ECW CHAMPION KANE vs BIG SHOW vs MARK HENRY
source: WWE.com - Triple Threat Match: Similar to what the Land of the Extreme endured at the 2007 Draft, this year’s Draft took the ECW Championship away from its home brand, as Kane was drafted to Raw. At Sunday's Night of Champions, however, the gold returned in the form of new ECW Champion Mark Henry when he pinned the Big Red Machine in their Triple Threat Match.
Kane suffered a knee injury early on in the contest, leaving him outside of the ring for much of the match. After regaining his strength, the Big Red Machine put everything he had left into throwing Big Show off the top turnbuckle, leaving both giants involved in the maneuver gasping on the canvas. Henry quickly capitalized with a splash and a three-count to become ECW Champion.
The night saw other championships change hands as well as brand homes . . . RAW's Kofi Kingston defeated Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Title, Cody Rhodes changed partners mid-match and now holds the World Tag Team Title with Ted Dibiase, and Mickie James still holds the Women's Championship Title on RAW. ECW's tag duo held on to the WWE Tag Team Title, and Matt Hardy brought his United States Championship with him to ECW. SmackDown hung on to the World Heavyweight Title and now hosts the WWE Title as well.
Raisin' KANE
A powerful explosion rocks the arena - fire licks out from the TitanTron entrance as the volley reverberates off the walls, competing mightily with the screaming and cheering fans. From out of the flames he towers - larger than life and wearing an expression blacker than sin . . . it's KANE!
This tortured soul turned self professed monster enjoys a vast and steadfast fan base the world over, and we here at KANENITE CENTRAL are only too delighted to be among the ever increasing numbers. Join us as we share in the highs 'n lows, the triumphs & tragedies that continue to shape the mystery, the man, the monster that is KANE!
