One major main event rematch stood out as the selling point for Night Of Champions beforehand. Indeed, the second biggest bout on the card had to be cancelled prior to show time (more on that later), the third most important scrap hadn't received much in the way of promotion, another match had a predictable result, and the other championship clashes were either rematches or were simply showdowns that didn't capture one's imagination in the run-up to the PPV. Fortunately, the quality of the action on display generally outweighed the uninspiring line-up, and so we ended up with a worthwhile show, even though NOC delivered some questionable results.
Opening the show was then WWE Tag Team Title match, pitting The Usos against Goldust and Stardust. The Dust Brothers took on a new layer when Cody Rhodes transformed into Stardust in June, and then they bizarrely (no pun intended) turned heel on the Usos shortly after SummerSlam, thus leading us to this PPV showdown. It had the potential to be a good match on paper, and so it proved on the night, but does anyone really want to boo Goldust at this stage of his career? And while the Stardust character is something different, I'm not sure if this is something that the "WWE Universe" really wants to see either.
