WWE to Have a Non Title Match at Night of Champions

WWE recently added a match to night of champions where there will be no title holder involved whatsoever. As of last week, CM Punk vs Big Show has been added to the card.

This match may make some people angry, as it does not feature a title in a PPV where all the matches are supposed to be title matches. However, that is not exactly what NOC is all about.

Night of Champions will still feature every title being defended, but WWE never said it couldn't have more matches than it takes to defend each title.

The feud between Show and Punk has been gaining steam for a couple of months now and having them wait another month to settle it at another PPV might make the feud go stale and become unappealing.

CM Punk has proved that he can be a fan favorite, as well as a crazy cult leader-like villain. He has gained more of my personal respect as the leader of SES than he ever did during any of his three world title reigns.

Punk is one of those guys who trained hard in the indy circuit and made his way to the WWE. He was not trained by the WWE and he was not recruited due to his physique or his celebrity status, he was recruited because he is a great wrestler.

Punk had even faced some of WWE's top guys before joining the company. I am reminded of a match he had with Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero that was amazing. Youtube it if you haven't seen it.

Big Show is going into this match with the height and weight advantage of course. And he has dispensed with every member of the SES before. Now the two will come face to face for a one on one encounter.

I am going to predict that Punk will come out victorious for two reasons.

1. His stable is falling a part and a victory would make him look strong again.

2. Having a guy three times Punk's size beat him up is not entertaining, having a heel underdog pull out the victory would be entertaining.

Since his return to the WWE a couple years ago, Big Show's talent has been wasted in my opinion. How the most dominant force in WWE is never in line for a title shot is beyond me. He could add something to WWE as champion that they haven't had in awhile, a champion who is almost impossible to beat.

I hope after the Punk/Show match is over CM Punk gets put into a feud with someone who can keep up with him in the ring and I hope Big Show goes after whoever holds the World Title when the night is over.

Let's hope that Night of Champions delivers in a way that the last couple of PPV events have failed to do.

Who do you guys see winning the Big Show vs Punk feud?
