As things stand right now, the only matches officially set for the September
21st WWE Night Of Champions pay-per-view in Nashville, Tennessee are Brock
Lesnar vs. John Cena for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Sheamus vs.
Cesaro for the WWE United States Championship and Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz for
the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

According to reports, two additional matches that are all but confirmed are
The Usos vs. Goldust and Stardust for the WWE Tag-Team Championships and Mark
Henry vs. Rusev.

The plan right now for the WWE Divas Championship match on the card appears
to be a four-way with Paige defending against AJ Lee, Nikki Bella and Brie
Bella, as all four were linked together on all of WWE’s television shows this
week.

Another match likely for the show, although it may not be a pay-per-view
match, is Bo Dallas vs. Jack Swagger.

The key Superstars left without matches that are expected on the show are
Chris Jericho (in his final match of his current run with WWE), Bray Wyatt, Luke
Harper and Erick Rowan, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.

It appears WWE is going with a Reigns vs. Rollins match, so they may go with
Jericho vs. Orton since the Jericho vs. Wyatt and Reigns vs. Orton matches are
set for next week’s RAW to combat the season premiere of Monday Night Football.
However, they could either way, with one final Jericho vs. Wyatt “blow-off”
match, as well as another Reigns vs. Orton bout.

As noted in the past, the WWE Studios film “Lockdown,” which Dean Ambrose is
off filming, is set to wrap up on the Saturday before Night Of Champions, so he
could end up on the show if WWE chooses to go that route.
