John Cena & Triple H def. WWE Champion Randy Orton & The Legacy (PHOTOS | WATCH) For all the disdain he exhibits toward his Night of Champions opponents, Triple H and John Cena, WWE Champion Randy Orton knows enough not to take these two men lightly. As he teamed up with his Legacy cohorts Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase against the pair, Orton knew this match would be pivotal. After all, whoever wins would be sure to enjoy a tremendous amount of momentum heading into Night of Champions. The only problem being that The Game and Cena were both well aware of the ramifications as well.
After a bumpy ride as well as some high contention with The Game it was Cena who finally scored a quick pin on The Viper, securing not only the win but also a great boost toward Night of Champions in just six days.
Alicia Fox & Rosa Mendes def. Kelly Kelly & Gail Kim in a Legs Match; Shaquille ONeal to guest host next week (PHOTOS | WATCH) Theyve got legs. And they certainly know how to use them. Compliments of Gibbons and Hill, leggy Divas Alicia Fox & Rosa Mendes took on Kelly Kelly & Gail Kim in a ZZ Top Legs Match. When the air had finally cleared, long, tall Fox carried the day for her team by managing a pin against Kelly Kelly.
Moments earlier, Jerry The King Lawler and Michael Cole announced that next weeks celebrity guest host will be none other than NBA powerhouse Shaquille ONeal!
Hornswoggle def. Chavo Guerrero in a Sharp Dressed Man Tuxedo Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) The humiliation continues for Chavo Guerrero. For the third time in a row, the proud Mexican Warrior lost to Hornswoggle, this time in a Sharp Dressed Man Match to borrow a name from one of ZZ Tops most beloved hits. After dropping bouts to Hornswoggle while fighting on his knees and also with one hand tied behind his back, tonight appeared to be pay back time for Guerrero. But it wasnt meant to be as the wily and persistent leprechaun went 3-0 against Chavo by ripping off Guerrero's tuxedo for the win.
Mark Henry def. Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho by disqualification (PHOTOS) Chris Jericho has a decision to make. Who will the Unified Tag Team Champion choose as his teammate heading into Night of Champions now that Edge has suffered a debilitating injury? One thing is certain: Its not looking good for Mark Henry. The Worlds Strongest Man seemed bent on punishing Jericho until the arrogant Superstar attacked him with a metal folding chair, getting himself disqualified. Afterward, Henry not-so-subtly roughed up the Unified Tag Team Champion.
Divas Champion Maryse sprayed Mickie James in eyes with mystery substance (PHOTOS | WATCH) As Mickie James spoke with WWE announcer Josh Mathews about her chances of capturing the Divas Championship against Maryse at Night of Champions, The Miz showed up in an apparent attempt at trying to impress the conceited French Canadian. After hearing enough of Mizs putdowns, Mickie turned to leave, only to be confronted by Maryse, who doused her eyes with a mystery substance.
Jerry The King Lawler def. The Brian Kendrick (PHOTOS) The Brian Kendrick was hoping to secure a spot alongside Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho this Sunday at Night of Champions when reveals his new partner. Sadly for Kendrick, his mouth may have cost him his chance. After berating Jerry The King Lawler before his match, the WWE Hall of Famer introduced himself as Kendricks opponent. Lawler then showed the crowd just why hes been inducted into WWEs hallowed halls by defeating the cocky Superstar.
Six Pack Challenge announced for Night of Champions for U.S. Title; U.S. Champion Kofi Kingston, MVP & Primo def. Big Show, Jack Swagger & Carlito (PHOTOS | WATCH) The hunt for the United States Championship just took a large, disturbing turn. Before a Six-Man Tag Team Match kicked off, it was announced that United States Champion Kofi Kingston will defend his title this Sunday in a Six Pack Challenge at Night of Champions, which will see the Jamaican Superstar battle MVP, Big Show, Jack Swagger, The Miz and Carlito. Once the six-man bout got underway, the team of Kingston, MVP & Primo proved too much for Big Show, Swagger & Carlito when Primo pinned his Backstabbing brother. Perhaps to show his frustration or maybe his dominance The Worlds Largest Athlete then began to decimate everything in his path, including his own teammates.
WWE Champion Randy Orton will join The Legacy against John Cena & Triple H in main event (PHOTOS) Cena informed the packed house at the RBC Center that when he battles Orton and The Game in a Triple Threat Match at Night of Champions in six days he plans on stepping from the ring with the WWE Title securely in his grasp. As might be expected, the current champion took exception.
The Viper was only too glad to administer a history lesson. He reminded Cena that it was he who retained the title when the three clashed previously in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania XXIV before his Legacy henchmen Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase surrounded the ring. Before they could act, however, The Game joined the party. He told Orton that he's unconcerned who wins the title at Night of Champions as long as it's not The Viper.
After digesting his opponents' criticism, Orton was not satisfied to simply antagonize The Game and Cena; he also asked that they include him in the main event match alongside Rhodes & DiBiase. The Game and Cena readily agreed, and so the main event would offer a preview of sorts of the Triple Threat WWE Title Match at Night of Champions.
Jeff Jarrett did not attend last night's Victory Road pay-per-view, nor will be attending this week's slate of television tapings. TNA front office employees were told during a company meeting late last week that he is taking some "personal time off."
Jarrett was previously scheduled to at least be involved in some pre-taped backstage segments at last night's show. He was also going to continue building a program with Eric Young at this week's Impact tapings.
As a result of his absence, the creative team and several producers ran things backstage last night at Victory Road.
It's interesting to note that Jarrett's sudden absence coincidentally occurs after an incident on Bubba the Love Sponge's radio show last week where an "anonymous TNA employee" had their voice distorted and claimed on-air that Jarrett was now involved in a relationship with the ex-wife of Kurt Angle, Karen. The person claimed the two were living together at Jarrett's residence.
A rumored relationship between Jarrett and Karen Angle has been bouncing around for several months, so the caller was simply repeating the oft-cited rumor. However, giving the timing of Jarrett deciding to take some personal time off, it does seem rather peculiar.
TNA's public relations official Steve Godfrey declined to comment on the situation this morning when contacted. He said he could not "comment on personnel issues at this time."
Jarrett's sudden absence was a large topic of discussion among wrestlers and employees at last night's pay-per-view. This may have been the first pay-per-view in the company's seven-year history which he was not running and/or backstage.
There is said to be no timetable on when he will return to his duties.

Nash hit a desperation chokeslam and scored the win to get the gold!

In case you have noticed, Mike Knox has not appeared on television since the May 29th, 2009 episode of Friday Night Smackdown, which saw him to lose to The Great Khali and R-Truth in a tag match after Dolph Ziggler walked out on him. His status in WWE remains unclear, but some reports have circulated online saying he is in the doghouse and perhaps even in line to be let go.
-- WWE Diva Eve Torres seems to be dealing with a small neck problem. She noted on her Twitter that she is getting her stretched out at a local non-surgical spine care center in Southern California.
Internally, it is believed that Tony Atlas is on his way out of WWE. Many feel he was solely brought back a year ago as a favor because he was dealing with some financial issues. There is hope that the WWE Hall of Famer saved the money he made during his latest run, not to mention use the television exposure he received over the past year to generate more bookings on the independent circuit.
Former TNA Knockout/wrestler Roxxi will be debuting in Ring of Honor under her old name (Nikki Roxx) at the August 14 TV tapings for HDNet in Philadelphia, PA.
A man claiming to work for TNA called into the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show Wednesday morning to say that Karen Angle and her children were presently living with Jeff Jarrett. The man noted that TNA president Dixie Carter was irate and threatening to fire Jarrett or buy his company stake out as a result of the situation. Bubba tried to call Kurt Angle to confirm this person's story, but he did not answer his phone.
For what it's worth, Kurt said during his memorable appearance on The Howard Stern Show back in March that Karen had an affair with a fellow TNA wrestler. Kurt claimed she'd stay out all night and later tell him she was hanging out with friends in the hotel lobby. Kurt said he cheated on her "a couple of times" while they were separated, but felt she slept around to get back at him. Kurt said he didn't want to reveal the name and seemed to be real awkward about the situation.
Karen filed for divorce from Kurt last September, which was later finalized on October 26, 2008.

Later, in the culmination of a spectacular tag team main event, Jeff Hardy threw Jericho in The Straightedge Champions direction as he was sitting at the broadcast table. Punk then tossed Jericho into Hardy, knocking his Night of Champions challenger into the unforgiving steel steps disqualifying he and Rey Mysterio in the process. After the match, the smiling United Tag Team Champion hooked in the Walls of Jericho to the war-torn Charismatic No. 1 Contender while Punk looked on indifferently from outside the ring.
John Morrison def. World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk (Non-title) (VIDEO | PHOTOS) For the second time in three weeks, The Friday Night Delight used a quick counter to score a second non-title victory over World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk.

Former WCW star Vampiro broke his back after jumping 15 feet from his bedroom window in Mexico following after a home invasion.
The Lucha Libre legend was sleeping in his Guadalajara home when several kidnappers broke in to his property. What's bizarre is police were nearby and confronted the gang while Vampiro was still asleep. He only jumped from the window when the police burst through his door.
He suffered four broken vertebrae in his middle and lower back and re-injured two herniated discs in his neck.

The reason why theres no prognosis on Edge is because theyre waiting for him to go back in for examination after a couple weeks. After he starts rehab, about 10 days later theyll see how hes responding and will have a better idea of when hell be able to return. Achilles tendon injuries are very serious and it could take up to a year for Edge to get back close to where he was before the tendon tore.
Abyss claims he has turned down several WWE offers Posted by Randy Gordon on 07/16/2009 at 07:01 PM
TNA wrestler Abyss says he has turned down three separate offers from the folks at WWE out of loyalty for the company that put him on international TV. Abyss, real name Chris Parks, says that WWEs interest level in signing him to a deal was high.
"I've had opportunities to go there," Abyss said on the U.K. Sun's WrestleCast show. "There was high interest from WWE, but I just haven't had any interest in going. I'm one of the originals, I've been with TNA since the one year anniversary of the company, and very few people in this business can say they've been there from the beginning."
- TNA Knockout Christy Hemme, who has been away from the company for some time due to injury, wrote the following recently on her official MySpace page: A little birdie told me that a certain firey redhead is coming back to kick some ASS! I will give you one guess as to who that might be Christy
