Randy Orton vs Daniel Bryan
Overview: Everyone expected this match to be the best match on the card, and oh boy, it was! The crowd was pumped, and Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan were roaring to go. The match was great, however the result was unpredictable. Triple H had banned any interference in the beginning, and after the referee was down, Orton tried to capitalise, however Daniel Bryan hit him with the Solid Knee Plus for the win. Critics say that the three count was fast here, however Daniel Bryan won the match, much to the chagrin of every single member of the new Corporation. Bryan celebrated in a surreal environment.
Author's Thoughts: This was an exciting match and I simply loved it from start to finish. However, Daniel Bryan winning the WWE Championship was simply odd and it just didn't seem right. Yes, the crowd was happy and so was every single Internet wrestling fan, but Randy Orton should have won somehow. Anyway, I'm sure this is just going to be written off somehow. Either way, the match was pretty good, and I'm loving Daniel Bryan's finisher at present.
Rating: 4/5
Final Thoughts
To be honest with you, this pay per view felt a bit lackluster and I did not enjoy it. As a huge wrestling fan, I thought that this was disappointing, and the show just seemed a bit..off. The MVP of this pay-per-view for me was Curtis Axel, and that speaks a lot, considering the fact that Curtis probably had the least charisma out of anyone wrestling on Sunday. The wrestling quality was fine, however the storyline and the excitement just seemed lacking. Watching Raw has been more entertaining than watching Night of Champions. The recent streak of NoC being a bad pay-per-view continues, as it again ranks up on the charts as one of the most boring events of the year. There were a few polls contested throughout the night to crown the best Intercontinental Champion, the best Tag Team Champion and so on, and I did not agree with any result whatsoever. However, those polls were rigged and that's obvious. Anyway, the high points and the low blows of the show are below.
High Points: Curtis Axel wrestles twice Bryan/Orton Bryan wins title
Low Blows: CM Punk's feud is lackluster Excitement of the Pay Per View Entertainment value of the show
Final Rating: 6/10, B-
