-- Nothing has been announced yet regarding a Chris Jericho Intercontinental title defense at this Sunday's Night of Champions pay-per-view, but WWE does have plans for him to defend the belt against someone. At one point the plan was for Jeff Hardy to wrestle Jericho for the IC title, but due to his move to SmackDown, that plan has likely changed. -- There is going to be a SmackDown Women's Championship match. During the 6-women tag on last night's SmackDown, Jim Ross and Mick Foley said on commentary that Natalya will be wrestling for the new Women's Championship. They said Vickie Guerrero will be choosing her opponent at the event. It is still unknown as to if the title match will take place at WWE Night Of Champions. -- Mick Foley confirmed on this week's SmackDown broadcast that Melina has in fact fractured her heel. www.pwmania.com/newsarticle.php?page=216701808

I hope Natalya doesn't fight Maria, cause I have a bad feeling Vince likes her enough to actually give her the title.

Jericho should defend against Rey, and retain. If he faced Punk, and Punk lost, that would kill some momentum - not that he's had any lately, and if Punk does decide to cash in at the end of the night, a loss to the IC Champ beforehand wouldn't make sense. Punk would either have to get irritated with Jericho and hit him with the briefcase, as to say he's had enough of his antics (kind of like Edge at NYR'06, but not that mindset) and then go to the back, not to be seen again until after the ME, where he cashes in and wins the WWE Championship from Triple H, who retains.
I think a sure fire way of knowing if Punk will cash in is if Edge retains and Triple H does, as well. Then everybody will be like, "So now we have the two top championships on SmackDown!?" Then Punk comes out, beats Triple H, and keeps it on Raw.
The only problem with that is it's a heel tactic, to capitalize on someone who is already hurt after a match.
Wow, I just keep contradicting myself.
Night of Champions may be the least predictable WWE PPV in a long time, but match-wise, it definitely isn't the most solid, and I don't expect it to get as many buys as previous PPVs, because of missing talent, such as Shawn Michaels, Rey (if he doesn't end up being Y2J's mystery opponent), MVP, Undertaker, Randy Orton, and others.
Also, the SmackDown! Tag Title match is a complete joke. Hornswoggle & Finlay?? Come on... That's like a handicapped match, and Miz & Morrison better retain the titles this time. They've escaped as champions from a lot of close encounters, so to lose to one guy and a midget would be horrible and make them look weak.

Lol, when i saw the topic i thought Melina was turning heel. Me too What I think is gonna happen is that there it's going to be HBK v.s. Y2J. And Natalya is going to ether v.s. Victoria or McCool.

Maybe Hardy brings the IC title to SmackDown since they have no midcard title now and Raw has the ECW title.

I thought maybe Vickie would put herself in the match and have the edgeheads but the girl down and win, but that would only work if she was facing a face and not Natalya.

Rey Should face Jericho. It would be a great and entertaining match, if Rey is as good as he was before he was injured.

I wish the diva's title match was a fatal 4 way with Natalyia v Victoria v michelle v Maria where Victoria would pin Maria after the widow's peak! That would be the best and would outshine the WWE women's title match where EVERYONE knows Mickie will retain! Jericho should face off against Punk and Y2J should cheat to win or HBK should come out and stop the match.. Poor Melina is injured right when she was turning face! That is soo sad..

Plans for this Smackdown womans title may be changing i believe, as well, with Trips working Tuesdays now, Taker is most probably gonna end up on Monday nights with that said, McCool who they have been inexplicably jamming down our throats recently - ugly as btw but also banging the Taker - hence the big push - would also move to Mondays - thats my theory so it looks like it might be Maria then. Just my theory, i wish they would bin the idea right now.

jericho having an ego will lay out an open challenge to any of the past ic champs and this will lead to d'lo who will win thanks to shawn michaels interfering thus making d'lo's return even bigger but thats just a guess

Natalya vs. Maria would be a complete swerve, considering they've been setting up Natalya vs. McCool since the title was announced. I saw this from the Observer. With the creation of the Smackdown ladies championship, the Smackdown roster need another diva that could wrestle. The decision was made to move Maria to Smackdown instead of Kelly Kelly.

-- Mick Foley confirmed on this week's SmackDown broadcast that Melina has in fact fractured her heel. So that's why she turned face!
