Match #1: The Cosmic Wasteland vs. Neville and The Lucha Dragons
WWE Night of Champions kicked off with an explosive match that pitted The Cosmic Wasteland against Neville and The Lucha Dragons.
It was quite an entertaining affair as the high-flying trio took the skies and launched an all-out aerial assault to Stardust and the Ascension.
However, it was Cosmic Wasteland that went away with the victory after Stardust hit his Queen's Crossbow on Neville.
Match #2: Ryback vs. Kevin Owens for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
For the first title match of the night, Ryback defended his WWE Intercontinental belt versus Kevin Owens.
The challenger worked on the champ's shoulder early on in the match. The two exchanged impressive counters and clubbing blows to inflict pain.
In the end, the injury cost The Big Guy his title after Kevin Owens rolled up for the pin while holding the bad shoulder.
Match #3: Rusev vs. Dolph Ziggler
Before the start of the match, Rusev saw Summer Rae wearing the earrings his opponent bought her, while Dolph Ziggler made his way to the ring sporting tights that have Lana's face on it.
The Bulgarian Brute easily manhandled Ziggler both in and out of the ring.
But, with his speed, dexterity, and a little help from the high heels of a disgruntled Summer Rae, Dolph Ziggler came out victorious.
Match #4: The New Day vs. The Dudley Boyz for the WWE Tag Team Championship
Once again, The New Day entertained the crowd with another hilarious "Save the Table" petition, before squaring off with The Dudley Boyz.
Both teams displayed technical prowess with chain wrestling and classic double team moves.
With the Dudleys landing their patented 3D, Xavier Woods dropped the trombone act to break the count and retain the tag titles via disqualification.
An irate Dudley Boyz then drilled Woods through a table after the match.
Match #5: Nikki Bella vs. Charlotte for the WWE Divas Championship
Team Bella and Team PCB accompanied Nikki and Charlotte respectively before the bell rang.
The challenger took control in the early goings of the match, before the champ responded by focusing on her opponent's left knee.
Charlotte came back and hits a vicious spear on Nikki, which was followed by a Figure-8 lock for the win.
Match #6: Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Chris Jericho vs. The Wyatt Family
Lo and behold, Ambrose and Reigns third man is Chris Jericho.
The Wyatts worked on Roman Reigns early on, with the usual raucous derby amongst all competitors.
Eventually, the Black Sheep known as Braun Strowman imposed his will on Chris Jericho securing a hanging arm triangle choke to notch a win for The Wyatt Family.
Jericho bumped Ambrose's shoulder as he walked out of the ring.
Match #7: Seth Rollins vs. John Cena for the WWE United States Championship
Seth Rollins' first out of two matches is for his WWE US title against John Cena.
It was an awe-inspiring performance from both individuals, highlighted by Rollins taking a page out of Finn Balor's and Eddie Guerrero's book.
Ultimately, Cena regained his United States Championship with a leg drop from the ropes and an AA.
Match #8: Seth Rollins vs. Sting for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
A battered Seth Rollins had no time to recover following an AA from Cena on the floor, as the champ now prepares for a WWE Championship match versus Sting.
The Vigilante immediately went in for the kill with a couple of his signature moves, as well as a cross body from the top rope to the floor.
After a predominantly one-sided affair in the favor of Sting, the champ surprised everyone with a quick roll up to retain the title.
Before the night was done, Sheamus ran down the ramp with his Money in the Bank briefcase. As he was about to cash in, in comes Kane complete with his mask.
The Devil's Favorite Demon chokeslammed Rollins and Sheamus, then capped the night off with a Tombstone on the champ.
