U.S. Champion Sheamus def. Curtis Axel (Non-Title Match)

Cesaro sits at ringside to watch United States Champion Sheamus go one-on-one wirth Curtis Axel.

Curtis Axel went to war with United States Champion Sheamus, while Cesaro joined new main Event announcing team Michael Cole and Byron Saxton at the announce table. After slapping Sheamus around, an infuriated Celtic Warrior retaliated with smash-mouth offense. With Axel still reeling, the champion put him away with a vicious Brogue Kick. After the bout, Cesaro smugly tossed Sheamus’ title to the champion before sauntering up the entrance ramp.

NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS MATCH PREVIEW

Nikki Bella def. Emma


Still fresh off her sisterly betrayal, Nikki Bella took the fight to Emma. With a brutal right hand — similar to the one she hit her sister, Brie, with at SummerSlam — Nikki stunned Emma. The malicious Diva followed it up with a backbreaker for the pinfall.

Titus O'Neil & Heath Slater vs. Los Matadores

Los Matadores bring a new mascot to the ring to join El Torito for their match against Heath Slater & Titus O'Neil.

Los Matadores brought reinforcements for their corner in the form of La Vaquita (Hornswoggle in a cow outfit). After avoiding two near pinfall attempts, Slater picked up the victory for his team. Following the bout, Slater looked to dish out some punishment to the diminutive mascots, but El Torito (Spanish for "little bull") and La Vaquita (Spanish for "little cow") got the better of Slater, sending him crashing from the ring onto his tag partner, The Gator.

Big Show def. Erick Rowan

Two giants collide on "WWE Main Event" when Big Show faces Erick Rowan.

From the start, big Erick Rowan proved to be a formidable challenger for The World's Largest Athlete. With Mark Henry in his corner, Big Show did his best gain momentum back after a tough start. Rowan nearly scored a victory with a massive body slam like the one he delivered on Raw, but Show managed to stay alive and deliver a punishing KO Punch for the win.
