The King of the Ring tournament final is set to be Oba Femi vs. Jey Uso. Uso is back in The Bloodline and has marching orders from World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns to win the tournament and then defeat Cody Rhodes to bring the WWE Championship back to the family. Many critics of Uso's previous world title push are reportedly horrified by the idea of him running it back as the new King of WWE.

For fans seeking a fresh direction, Oba Femi is presented as a potential game-changer. Femi has reportedly made a significant impact since his WWE debut, notably destroying Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 and sending him into fake retirement. Lesnar returned to face Femi at Clash In Italy, where he reportedly needed seven F5s to defeat Oba Femi. Jey Uso is clearly the underdog against Oba Femi in a fair match. The Bloodline may be lurking in the shadows to make sure Femi loses the King of the Ring tournament, and Brock Lesnar may also be lurking with incentives to see Femi defeated.

The winner of the King of the Ring tournament earns a world title match at SummerSlam. The winner of the Queen of the Ring tournament will also get a title match at SummerSlam. The Queen of the Ring final takes place during the first hour of Night of Champions, simulcast on ESPN’s cable channel, and features IYO SKY vs. Liv Morgan. Liv Morgan is already the women’s world champion on Raw but also wants to win the WWE women’s championship.

Additional Night of Champions Matches Advertised:

The WWE Championship match is a triple threat contest featuring Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Sami Zayn vs. GUNTHER. GUNTHER failed to beat Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship at Clash In Italy due to a bad referee decision. His subsequent rematch was reportedly an overbooked mess where GUNTHER failed to win the title due to Sami Zayn’s fast count. The triple threat match at Night of Champions is a chance for Cody Rhodes to end "all this nonsense." For Sami Zayn, this match is a chance at redemption after he reportedly choked in a WWE title match the last time WWE came to Saudi Arabia, an event described as the Saudi Rumble. This loss is cited as the main reason he has been an emotional wreck for much of 2026. GUNTHER may be on the verge of striking out in his third chance at the WWE Championship over the last 30 days, but he can win the title today by pinning Sami Zayn instead of Cody Rhodes.

Other advertised matches include Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker in a Steel Cage match, Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Jade Cargill for the Women’s United States championship, and Trick Williams (c) vs. Ricky Saints for the United States championship.
