With Alberto Del Rio sitting in at the announce table, Captain Charisma took on CM Punk. At a pivotal moment, Del Rio grabbed both the microphone and Christian’s attention, opening the door for The Second City Saint to execute the GTS for the pin.
Afterward, Del Rio put his chair on top of Christian, reiterating that he would not face him at Night of Champions. When Big Show stormed to the ring, Del Rio looked ready to hit The World’s Largest Athlete with the chair. Although this gave Punk time to attack his Night of Champions opponent, Big Show quickly turned the tables, blasting Punk with a knockout punch. Full results.

'Card Subject To Change' Gives Viewers 90 Minutes of Insight
This film takes the viewer behind the scenes of an independent promotion (National Wrestling Superstars) in New Jersey run by longtime promoter Johnny Falco, a man who has been in the business for more than 30 years.
One wrestler that is keyed on throughout the film is the late Trent Acid, a wrestler Falco eerily hopes won’t one day become a statistic as his substance abuse issues are well documented, even by Acid himself.

Changes Made to WWE Wellness Policy
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that WWE has banned the highly controversial drug Carisprodol commonly known as Somas. This change which took place over the weekend has become an office amendment to the company's Wellness Policy and will mean no Superstar or Diva can use the drug even if it has been prescribed by a doctor. It is said to be a very popular drug among the WWE roster and is used to relax muscles.
The drug has been the subject of many embarrassing and often dangerous moments for the industry over the past decade including wrestlers passing out publicly and at the wheel of cars.
Jim Ross Comments on WWE Wellness Policy Amendment:
“I think that it’s a great idea. Too many wrestlers took/take Somas recreactionally much like wrestlers used to smoke weed in the 70′s. Prescription pill abuse is a huge enemy of all wrestlers who abuse them. Pain medicine, Somas, ambien, and xanax are an evil mixture especially when mixed with alcohol and taken in excess.”
