Jericho’s announcement of Edge’s replacement came as a shock, especially for Legacy.Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes were hoping for lighting to strike twice this year and walk out as the Unified Tag Team Champions; however, they were not prepared for the Big Show!
The Show, sporting a new blue leotard, was ready for action and to take up the mantel as Edge’s replacement.
Originally meant to compete in the Six Pack Challenge for Kofi Kingston’s United States Championship, but instead chose to fight alongside the Best in the World Today as one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions.
Legacy tried to keep Jericho in their corner, through quick tags and cutting the ring in half but it was not enough.
It was last year that DiBiase teased the WWE Universe with a mystery partner to face off against the team of Rhodes and Hardcore Holly; however, it would come as a shock when his mystery partner turned out to be his opponent, Cody Rhodes. The two walked out last year as Champions and wished to do the same.
Night of Champions’ history repeated itself as the man with the mystery partner would walk out as tag team champion – in this case Chris Jericho’s Code Breaker and the Big Show’s Colossal Clutch – insured the victory.
It was unfortunate that last year’s Champion with the mystery partner would be forced to submit this year to the colossal giant – The Big Show!
Jericho had teased the WWE Universe by asking the aid of WWE’s other giants: Mark Henry, Kane, and The Great Khali – but it would be “The World’s Largest Athlete” that Jericho would entrust with the other half of the Unified Tag Team Championships.
Well thought out by Chris Jericho as the duo will be an unstoppable force that no current tag team will be able to beat.
According to Xtreme Wrestling Scoops and online sources – McMahon was not too thrilled with this being the opening match – to the point that he threw his headset and walked away.
- It was possibly meant for a later match in the night with the United States Six Pack Challenge being the opening match, in my opinion the match should've been later.
- WWETheReturn Prediction for this match: DEAD ON!
