CM Punk added a new title to his rapidly growing resume Monday night on Raw. In addition to former ECW Champion and Mr. Money in the Bank, the Straightedge Superstar’s business card now reads “World Heavyweight Champion.”...More?
This sucks. At least now he can't say he was held back and never given a chance...

SmackDown now a brand of champions
There is a new home for the elite in the WWE. WWE SmackDown is now home to the two top dogs in all of professional wrestling. WWE A Night of Champions started with 2 champions on SmackDown and ended with the WWE world and heavyweight champions on one show.
Did the RAW writing team lose a bet last week? In the last 7 days RAW lost its champion, its belt, and its top announcer. Triple H and Edge each won their respective matches last night at A Night of Champions. For the first time in RAW history tonight, the number one WWE brand will not have 1 world champion on the brand...More?

Edge and Triple H: Who is the best heel?
...On paper I have to say Triple H edges it as best heel. He has always been the yardstick as far as bad guys go. Who’s to say Edge hasn’t studied him and added parts of Triple H’s act in to his own? Triple H has it all in the heels department.
He can talk, wrestle and provoke emotions from both the live crowd and those sitting at home. Edge is good, possibly even great but not as great as Triple H. He excels at every skill, just not quite as well as Triple H...More?

Kaliqo's Night of Champions Picks
Triple H (c) v. John Cena - WWE Championship
After seeing Edge interrupt Triple H on SmackDown and because both belts are now on SmackDown, I think Hunter will lose the title to Cena and begin a program with Edge.
Edge (c) v. Batista - World Heavyweight Championship
I would expect Edge to retain against Batista. This would set up a good program between Batista and John Cena.
Kane (c) v. Big Show v. Mark Henry - ECW Championship
I'm not really interested in ECW. I like Kane, so I'll go with him to retain.
Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes (c) v. Ted Dibiase & ? - World Tag Team Championship
I think Hardcore Holly's only purpose here is to put over the newbies. It would be great if Dibiase's mystery partner turned out to be Cody and they double team Holly for the win.
John Morrison and The Miz (c) vs. Finlay and Hornswoggle - WWE Tag Team Championship
Another match that I'm not interested in.
Matt Hardy (c) vs. Chavo Guerrero - WWE United States Championship
Another match that I'm not interested in, but I like Matt Hardy so I'll go with him.
Mickie James (c) vs. Katie Lea Burchill - WWE Women's Championship
I really like Katie Burchill. A diva that can actually wrestle. A title change would be good for Mickie. The chase would set up some good matches.
Natalya vs. ? - Inaugural WWE Diva's Championship
Jim Ross and Mick Foley said on SmackDown that Natalya will be wrestling for the new Women's Championship at Night of Champions. Vickie Guerrero will be choosing her opponent at the event. Maryse, Victoria or Michelle McCool would make good opponents. I would like to see Victoria with a title.
Chris Jericho (c) vs. ? - WWE Intercontinental Championship
According to f4wonline.com, the WWE plans to have Chris Jericho defend his title, but an opponent is unknown. Reportedly, it was Jeff Hardy, but he has been moved to SmackDown. Since NOC is in Texas, it wouldn't surprise me if Jericho's opponent was Shawn Michaels and if so it would be nice to see Shawn with a title.
