was expecting these guys to have a good match and they almost stole the show . Only a couple of rest holds held the match back a little , but it was still a great match . Orton picks up the win with a unique-looking RKO . ****



Layla vs Eve
Kaitlyn was supposed to be wrestling but was attacked from behind backstage and Eve took her place . This was an above average divas match and Eve wins the title with a swinging neckbreaker . *3/4


The backstage segment between Daniel Bryan and Kane was classic . Kane pouring Gatorade over Bryan and shouting that he's going to disneyland made me laugh non-stop .


Sheamus vs Alberto Del Rio
I am getting sick of this feud , but the matches have been good . I would put this as the best of their matches so far , and I even thought that Del Rio would make Sheamus tap out the second time he put on his cross armbreaker . Nice match for the world title as Sheamus retains with a brogue kick . ***1/4



John Cena vs CM Punk
To say this match for the WWE Championship had a big match feel would be an understatement after their classic matches from last year . The crowd was split way down the middle . A great back and forth match with amazing near falls . I really thought it was over after the rock bottom . After a german suplex from the top rope , it looks as if Cena has one the title , but both shoulders were down at the same time and it is declared a draw . Match of the night and MOTYC . ****1/2



8/10 . A great show tonight , with only two matches falling under three stars , and they weren't very long anyway . Orton/Ziggler and the main event are definitely worth your time .
