Christian beats Tommy Dreamer to become ECW champion

The birthplace of ECW birthed a new title reign for Christian as he beat Tommy Dreamer with the killswitch finisher to become the new ECW champion at the WWE Night of Champions PPV. The match featured nine minutes of back and forth action between the babyfaces to only a moderate crowd response.

Despite the Philadelphia setting, WWE fans supported the non-ECW original Christian over ECW original Dreamer in the contest. With the original ECW fanbase long since drifted away and Tommy Dreamer's comeback storyline played out, it made little sense to keep the belt on Dreamer.

While Dreamer should maintain a role of some kind on the ECW brand, expect Christian to continue as its flagship wrestler for the foreseeable future. With Jack Swagger and his compatriots gone, there just isn't anyone else left who is worthy yet of the title belt.
