The WWE's upcoming PPV, Night of Champions which airs this Sunday, looks to be great in my eyes.
Not only do you have the whole world wondering who Chris Jericho's tag partner is, but you also are set to see every single title in the WWE defended.
That means both women's title, all the World Titles, the US and IC Title, and of course the unified tag title.
It is a PPV that many wait all year to see. While some say that the WWE only has 5 PPVs people consider the best of the year in Summerslam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, No Way Out, and Wrestlemania. We have to realize that the WWE has a gem here in Night of Champions.
It may be considered a gimmick PPV, but who cares? I love it, and we will definitely see titles change.
I feel it is a given that Maryse will lose her Diva's Title. Only because she is the longest reigning champion in the WWE right now. Mickie James needs to be recognized, and she needs the title if you ask me. Maryse had her shot, its time to give it up.
The Women's Title is one of those that could be passed. However, because Maryse could possibly lose, there is no way the WWE would have both women's titles change hands. So, I see McCool retaining Sunday.
Dolph Ziggler is one of the hottest heels in the WWE today. The WWE, especially Vince McMahon are high on him. This is why he is getting a huge push. I feel that even though Rey Mysterio just won the Intercontinental Title, Ziggler will take it from him.
I feel he needs it to really get on a roll, even more so than he already has.
The World Titles are a toss up to me. I feel that Orton could easily lose to either Triple H or John Cena. But it seems the WWE wants to really keep him as WWE Champion for a while, at least until the Fall. So, I feel he will retain.
The World Heavyweight Championship is a tough one, but you have to go with CM Punk to retain here. I mean, Jeff Hardy's WWE contract expires shortly after the NOCs PPV. Because of this, the WWE won't give him the title. I hate to say it ladies and gents, but Hardy won't win this Sunday.
Christian vs Tommy Dreamer is another tough one. But to me, you have to go with Christian. True, he has had his shot with the title before. However, Christian is a better fit as ECW Champion rather than Dreamer. Dreamer is up in age, and he doesn't need to be the #1 guy on the brand. Christian can be, plus, Christian is already being misused by being on ECW in the first place. So, to reward him for being on the WWE's C Show without complaining, you have to give him the title back.
Also, the WWE never planned to have Dreamer hold the title long anyway.
The US Title is one that could go one of two ways. Either Kofi Kingston somehow retains or Big Show wins the title, plain and simple.
Keep in mind, Big Show has not held a title in the WWE since being on the ECW Brand 4 years ago. He hasn't even held a tag title. Keep in mind also that Big Show took a leave of absence from the WWE to pursue a boxing career that didn't pan out.
He has not held a title in the WWE since his return well over a year ago. So, I feel he is due for a win, and he could walk out the new United States Champion. So I pick him. But, if he is not the winner or Kofi does not retain, I'll be shocked.
The Tag Title mess seems to be catching everyone off guard a bit. I feel that the WWE is making such a big deal out of the new tag partner for Jericho that there is no way he and his new tag partner will not walk out still Unified Tag Champion. Sorry Legacy!

Why we should all look toward ECW for our next big name star
If you're not watching ECW, I ask you to make sure you start. This is the place we are seeing the next John Cena, Triple H, and Jeff Hardy.
Let's list off some of the wrestlers who have come from ECW.
CM Punk, Jack Swagger, Evan Bourne, and Kofi Kingston.
There are even more that I didn't get to, I know. However, these 4 men seem to be the most successful.
CM Punk won the ECW Title on ECW before going to RAW where he cashed in Money in the Bank on Edge and won his first World Title in the World Heavyweight Championship. He then won MITB again this past year and cashed it in on Jeff Hardy, shame on him. However, he is a 2 time World Champion, 1 time tag team and IC Champion. He is the fastest triple crown winner in WWE history.
Jack Swagger won the ECW Title in his first few months on the show, so you know he has proven himself. He was just drafted to RAW, so there is no telling what else he is capable of in the future.
Kofi Kingston is a big time player too. He is a former Tag Team and IC Champion. He is the current US Champion too. He is beating people who are bigger and/or stronger than him and will be a staple in the future of the WWE. One of the best young talents the WWE has ever had is Kingston.
Then we have Evan "Air" Bourne. You don't get that nickname from riding planes guys and gals. You get it from being one of the best highflyers in the WWE. He even went toe to toe with the best high-flyer in the business, Rey Mysterio. I personally love this guy. He could be the next Mysterio.
While Bourne has never won a title in the WWE, he can really give us great matches. Now that he has moved to RAW, I can see him getting in the US Title hunt quickly and possibly win it before to long.
In ECW's time, it has resurrected WWE careers too. People such as Mark Henry, John Morrison, The Miz, Shelton Benjamin, and of course Christian.
All of these men by the way have been champions once or after they went to ECW too.
Quite frankly, without ECW some of these men would be gone from the WWE. But because they went to ECW, they are now big time performers in the WWE.
See, ECW is not only a place for new superstars, but it is a place for those who need to show that they are for real and are misused on other shows.
While we still see the people like that come in, you have to think seeing new superstars come into the WWE is also something cool to see too.
People such as the newly formed Hart Dynasty- Tyson Kidd, DH Smith, and Natalya are big time players in the WWE too. What is freaky is that all three went to the Hart Dungeon. If you are not familiar with the place, it is the same place that taught Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Dynamite Kidd, and British Bulldog. So all three learned from the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
They will be tag champs before to long, and I see Natalya winning the Women's Title before to long. All three were recently drafted to SmackDown, so it could happen.
The new superstars will keep coming in. We need to realize that out future stars are coming from ECW. So if your not watching, you need to start soon.
Next week ECW has a special day and start time. Thursday at 7/6c instead of the usual Tuesday at 10/9c. So make sure to watch. The show is only coming on at that day and time next week, but afterward it will go back to Tuesday at 10/9c. It is only seen on Sci Fi.
I want to hear from you, the Toywiz readers and customers. Who is the best to come from ECW, and who do you think will be the next big star in the WWE from there?
