In the King of the Ring final, it will be the dominant Oba Femi taking on The Bloodline's Jey Uso. On the women's side, it will be women's world champion Liv Morgan going head-to-head with Iyo Sky for Queen of the Ring.

Arguably the most anticipated match of the night has no title or crown on the line, with Bron Breakker and Seth Rollins looking to settle their long-running feud inside a steel cage.

Also, Cody Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Gunther and Sami Zayn in a triple threat match, plus two other title matches.

WWE Night of Champions 2026 Match Predictions

CBS Sports wrestling experts Brent Brookhouse and Shakiel Mahjouri have offered their predictions for the Night of Champions card.

The experts believe that while Sami Zayn's involvement adds freshness, Cody Rhodes is unlikely to lose the Undisputed WWE Championship at this event. A triple threat match offers a potential out for Rhodes to retain without taking a pinfall, but current booking suggests WWE is not ready to move on from him as champion.

As my colleague pointed out, this feud has gone on way too long and has been crippled by injuries to just about everyone who has touched it. Rollins working things out with The Street Profits, and even helping them defeat The Vision for the tag titles, means that there will be backup to help fight off interference from The Vision. Rollins has hinted over and over about going after Roman Reigns, and he'd need the momentum of a win here for that to really carry any weight. Pick: Seth Rollins wins -- Brookhouse

Mahjouri anticipates a win for Bron Breakker to elevate him, suggesting Rollins is in a position to absorb a loss. Brookhouse, however, predicts a Seth Rollins victory, citing Rollins' need for momentum to pursue Roman Reigns and the potential support from The Street Profits against interference from The Vision.

Both experts predict Jey Uso will win the King of the Ring final.

The experts predict Iyo Sky will win the Queen of the Ring tournament. The reasoning suggests WWE will avoid placing two major women's world titles on one superstar, highlighting Sky's talent and Morgan's less significant long-term upside, especially with SummerSlam on the horizon.

Both analysts favor Tiffany Stratton to retain her Women's United States Championship against Jade Cargill. They note that while neither has had a memorable reign as women's champion, Stratton possesses more future upside, and the Women's United States Championship serves as an ideal platform for her development towards a future world title run.

The United States Championship match is set to feature current champion Trick Williams defending against Ricky Saints. Williams is identified as a significant figure for SmackDown's midcard, maintaining substantial popularity with live audiences since his graduation to the main roster.
