With two titles changing hands and The Undertaker getting his revenge on Brock Lesnar in disputable fashion, this week's edition of the show should be must-see television.

8 Possible Matches For WWE Night of Champions
The main focus on this week's show lies within Lesnar's client Paul Heyman. It's unknown if "The Beast" will be there live, but Heyman has vowed on Twitter that he is going to rant about the controversial ending to SummerSlam.
In the main event Sunday, The Undertaker tapped out to Lesnar, but the referee didn't see it and the timekeeper rang the bell without the official's discretion. The match then continued, and 'Taker startled "The Beast," causing him to pass out in the Hell's Gate and lose the contest.
The war between the two also gave the WWE this classic moment:
The Undertaker is rumored to have left New York City, so he's unlikely for the show while there has been speculation that Sting may appear. A big angle for WrestleMania 32 has been rumored to start this week as well, according to several rumor sites.
There is also some celebrating to do for The Authority as Seth Rollins, with an assist from former "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart, defeated John Cena to win the United States Championship and retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. With the victory, "The Architect" becomes the first man in history to hold both of those belts simultaneously.
Rollins is sure to gloat about the accomplishment while the "Cenation" leader is also likely to have plenty to say.
The U.S. belt wasn't the only gold to change hands Sunday as The New Day survived a four-team battle to dethrone the Prime Time Players of the Tag Team Championships. Monday night should provide more clarity as to what is next for the tag team division.
With Night of Champions, the next WWE Network special, airing on Sept. 20 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Tex., the card may begin to take shape this week as well.
In the aftermath of "The Biggest Party of the Summer," a volatile episode of Monday Night RAW is expected this week in Brooklyn.
