Randy Orton Prevails Again in Triple Threat at Night of Champions

Wrestlemania history repeated with Randy Orton retaining in the Triple Threat Match.

In the three years that Night of Champions has been in effect, the WWE Title has never switched hands – so Night of Champions history has repeated yet again.

What was sure to be the main event of the night – turned out to be the fourth to last match; which comes as a shock, since Triple H, John Cena, and Randy Orton are the three biggest superstars of the WWE today.

Triple H and Cena seemed to dominate the night, as two titans of the wrestling world should – but Orton would not let his championship slip so easily.

The battle ensued outside the ring – remember in Triple Threat Matches there are no Count-Outs – with Cena applying the STF on the Game on top of the Smackdown announce table.

J.R. and Grisham looked on since at any moment Triple H could have passed out – But Orton broke it up with a strike to Cena’s head.

Cena would then try again inside the middle of the ring, with no place for the Game to go.

Orton seeing his title slipping away, broke it up and started stopping over Cena and Triple H.

Cena then had the upper hand when he applied the Five-Knuckle Shuffle and perhaps going for the Attitude Adjustment – But Triple H made sure to get rid of Cena so he could punish Orton for all the pain he has put him and his family through this past year.

Triple H applied a Sharpshooter to the scurrying Orton, and then Cena came in to apply the STF.

With this Sharpshooter-STF combo, Orton had no where to go and started to tap out – but the referee had no idea how to call it, because who was Orton tapping out to?

Many believed the match should have ended there with Triple H and Cena being co-winners, but the WWE Title can only be crowned to one person.

Rhodes and DiBiase came to the rescue and broke up the double-submission.

In one felt swoop, Orton struck Cena with the RKO. And for those of you who watched Wrestlemania XXIV, recall that it was Cena who Orton covered to retain his Title – and once again Orton would leave the Triple Threat still Champion with the assistance of Legacy.
