The complete six-match lineup for WWE Night of Champions is officially locked in ahead of the June 27 premium live event at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Cody Rhodes will put his Undisputed WWE Championship on the line in a Triple Threat match against Gunther and Sami Zayn, while the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments will crown their respective winners.
What We Know
- The event streams live on ESPN in the United States and Netflix internationally.
- Oba Femi faces Jey Uso in the King of the Ring tournament final.
- Raw Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan squares off against Iyo Sky for the Queen of the Ring crown.
- Tournament winners earn the right to challenge for any world title at SummerSlam, bypassing standard brand restrictions.
The championship picture shifted following a controversial disqualification finish during the June 19 SmackDown broadcast. WWE finalized the complete Night of Champions broadcast lineup on Saturday, confirming Zayn’s addition to the main event.
This event marks the 15th premium live event produced under WWE’s ongoing partnership with the Saudi General Entertainment Authority and the second consecutive year the promotion has utilized the Kingdom Arena.
The mid-card features two secondary title defenses. Trick Williams defends the United States Championship against Ricky Saints. Tiffany Stratton puts her Women’s United States Championship on the line against Jade Cargill. Rounding out the schedule is a Steel Cage match pitting Seth Rollins against Bron Breakker.
The Queen of the Ring final introduces a direct cross-brand conflict. If Morgan wins the tournament while actively holding the Raw Women’s World Championship, the updated tournament rules allow her to pivot and challenge for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the upcoming SummerSlam event.
