Name Me King: The “Night of Champions” Recap and Review | Ep. 35
Night of Champions set the stage for explosive title chases and personal vendettas with two new crown holders being coronated.
Cody Rhodes and Jade Cargill reigned supreme in the King and Queen of the Ring finals. Jade’s victory skyrockets her into the top of the women’s main event scene, while Cody’s reassertion in the title hunt may have cost him a friend. “The American Nightmare” delivered a fantastic match against fellow finalist and former mentor Randy Orton, filled with high spots and near falls. However, it was clear during the contest that “The Viper” was hearing those voices in his head again, hinting at a possible return to his more ways. The ROWP crew weighs in on whether a full heel turn is in Randy’s future and what Cody’s and Cargil’s victories means for Summer Slam now that two number-one contenders are in place.
A looming question now is whether John Cena can hold onto his championship long enough to make it to Summer Slam to defend it in a WrestleMania 41 rematch against Rhodes. Seth Rollins and his faction of Bron Breakker Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman continue to circle, waiting for the perfect moment to cash in the Money in the Bank contract. One thing is certain: after Rollins’ failed attempt cost CM Punk a victory in his title bout against Cena, the self-proclaimed “Best in the World” will be seeking swift and severe retribution.
Jacob Fatu is also out for revenge. Solo Sikoa called on the goons and they helped him pin him in the center of the ring to win the United States Championship. With J.C. Mateo at his side, plus Tonga Loa’s return and Tala Tonga’s making his long awaited debut to back up Solo, “The Samoan Werewolf” will have his hands full as he looks to reclaim his coveted strap and reestablish his dominance on SmackDown.
