10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Night Of Champions

10. Mysterio Refuses To Job To Ziggler (2009)

One of the hottest feuds of 2009 was the Intercontinental Title program between Chris Jericho and Rey Mysterio. Together, the two former world champions managed to make the secondary belt feel important and, at one point, Mysterio even put his mask on the line. When the dust was settled, Mysterio won the programme and came away with the championship.

Despite the fact that Mysterio was promised a long reign with the IC Title to keep him happy and prevent him from leaving the company, the month after his feud with Jericho ended, he was asked to drop the title to Dolph Ziggler. As late as the day of Night of Champions 2009, Ziggler was scheduled to win the belt, but Mysterio apparently balked and plans were changed.

Instead of putting over the new star, Mysterio beat Dolph clean at Night of Champions. The feud continued, and Mysterio won again at SummerSlam. He only lost the title just before serving a Wellness Policy suspension and, even then, he dropped it real-life friend John Morrison, not "The Showoff".
