Today on SWGG (Sportzwiki Wrestling Gossip Galore) we will discuss on some of the biggest news and rumours about Night of Champions that is going to take place tonight including who is running the show, which match will open the show and which one would be the one to close it, who is returning after the event, what are future plans of WWE regarding young talents and more.
On our first story, we look at the internal news on who is running Night of Champions tonight. Reports from PW Insider suggest that Vince McMahon did not travel to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for the show. Triple H is running the show and he has full control of the show as well.
Sportzwiki Wrestling Gossip Galore: Who Is Running Night Of Champions, Opening And Closing Matches Revealed For The Show, Big Star To Return After Night Of Champions, And More
Reports of BWE suggest the opening match of the show would be the World Heavyweight Championship match between AJ Styles and Seth Rollins and the closing match of Night of Champions would be the Undisputed Tag Team Championship match where Roman Reigns would be teaming up with Solo Sikoa to challenge Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
This will actually be a terrible decision not to feature the World Heavyweight Championship match at the end of the show. It will clearly prove that Roman Reigns is bigger than the World Heavyweight title, even when he is not defending his Universal title. This will be a clear burial for World Heavyweight title, and that will be on its first night.
Tag Team Championship Match Featuring Roman Reigns Might Feature As The Closing Match Of Night Of Cahmpions
Surely, they are planning some big at the end of the show like Royal Rumble, still, since it was the introduction night of the new World title, it should be on the main event. This might have been the reason why they advertised triple main event, so that they could avoid the criticism of not featuring World Heavyweight title match at the end.
Dave Meltzer reported in his Wrestling Observer Newsletter this week that WWE is currently having a “big internal focus” on pushing younger talents on Smackdown and RAW. WWE failed to put over young talents in a number of years. Hopefully, they make some stars soon.
BWE reported that WWE star Tegan Nox will return to television after Night of Champions. The Welsh professional wrestler received inconsistent booking since returning to WWE and was mostly treated as a jobber so far. But she is pretty talented and we hope her status in WWE improves soon.
