Takeaways from WWE Night of Champions: John Cena does it again

The New Bloodline is once again on top

It was only a matter of time before Solo Sikoa got his hands on a singles title on the main roster and it was done with help from a surprise debut.

Hikuelo, a member of the bloodline, made his highly anticipated WWE debut and took out Jacob Fatu. His presence allowed for Sikoa to take advantage and knock off Fatu to secure the United States Championship.

The new bloodline already had the advantage in the numbers game and now with the debut of Hikuelo, they will be in full control of Friday Night SmackDown every week.

Karrion Kross finally got his opportunity

For months now, the WWE universe has been pleading for Karrion Kross to get a bit of a mini-push and be showcased more on the weekly shows.

He was finally given that opportunity with a 1-on-1 match against Sami Zayn, and while he ultimately took the loss, it was still the biggest opportunity he's been given in quite some time.

Kross's appearance at Night of Champions could be a sign that the company has big plans for him and could use him in a greater capacity soon.

Both women's matches delivered

Rhea Ripley, Raquel Rodriguez, Jade Cargill and Asuka were the four women featured on the show, and all four delivered in a big way.

Ripley and Rodriguez delivered in an excellent street fight match that saw Ripley come away victorious. 

Cargill and Asuka battled in the Queen of the Ring finals, and Cargill got what could arguably be considered the biggest win of her WWE career in that match.

Babyface John Cena is ever so close

John Cena's heel turn four months ago was a shocking moment in WWE history and with just about five months remaining until his departure, he is sure to turn back to a baby face at some point.

He has shown hints of that in his last two title defenses, most recently being in Saturday's match against CM Punk.

He did ultimately come away with a dirty win with the help of Seth Rollins, but the babyface Cena that has been on TV for the last 20-plus years is almost all the way back.
