WWE Night Of Champions Predictions: Who Will Walk Out The Best?

Unfortunately I missed last month's Summerslam so here I am back with my WWE Night of Champions preview.

No small talk this time, now let's get to the predictions.

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

The Hart Dynasty(c) vs. Drew McIntyre & "Dashing" Cody Rhodes

Finally, a Smackdown tag team is getting a shot at the tag titles. Seriously, who was the last Smackdown tag team who held or fought for the titles. Don't know? It was Chris Jericho & Edge back in June 2009.

As for my thoughts on this match, it will probably be the curtain jerker for this pay-per-view. Following WWE's booking policy, since McIntyre & Rhodes won on Smackdown, I see David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd keeping the belts here.

MY PICK: The Hart Dynasty

Big Show vs. CM Punk

When will this feud end? I know Punk's from Chicago and all, but couldn't they have started a new feud. I say that Big Show will get most of the offense in of this match but Punk will find a way to steal the victory, much to the crowd's delight.

MY PICK: CM Punk

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Dolph Ziggler(c) vs. Kofi Kingston

In another feud that won't just seem to die, these two are facing off for what is the umpteenth time in recent weeks. This time, if Ziggler gets counted out or disqualified he will lose the title. That means one thing: Ziggler is finally going to get some credibility, and boy does he need. He's stuck in a meaningless program with Vickie Guerrerro and desperately needs to have a good to great match because if he disappoints here, he is destined to be lost in the shuffle for years to come.

MY PICK: Dolph Ziggler

UNIFICATION LUMBERJILL MATCH FOR THE WOMEN'S & DIVA'S CHAMPIONSHIPS

Melina(wc) vs. Michelle McCool(dc)

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, where do I start with this one. While WWE has finally realized that they don't have enough female talent to warrant two titles. And what do you do when you don't have enough talent? You put two of them in the ring and fill the outside with the others. I see Melina coming out on top of this one with the set up of Layla being mad at Michelle for "cheating" in the name drawing on Smackdown. This will probably lead to a triple threat match between the three next month at Hell In A Cell.

MY PICK: Melina

UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

The Miz(c) vs. Daniel Bryan

My pick for match of the night. If these two work to their full potential, and Bryan always does, there is no reason why this match can't be a match of the year candidate. This is the hottest feud going into the pay-per-view. A lot of people are saying that it's a lock that Bryan is going to win. I don't see it that way. This feud still feels fresh and it should go on for at least another month. Miz should win either with a screwjob finish or, in which I feel is a better option, have Bryan get disqualified and have The Miz go on for weeks about how Daniel Bryan tried to kill him. Then Bryan would earn another shot at Hell In A Cell and take the belt there.

MY PICK: The Miz

NO HOLDS BARRED MATCH FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

Kane(c) vs. The Undertaker

No examination needed here. Kane wins and Taker wins the belt next month.

MY PICK: Kane

SIX PACK ELIMINATION CHALLENGE FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP

Sheamus(c) vs. Wade Barrett vs. Chris Jericho vs. Edge vs. Randy Orton vs. John Cena

Making this match elimination match was a good decision because a six-man, one-fall match is a mess waiting to happen. In my opinion the winner of this match is going to come down between three people: Sheamus, Orton, and Barrett. Sheamus needs a clean win to finally validate his championship reign. Orton doesn't need the belt but he's the hot babyface at the moment so it wouldn't surprise me to see him walk out with the title, and Barrett needs the title to give the Nexus a much needed ooomph after a couple weeks of being an afterthought.

MY PICK: Sheamus

Well, there you have it, my predictions for Night of Champions. Agree? Disagree? Do you think I've gone insane? Then leave a comment.
