1. Ziggler beat Kofi clean with the Zig-Zag after ducking Trouble in Paradise.
2. Big Show beat CM Punk with a punch.
3. Daniel Bryan beat Miz with the LeBell Lock.
4. Michelle beat Melina.
5. Kane beat Undertaker clean with a tombstone reversal.
6. Cody Rhodes & Drew McIntyre won the tag titles in a turmoil. a) the Usos beat the Harts b) Usos beat Santino & Kozlov c) Mark Henry & Evan Bourne beat the Usos d) Rhodes & McIntyre beat Henry & Bourne
7. Randy Orton won the six-way. a) Orton eliminated Jericho with an RKO in the opening minute b) Cena eliminated Edge with the FU c) Barrett eliminated Cena with the Wasteland (Nexus distraction but mostly clean) d) Orton eliminated Barrett with an RKO after Cena ran Nexus off with chairshots e) Orton pinned Sheamus after slipping out of the Razor's Edge and hitting an RKO
Two good matches (main event and Miz match) but not much of a show. The U.S. title match was really good and the highlight of the show. Bryan was tremendous and there were some awesome nearfalls. I was happily surprised -- not that Bryan has been portrayed badly since he came back but I didn't think WWE would put him over Miz without Miz beating him first.
Six-way was unusual for a WWE match in that they gave all the finishes to their top two guys instead of spreading them around so that everyone gets to win once. Match was a good showcase for Orton and (kind of, sort of) heats up Cena vs. Nexus to go back to it. And I guess Sheamus will spitefully beat up Orton to set up HIAC. I'd rather see Cena/Nexus in Half-Ass Wargames but who knows, maybe we'll have three Cell matches again.
Cue the angst over Jericho getting berried. I think he'll walk off TV for a few weeks selling his crisis of faith since he's doing Fozzy shows but I don't think he's leaving.
Making the tag title match was pointless except for all the wrestlers who got PPV payoffs. The two-on-two match on Smackdown was a lot better and the Harts going out first made the whole thing pointless. Tyson Kidd did do an amazing one-jump top rope Asai moonsault to the floor. Names for the new champs: - DashIntyre - Mc'N'Rhodes - I Dream Smoke & Dreams
Kofi kind of looks like a loser getting beat clean in the decisive match he's been asking for.
I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and guess that Chris Jericho didn't re-sign with WWE.
For as bland a face as I find Orton, they HAD to strike while the iron was hot with him. Lord knows how long the fans will go this bonkers for him, so might as well give him another run with the title.
The Kane/UT feud is right on schedule. It's the old UT feud template. UT loses opener clean, UT loses second gimmick match clean (in this case, Hell in a Cell), UT goes on vacation for a few months, UT comes back stronger than ever and destroys the world in the blowoff match. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I'm thrilled that Rhodes/McIntyre won the belts tonight. It means "Dashing" Cody Rhodes can now take his act to Raw, too.
May we never see a Dolph Ziggler/Kofi Kingston or a Big Show/CM Punk match ever again. Time for these four guys to move on.
I'm thought for sure that Miz losing in such clean fashion tonight would mean he was cashing in at the end of the show. I almost wonder if he'll hang onto the case all the way to Wrestlemania?

You're forgetting the initial part: UT come in with special effects, pyro, lightening, and whatever else to initiate the feud.
Never thought I'd ever say this, but I'm tired of the Undertaker and the predictability of it all.
Have yet to see this show, but found this tidbit: they have it up on PWInsider.com (pwinsider.com) that this was Chris Jericho's final scheduled appearance with WWE for the time being. To be honest, I didn't expect any kind of farewell, and there wasn't any from what I have read.
I didn't get to watch it but I think this marks the first Night Of Champions where more than one title changed hands. I could be mistaken though.
Second note, I couldn't agree more with this.

Finally, I probably need to try & catch this since I was recovering from a long out of town weekend. It seems like it was actually decent compared to some of the WWE outings with PPV's.
I didn't get to watch NOC last night but from the sounds of it, perhaps it was a good thing.
Some of the results I am surprised and or disappointed with though...
I thought CM Punk should have won this one and perhaps only this one because I thought it would add some more credibility back with CM Punk after Big Show has been dominating this feud; but maybe the WWE really wants to end the SES and if that is the case, I would love to see CM Punk back just back in singles competition.
I thought Orton winning was a surprise and against a normal rule-of-thumb (person who has the most momentum going in usually never wins the title).
The Miz lost which good for both superstars; Bryan gets his credibility back and can start winning while Miz can concentrate on his MITB and championship oppportunity.
The Hart Dynasty was and is getting dull as tag champs and the duo of McIntyre and Rhodes seems like it can work for awhile.
The WWE did do something right at the PPV and that was keep the belt on Kane and continue the feud for a little while long.
Overall, I am hoping that the feuds between Punk and Show are over and I am hoping ever so desperately that the feud between Kofi and Ziggler is over now (how do you expect to keep these guys relevant if they have been in the same feud for at least a couple months, if not even longer?).
Sorry to see Jericho leave though but maybe if all the belts are to be unified, he can become the only person to be unified champion twice.
The commentators made a point of mentioning that Jericho had reneged on his promise to quit the company if he didn't win the WWE title, so I don't think Jericho's departure is as final as everyone else says. If this was his last appearance, then they would have stuck to that angle, wouldn't they? He might do a bit of touring with Fozzy, but I don't think this is the last of Jericho by any means.
T'was a good show and I'm glad I watched it. Miz and Bryan stole the show and the main event was well done.
Dialogue from our pay per view party:
"How come John Morrison and R-Truth aren't in this Tag Team Turmoil?" "Well, you see, they've got much smaller plans for John Morrison."
"If Jericho's really gone, they didn't even blow off his feud with Morrison." "That's because they've got much smaller plans for John Morrison."
According to wwe.com, Michelle McCool is now recognized as the Unified Divas Champion. The Women's Title and Divas Title lineages have been merged, but Layla is the last recognized Women's Champion. The lineage, until the Women's Title is reactivated as a solo title, goes from Fabulous Moolah to Layla. But now I presume LayCool each gets to carry a belt until they create a unified Divas belt, or they might just retire the Women's belt for now and let McCool wear just the pink butterfly.
I would also like to point out the Divas were the shittiest lumberjacks/lumberjills ever. The storyline was that all the Divas were angry at McCool so they went after her but not Melina, but they still didn't do their jobs as lumberjills and force the Divas competing back in the ring when they fell out. The lumberjills seemed confused as to what they were doing, who was supposed to be angry at whom according to who's a face or heel. Rosa Mendes even through the shittiest looking punch ever at Jillian, who no sold it and said something to her right on camera. Finally, if all the lumberjills were pro-Melina winning, well, then they're idiots because it was their incompetence at ringside that caused Layla and McCool to doubleteam Melina in the ring to score the title for McCool.
Lesson: The Divas are dummies and the babyface Divas are even dummier.

And thus the brief experiment of Alex Riley and Titus O'Neil: WWE Road Agents, came to a close.
I wish the rating system would let me rate Dr. U at 1,000,000.
I actually went to the show last night, my first WWE PPV show since Wrestlemania 13. Not a whole lot to add except to say that the depth of hatred for Cena in the crowd was kind of staggering. I saw grown men taunting children wearing Cena gear afterwards. Also, Orton is just insanely over right now. At least 1/2 the crowd was still there after 10-15 minutes of him celebrating. And lastly the WWE has pushed the idea of Orton/Cena being this generation's Hogan/Andre or Rock/Austin so much that people are starting to truly buy into it apparently, as every time those two faced off alone you could feel the buzz in the crowd expand like crazy.
Oh and Allstate Arena is the worst place on earth. That is all.

He's the #1 guy in this business right now.

It's right on the Austin/Rock course of top face vs. top heel to top face vs. top face megamatch, to original face turning heel on the new face. But Austin and Rock had a two year delay from their first feud to their babyface dream match thanks to Austin's injury, whereas we just got five Cena/Orton matches on PPV last year.

Didn't see anything about this. Can someone provide some context?
I was more disappointed Orton won with 5 minutes to go which seemed to setup the Mizterference but no, we got 5 mins of "Go Go Randy!" >.<
Yes, the lumberjills were diabolically bad, did they once do their jobs or did they just stand around like rejected mannequins before starting a shoving match?

Shhhhhhhhhhhocking - witty smark banter at your PPV party. I can't stand you fucking people who read a couple of sites and pretend you are acquainted with the ins and outs of the business. All of you bitch put of one side of your mouth while Vince's cock slides in and out of the other. You make me vomit and I would like to invite you to lay down in traffic.

"Profanity is the inevitable linguistic crutch of the inarticulate".
Although it did get you an instant rating of 10, so objective met!
Missed the show except most of the main event. I think they ended the show early because they WANTED to tease the Miz cashing in, and it would also explain why several people stayed after the match.
Only two weeks until the next PPV? I'm interested in how fast they can do some build-up, although Barret vs Cena in HITC makes sense as Nexus can't interfere then.
After a (very) long hiatus, I have begun to write again. And this time, I'm not alone!

Don't know if this as talked about yet but or preshow dark match was John Morrison vs Ted Dibiase. very good match with Morrison Winning with Star Ship Pain.
Live this show wasn't bad. The Diva match was confusing because it seemed like no one knew what they were meant to do.
CM Puck called us the scum of the earth but was stilled cheered like he was in a tittle match.
The main problem was in the audience every one knows the kids love Cena, it doesn't matter if you like it. But it is wrong to yell and tell a 10 year old girl that she is stupid and other volger things just because you don't like Cena. The three people behind us spent the whole 2 hours and 45 min show just bitching about every thing.
Dont say its not worth it, when you can sleep with no fear, that kind of time is worth any thing.- FFX
