This is no longer happening btw, it's Night of Champions now.

All titles defended ... in Saudi... Sami and KO are dropping early aren't they

 

[Chris]

Or they're just just gonna not do the all titles gimmick bc they don't care lol

 

[Vegeta]

As I mentioned in the other thread. This is the same day Roman hits 1000 days as champ

Usos are gonna get the belts back and completely ruin that entire story now lol

 

[Storm Trooper]

Are they saying All Championships are being defended? I know that's what NoC was in the past but who's to say that's what happening this year?

 

[Vegeta]

Keep in mind, when they did Clash of Champions, not every title was on the line every year. I even fact checked that, only the US Title was every year. But as Trooper mentioned, NoC they were. So I guess it depends if they want to keep doing what Clash did, which did replace NoC

That, probably.

I said it in the Shoutbox already, I'm fine with them scrapping it. Maybe, just maybe, they thinking it over and bringing it back in a much better way. If not, eh, screw it.

 

[The Gipper]

If it is Romans 1000th day of being champion, why not name this ppv something to do with Reigns, similar to what they did with the Rock Bottom ppv?

I like that idea, but I dunno what they could even use. They probably couldn't (or wouldn't) use "Bloodline" or "God (Mode)" in the name. They are also in Saudi-Arabia, so I dunno if they could use anything about "Reigning" and he doesn't have good Move names either.

Night of Champions, even if they split from the original theme with all Titles being defended, is actually quite fitting, if it's actually the exact 1000th day for Roman as Champion.

It is. I looked it up. He won it August 30, 2020. 1000 days after is May 27, 2023. https://www.wikidates.org/calculate/1000-days-from-8-30-2020.html

I can tell you right now, the tag match won’t happen. Sami and KO don’t do Saudi. Unless they tape a match to be shown on the show or something haha.

That's some possible banger match ups

Liking this possibility of a Theory/Edge match and feud would also not be opposed to seeing edge win it.

No Gunther tho
