Mark Henry def. Randy Orton (New World Heavyweight Champion)

BUFFALO, N.Y. – After 15 years in WWE, Mark Henry finally dominated his way into greatness, capturing his first World Heavyweight Championship in a clash of pure brutality with Randy Orton at Night of Champions. (PHOTOS)

Though Mark Henry was destined to make history when the smoke cleared, his grueling championship showdown with the incomparable Randy Orton proved nothing short of all-out mutual destruction from the word go. The Viper’s quick, calculated intensity and unending heart allowed him to dish out incredible damage to his incensed No. 1 contender. Henry’s powerful fury and unrelenting strength answered back with an unspeakable amount of punishment on the nine-time World Champion. However, when all was said and done, it was just a question of fate. Following a crippling kick to Orton’s leg, Henry avoided the RKO, hitting his wounded prey with the World’s Strongest Slam to earn a victory a decade and a half in the making.

Just moments after the biggest triumph of his career, the new World Heavyweight Champion refused to share his triumph with anyone, welcomed the WWE Universe to his “Hall of Pain” and informed all the “doubters” and “haters” that he will be the most dominant champion ever.

For months now, an enraged Henry has been busy, filling his infamous “Hall of Pain” with a list of victims that included Kane, Big Show, Sheamus and any other unfortunate soul who has gotten in his way. However, once he became the No. 1 contender to the World Heavyweight Title in a 20-Man Battle Royal on SmackDown (WATCH), The World's Strongest Man turned even more vicious, relentless and focused in his brutal path of destruction. And the focal point was WWE’s Apex Predator. The furious Superstar took down The Viper moments after Orton’s Steel Cage World Title victory over Christian on a live SuperSmackDown Aug. 30 (WATCH), repeated his onslaught 10 days later on SmackDown and then again in the midst of massive mayhem that followed “The Cutting Edge.” (WATCH) Despite the incredible list of credits to Randy Orton’s name, the irate grappler destined to rip the World Title from his grasp possesses both the rage and experience to become one of the most dominant World Heavyweight Champions in WWE history. Does the The Viper have what it takes to knock this uncontrollable force of nature off the top of mountain? Find out this Friday on SmackDown at 8/7 CT on Syfy.

Divas Champion Kelly Kelly def. Beth Phoenix

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Kelly Kelly defeated Beth Phoenix at Night of Champions to retain the Divas Championship, proving once again she’s not just a pretty face, but a fierce opponent. It was her second consecutive pay-per-view victory and successful title defense against The Glamazon, which was no small task. (PHOTOS)

“Competing against Beth in her hometown was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my entire life. As soon as I walked through that curtain, I knew the WWE Universe would be on Beth’s side. So I just had to block everybody out. I was in this to win it,” Kelly Kelly told WWE.com after the match.

With her big victory on a night where every championship was on the line, Kelly Kelly was out to show that she’s not the “cute, perky blond bimbo” whose days were numbered, as Beth has described. (WATCH: BETH'S POST-MATCH REACTION)

“I tuned everybody out and showed a side of me no one has ever seen before. I wanted to show people I am not giving up. I proved I am not just a pretty face,” the Divas Champion said.

During the hard-fought match, Beth took her opponent down with an extraordinary suplex off the top rope and nearly pinned her, but Kelly Kelly kicked out just before the three-count. Beth’s hometown crowd was behind her as she almost Glam Slammed her way to a win, but Kelly Kelly reversed the finisher and rolled up The Glamazon for the victory.

“After this match tonight, I hope I’ve proved some people wrong. We’re trying to step up in the Divas division, show that we’re not just pretty faces. I felt like I proved that tonight,” Kelly Kelly said. “I am proving it for all the models out there, who do believe in a dream. This is my dream to be Divas Champion, and I am proving it.”

Earlier this summer, The Glamazon and Natalya made it clear they were determined to change the very face of the Divas division, wiping out its “Cinderellas” and capturing the title for themselves. Despite her impressive stature and unparalleled strength in the ring, Beth couldn’t claim the butterfly-emblazoned title in front of her hometown crowd at Night of Champions, thanks to Kelly Kelly.

With two impressive victories over Beth, has Kelly Kelly finally proven to not only her fellow Divas, but the WWE Universe, that she is worthy of continuing her title reign? Or will Beth and Natalya continue their quest not only for the Divas Championship, but to change the face of the division?

“The sky is the limit for me,” Kelly Kelly said with confidence. “I am holding on to my Divas Championship. Whoever wants to step up next, I’ll prove them wrong, too. I plan to keep this as long as I can.”

WWE Smackdown results [September 16,2011]

“The Cutting Edge” turned into pandemonium (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Through his assistant Zack Ryder, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long made it clear to both World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and Mark Henry that there was to be “no contact” between them while appearing as special guests on “The Cutting Edge.” The SmackDown GM decreed that if there was any physicality, their World Heavyweight Championship Match at Night of Champions would be called off.
Returning to SmackDown in heroic style, the incomparable Edge questioned both Superstars about their ability to defeat each other this Sunday. While Henry insisted that 15 years of aggression was building up to the moment when the World Title would finally be his in just two days, Orton made it clear that after the pay-per-view was over, Henry would still be the “World’s Strongest Failure.”
As tensions reached a fever pitch, The Ultimate Opportunist reminded his guests about the SmackDown’s GM “no contact” decree during his show. However, as he exited the ring, he declared “The Cutting Edge” to be officially over, lighting the fuse to Henry and Orton’s extremely explosive physical confrontation.
As Orton and Henry began to unload on each other, Long sent out a sea of WWE Superstars to break them up. This did little good, as both WWE’s Apex Predator and The World’s Strongest Man broke loose in the bedlam and immediately reengaged each other. Henry eventually gained the advantage, throwing Superstars from the ring and crushing the World Heavyweight Champion with two massive splashes. Holding the World Title high above his head, the infuriated No. 1 contender prophesized what could very well be Randy Orton’s fate at Night of Champions. (MATCH PREVIEW)

Divas Champion Kelly Kelly def. Vickie Guerrero (WATCH | PHOTOS)
U.S. Champion Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger could use a timeout. The petulant pair clashed as Dolph stood at ringside to support manager Vickie Guerrero in her match against Divas Champion Kelly Kelly. Unfortunately for Vickie, Swagger ran down and smacked his blond rival, distracting WWE’s resident cougar. As a result, the Divas Champion made easy work of her rival.

After the chaos cleared, Beth Phoenix marched to the ring and attempted to level an unsuspecting Kelly. The Divas Champion, however, nailed her Night of Champions adversary before she could attack.

Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes def. World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton in a Non-title Match (WATCH | PHOTOS)
World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton has seen better days. The Viper entered into a rematch with Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes hoping to gain momentum going into Night of Champions. Instead, any drive Orton may have felt came to an alarming halt. As he battled Rhodes in the non-title match, his Night of Champions opponent, Mark Henry, pulled up a chair and watched from atop the entrance ramp. During the bout, though, The World’s Strongest Man began an ominous walk toward the ring. As the frightening figure drew closer, Orton took his eyes off the Intercontinental Champion, who cracked him in the skull with his face mask, causing The Viper to flatten on the canvas.

After Rhodes’ victory, Henry stalked into the ring and drove the steel chair upon which he was sitting onto Orton’s back. He then snatched the World Heavyweight Champion’s title and held it aloft, vowing to capture it from Orton this Sunday.
