Background
Night of Champions will feature professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing feuds, plots, and storylines that played out on IWE's primary television programs. Wrestlers portrayed villains or heroes as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
The main event from Raw will see CM Punk defending his IWE Championship against Dustin Simpson. A great rivalry that was rekindled on July 23rd at Raw 1,000 when Simpson cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase against Punk and failed to win the title due to interference by Big Show that resulted in a disqualification. This led to a triple threat match at Summerslam featuring Punk, Simpson and Show. During the match, Simpson would have Big Show beat only to be thrown out of the ring by Punk, who would steal a victory. The following night on RAW, Punk would be granted the right to chose his next challenger for Night of Champions. The champions was quick to announce that he would choose John Cena, on the condition that he would admit on live television that CM Punk is the best in the world. Simpson would refuse to do so leaving a big question mark on who would face the champion at the event. The following week however, Raw GM AJ Lee would announce that it was "her decision" to make the match, regardless of any stipulation Punk had put into place.
The main event from SmackDown involves champion Sheamus against Alberto Del Rio for the IWE World Heavyweight Championship. Upon being defeated by Sheamus again at SummerSlam, Del Rio felt that because of the referee's mistake (Del Rio's foot was on the bottom rope during the pin that cost him the match), he deserved yet another chance at the championship. Sheamus felt that Del Rio had enough chances to beat him and said that someone like Kevin McAlmond, who just returned from suspension, deserved a chance at the championship. Del Rio would go on to defeat McAlmond and get another chance to claim the title from Sheamus.
