Night of Champions 2011

Not 100% sure if this is the official poster for Night of Champions 2011 but it's cropped up on a number of wrestling news sites. If it is, then perhaps this is a potential spoiler for the World Heavyweight Championship Match at SummerSlam:

Oh and video promo....

So, with Cena the No. 1 Contender for Alberto Del Rio's WWE Title, is Punk now officially out of the WWE Championship picture for the foreseeable future? I hope not.

What are the stakes on us being treated to Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Championship....yay....can't wait! lol.

[CelticWarrior]

Yes,I think it is. It was on WWE website. And I hope Mark Henry takes the stupid WHC title off Orton. I'm so sick of him always having it and the spotlight,he's not a nice person backstage and I think his character is awful. Goodnight.

I don't have much of an interest in the Orton/Henry match, Cena and Del Rio may be interesting, providing they don't have Cena squashing him. And if what's been said on the podcasts is correct, Punk will be dealing with Kevin Nash, who I think sounds terrible on the mic.

I haven't seen this week's episode of Monday Night Raw yet, I will watch it tonight, however, I have just been on WWE.com and seen that Triple H vs. CM Punk has been announced for Night of Champions....?! Surely they've pulled the trigger too soon on this one? I know it's still 7 months away, but imagine the sort of heat they could have got from this if they'd built up towards this match for WrestleMania XXVIII - it could have been an Austin/McMahon "rebel vs. boss" saga for the new generation.

I'll still look forward to the match anyway, but it's a shame they didn't let the rivalry between The Straight Edge Savior and The Game build more before having them compete.

It was originally supposed to be Nash vs. Punk, but according to the Dirtsheets(take it with a grain of salt), Nash didn't pass his physical, so WWE cancelled that, and Triple H was inserted into the match. I doubt we see a one on one match up as Nash will get involved.

I get the feeling the whole situation will lead to it being found out that Nash was brought into this by Stephanie, who's also using Laurinitis as the scapegoat to screw Punk over in the Storyline. Steph's also going to be the culprit behind the Board Of Directors on the Vote of No Confidence on Vince McMahon when things originally started the week after Punk won the Belt at MITB...
