As was noted earlier, WWE Night of Champions will start off hot with a big match to kick things off.
#BWE on Twitter was first to report earlier this week that WWE was leaning towards having the World Heavyweight Championship match between Seth Rollins and AJ Styles kick off the show.
It’s not the norm to have a World Title kick off a show but it has happened before and in this case, they are doing it because Seth Rollins needs to hop on a plane immediately after his match.
#BWE reported that the word backstage is that Rollins needs to be back in the United States to continue his movie contract obligations. Rollins was recently spotted on the set of Marvel’s “Captain America: New World Order.”
It’s still not clear if this will affect who wins the match but if Rollins won’t be available for TV in the coming weeks or months, then it could mean that Styles might win the title today in Saudi Arabia. Again, that’s not confirmed but what is confirmed is that Rollins/Styles will kick off the show.
