Zack Ryder will face Antonio Cesaro at NOC

There was a battle royal match for number one contender at Pre-Show before WWE Night Of Champions 2012. It supposed to have 20 wrestlers, but it ended up with just 16 of them.

We could see Brodus Clay, Justin Gabriel, Primo, Epico, Lord Tensai, Tyson Kidd, Michael McGillicutty, Zack Ryder, Titus O´Neil, Darren Young, Jinder Mahal, JTG, Drew McIntyre, Ted DiBiase, Heath Slater and Santino Marella.

I was hoping for somebody "new" wins and get shot at the United State´s championships. But I was kinda wrong! The winner of the Royal Battle was Zack Ryder. So The Long Island Iced Z will face Antonio Cesaro tonight for Night of Champions 2012!
