source: WWE.com - Five days prior to Night of Champions and one day after being pulled away from the Land of the Extreme in the stunning 2008 WWE Draft, ECW Champion Kane squared off a in a non-title match against The World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry.
To the surprise of all, Henry pinned the ECW Champion in the middle of the ring while The Big Show watched from the announce table at ringside. The monumental win brings credibility to Henry's recent claims that he belongs in championship competition with the likes of the Big Red Machine and the World’s Largest Athlete, Big Show.
Afterwards, ECW General Manager Theodore Long announced the ECW Championship will now be contested in a Triple Threat Match between Kane, Big Show and Mark Henry at Night of Champions.
