I don't want you to think that I'm being the smart guy, but you see, three of my predictions were true regarding Night of Champions. And of course, they're all about championships.
First will be about the World Tag Team titles. I just knew it: Cody Rhodes is Ted DiBiase's partner against Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly. Wait: did I just say Cody Rhodes is Ted DiBiase's partner? Heck, who am I kidding?
Anyway, that's what happened. Cody betrayed his mentor Bob Holly and cost them their tag team titles, only to win it back with The Million Dollar Son, if you will. So that makes Cody the first person ever in the history of the WWE to lose his title to himself and win it on the same night.
I say this is the best move WWE did for Cody, and I mean it career-wise. With all due respect to Holly, but Cody's reign as co-tag champ with him had been rotting and fast, and we've alsready seen so many teacher-and-student tag teams, but they all didn't last long.
That move in turn turned Cody heel. So what? If not for that "betrayal", we wouldn't be seeing an upstart team of young guns who will sure-fire make it big in the WWE, not to mention that they came from the great bloodlines of "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes and."The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase Sr.
Next will be about the ECW Championship. Kane was drafted to RAW, bringing the extreme gold with him to the red brand, only to lose it a week later to "The World's Strongest Man", Mark Henry. The Big Show, who was the first one to challenge Kane, was left behind.
Just after he won his first ECW crown, I had already foreseen that Kane's career will start winding down on the rebel brand. I think his move back to RAW will serve him well; they just have to repackage him back to be as dominant as the masked behemoth. No, not necessarily with the mask.
It's about time that Mark Henry held gold. It's been nine years since he tasted a championship (that lasted for just a month), and take note: the ECW title is just his second championship working for the company. Whether you love or hate him, it's really about time WWE gave "The Strong One" his due.
What about the Big Show? Well, they have been teasing a rivalry between him and Mark Henry. It's also about time that they pursue it big-time. And wait until we see The Great Khali, Big Daddy V and Umaga in that already big mix soon.
Then there's the World Heavyweight Championship. It's not that I hate Edge as the champ, but I think the reason why SmackDown's not having a lot of home viewers recently is that they're prolonging the "Familia" angle too much. Yeah, they're providing livelihood for the late great Eddie Guerrero's immediate family by bringing Vickie in as SD's General Manager, but at the same time they are tarnishing her reputation as the Hall of Famer's wife. Wait, that's the point: controversy creates $$$$!
Anyway, I can foresee that the "Familia" angle is going to end and soon, now that it's clear to us that the world isn't big enough fot two world champions - and egos - at that. And if I may predict, the person they "banished" from the WWE would likely return with a vengeance. And also, if I may recall, Vengeance was the original name of Night of Champions. I'm just saying.
While that leaves RAW with no major championship title, what could be the fate of WWE's flagship brand? When will RAW's newest member CM Punk cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase? And who will he cash it in against? I do hope it's against Edge, if the Undertaker decides not to return yet (well, the'yre hiding that from us too). And if not, are you up for a title unification, everyone?
The future is for us to behold, and for the so-called "people in the know" to spoil.
