WWE Night Of Champions 2012 » Matches » The Miz vs Cody Rhodes vs Rey Mysterio vs SinCara (IC Championship - Fatal 4 Way)

In every match, there is a story; a history that follows the two competitors between the ropes and carries them throughout any given contest. The Fatal 4-Way Match for the Intercontinental Championship at Night of Champions is no different. For The Miz, it is, as always, about himself: about forcing his way into the limelight and exerting his brand over WWE, same as it was when he held the WWE Title for five months. And although Miz is the Intercontinental Champion now, his goals are still the same: to take a title known for its classic prestige and usher it into an era of AAAAWWWESOOOMEEE-ness and to transform it into an extension of himself no matter what Superstar stands in his way. The three men who The Awesome One will face have all wronged him or, worse, one-upped him in recent weeks, which means Miz has a major ax to grind. With the Intercontinental Title in hand, he has an opportunity to build himself back up to the mountaintop and rest assured, there is no tactic he won’t exploit to see that his dream is realized once again. For Rey Mysterio, Night of Champions is about retribution. The Master of the 619 challenged The Miz for his title at SummerSlam, seeking his first championship since his return following a year off due to injury. What he got instead was another injury: a concussion sustained at the hands of a ravenous Miz in the process of fending off the masked man’s efforts. The injury put him out of commission for a week, threatening to cut his comeback short before it even began. Recent weeks teaming with Sin Cara, however, have shown that he’s shaken off the hurt. Mysterio is healthy, the playing field is evened once again and the Intercontinental Championship — not to mention the man who wears it — rests squarely in the sights of The Ultimate Underdog. For Sin Cara, this match is about validation. Night of Champions will be one of the first times The International Sensation challenges for a championship in WWE, and expectations for the mystifying luchador are, as always, high. Sin Cara has been on his biggest roll of late, racking up victories over Cody Rhodes, The Miz, and managing to save himself from the same ignominious fate as his doppelganger last year by retaining his signature mask. Victory at Night of Champions will not come with the greatest of ease, but considering Rhodes’ preoccupation with unmasking the luchadores, and Mysterio and Miz focusing on each other, the time is ripe for The Mexican Icon to do what he has always done best: defy the odds, defy expectations, defy gravity and finally hoist championship gold. As for Cody Rhodes? Well. For him, this match might have been about the Intercontinental Title at one time. It might have been about cementing his legacy as the greatest Rhodes in the family tree and establishing himself as the premier young lion in the jungle of WWE. But the prominence of masked men like Mysterio and Sin Cara has awoken an old obsession within Rhodes: the desire to expose the ugliness he believes rests within us all. He has not sought wins so much as humiliation these last few weeks, attempting to pry the masks of both Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara. These attacks have been to the detriment of his win-loss record, but Rhodes has grown more feral as the weeks pass. On Raw, his rage reached a fever pitch when he defeated Mysterio and felled The Miz with Cross Rhodes before grabbing The Awesome One’s title and screaming that it was his “baby.” In the right scenario, with enough factors in play and with just the right element of surprise in his back pocket, Rhodes could, finally, expose his enemies’ faces to the world at last … and maybe, just maybe, reclaim that which was once precious to him in the process. Whose obsession, drive and determination will win out in the Fatal 4-Way? Tune in this Sunday to Night of Champions at 8/7 CT to find out, only on pay-per-view

>> Money In the Bank 2012 Matches : Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract

World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus already knew the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract would mean he’d have a new No. 1 contender. Now, after the final qualifying match on Monday night's Raw SuperShow, The Great White knows all eight interesting possibilities for whom that contender could be.

Following a series of qualifying matches that took place over the past few weeks, the competitors in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract have been decided, and the field is an exciting one featuring a diverse mix of styles.

“The Intellectual Savior to the Unwashed Masses,” Damien Sandow, was the first to punch his ticket back on the June 29 edition of SmackDown. Staving off the “ignorance, mediocrity and stupidity” of fan-favorite Zack Ryder, Sandow continued his unbeaten ways, winning the most important match of his young WWE career. Will “The Enlightened One” emerge victorious in the grueling Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract or is the loquacious Superstar biting off more than he can chew?

In SmackDown’s second qualifying match on June 29, Tyson Kidd picked up an upset win over a Superstar who not only previously won a Money in the Bank Ladder Match, but also successfully cashed in the contract, Jack Swagger. Pinning “The All-American American” after a back-and-forth contest, the always exciting Kidd booked himself a spot in a match where truly anything can happen.

Intercontinental Champion Christian and United States Champion Santino Marella sealed their spots in the match with a tag team victory over Cody Rhodes and David Otunga on June 29. The recently re-inspired Christian borrowed from his best friend, WWE Hall of Famer Edge, when he used a Spear to dispatch Otunga. Could either Captain Charisma or the master of The Cobra become the first dual-title holder since Ultimate Warrior?

The fearsome Tensai withstood the high-flying attacks of a game Justin Gabriel to make himself the fifth entrant in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract. Massive, powerful and relentless, the Japanese import figures to play a major role in this contest, as he looks to gain a guaranteed shot at Sheamus’ title.

On the special SuperSmackDown LIVE on July 3, Rhodes re-entered the Money in the Bank picture after Interim General Manager Theodore Long agreed to let him fight for a spot in the match. (Rhodes had previously lodged a formal protest on the grounds that he was not pinned in his first qualifying match, the aforementioned tag bout.) To secure his place, Rhodes had to defeat Intercontinental Champion Christian, which he did in a hard-fought battle. Will Rhodes be able to squeeze past Christian – and six other Superstars – on July 15?

Adding to the intrigue of the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract is Dolph Ziggler, who upended Alex Riley in a qualifying match on the July 3 show. Though The Showoff has had a tough go of trying to end Sheamus’ title reign in recent weeks, have back-to-back losses to The Celtic Warrior only served to further motivate the unquestionably driven Ziggler?

The eighth and final contestant is bound to add a whole different, daring element to the fast and furious action. Sin Cara won the last qualifying match on the July 9 edition of Raw SuperShow, capturing a spot in a Money in the Bank Ladder Match for the second year in a row. It was at Money in the Bank 2011 that The International Sensation took a brutal powerbomb through a ladder at the hands of Sheamus, knocking him out of the bout completely. Can Sin Cara beat the odds and move on to face the very Superstar who viciously injured him?

With eight qualifiers in total, the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling encounters of the year.

For the uninitiated, the savage Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract pits competitors against each other in a free-for-all format. Surrounding the ring is an assortment of ladders Superstars use to reach the prize that dangles 15 feet in the air: a contract that guarantees a title opportunity at the time and place of the winning Superstar’s choosing. So far, everyone who cashed in his contract has come away from his challenge as a new champion.

At Money in the Bank, one Superstar will emerge victorious from the chaos that is the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract with a golden opportunity at Sheamus’ World Heavyweight Title. Tune in to Money in the Bank July 15, live on pay-per-view at 8 ET/5 PT. (HOW TO WATCH)
