WWE presented Night of Champions 2026 on Saturday from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, featuring the finals of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, a Steel Cage Match between Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, Men’s & Women’s United States Championship matches, and a blockbuster triple threat main event for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
King of the Ring Finals
Oba Femi def. Jey Uso
Jey Uso came out firing, but Oba Femi’s overwhelming power quickly became the story of the match. Despite Uso landing multiple superkicks, a spear, and consecutive Uso Splashes, the powerhouse refused to stay down.
Femi weathered the storm before taking control late, connecting with a devastating powerbomb and following it up with Fall From Grace to secure the victory.
Winner: Oba Femi via pinfall (Fall From Grace)
With the win, Femi becomes the 2026 King of the Ring and earns a world title opportunity at SummerSlam.
Following the match, Femi declared that Jey Uso wasn’t fighting just one man—he was fighting fate and destiny. The newly crowned King celebrated with the Riyadh crowd as chants of “Oba!” echoed throughout the arena.
Danhausen and Liv Morgan Segment
Danhausen appeared before the crowd and greeted “Riyadhausen,” joking about his recent financial success.
His celebration was interrupted by Liv Morgan, who demanded repayment of money she claimed was owed to The Judgment Day. Danhausen responded by attempting to curse Morgan, only to be slapped across the face before Liv headed to the ring.
Queen of the Ring Finals
IYO SKY def. Liv Morgan
The Queen of the Ring final saw Liv Morgan target IYO SKY’s knee throughout the match. Morgan repeatedly attacked the leg, nearly forcing a submission victory with a half-crab after SKY suffered an awkward landing on the floor.
Despite the injury, SKY refused to quit. After surviving a late assault from Morgan, the former Women’s Champion rallied with a Spanish Fly from the top rope before finishing things with her signature moonsault.
Winner: IYO SKY via pinfall (Moonsault)
IYO SKY is officially the 2026 Queen of the Ring and earns a championship match at SummerSlam.
Afterward, SKY announced her intention to challenge for the WWE Women’s World Championship at SummerSlam.
Steel Cage Match
Seth Rollins def. Bron Breakker
Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker engaged in a brutal Steel Cage Match that featured kendo sticks, steel chairs, a table, and plenty of punishment.
Breakker’s power was on full display as he repeatedly launched Rollins into the cage walls and delivered a breathtaking avalanche Frankensteiner onto a pile of steel chairs. However, Rollins continually found ways to survive.
The match reached another level when Rollins delivered a superplex from the top of the cage through a table. Despite blood pouring from Breakker’s face and multiple finishing attempts, neither man stayed down.
In the end, Rollins connected with an avalanche Blackout from the second rope to finally put Breakker away.
Winner: Seth Rollins via pinfall (Avalanche Blackout)
WWE Men’s United States Championship
Trick Williams (c) def. Ricky Saints
Ricky Saints attacked Trick Williams before the opening bell, looking to gain an early advantage in his championship opportunity.
The contest remained competitive throughout, with Saints nearly scoring the upset after several close near falls and a tornado DDT.
Williams ultimately regained control and landed the Trick Shot to retain his championship.
Winner: Trick Williams via pinfall (Trick Shot)
After the match, Lil Yachty returned to ringside armed with a kendo stick and attacked Saints. The segment concluded with Yachty delivering a People’s Elbow to the delight of the crowd.
WWE Women’s United States Championship
Tiffany Stratton (c) def. Jade Cargill
Tiffany Stratton survived a chaotic title defense against Jade Cargill thanks to a series of outside distractions.
Cargill appeared to have the match in hand despite interference from B-FAB, Michin, and Chelsea Green. However, the biggest surprise came when Charlotte Flair emerged and struck Cargill with the championship belt while the referee was distracted.
Stratton capitalized on the opening and connected with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever to retain her title.
Winner: Tiffany Stratton via pinfall (Prettiest Moonsault Ever)
Undisputed WWE Championship
Sami Zayn def. Cody Rhodes (c) and GUNTHER
The main event featured Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against both GUNTHER and Sami Zayn in a high-stakes triple threat match.
All three competitors had moments where victory seemed inevitable. Rhodes landed multiple Cross Rhodes attempts, GUNTHER dominated stretches of the bout with his power and submissions, and Zayn repeatedly came within inches of winning after landing the Blue Thunder Bomb and Helluva Kick.
The match spilled outside the ring several times, including a sequence where Rhodes back body dropped Zayn through the American announce table and GUNTHER powerbombed Rhodes through the Arabic announce desk.
Late in the match, GUNTHER trapped Rhodes in the Gojira Clutch, only for Zayn to intervene. After a frantic closing sequence that saw all three men exchange finishing maneuvers, Rhodes attempted another Cross Rhodes on Zayn.
Instead, Zayn countered with a surprise victory roll and scored the three-count.
