The Cruiserweight Championship was only ever defended once at Night of Champions, at the inaugural event in 2007. Chavo Guerrero was the champion, defending his title against Jimmy Wang Yang in a fairly tepid match. 

Chavo seemed pretty distracted and far off during the match, which could have been put down to laziness at the time but it was clear why fairly soon after.

This event took place the weekend of the Chris Benoit murder-suicide, and Chavo was the man Benoit contacted at that time. Chavo's performance is admirable in this case, and the match itself was a fine little bout.
