A new King and Queen of the Ring will be crowned and more at WWE Night of Champions 2026, which will air live from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on June 27.
A rare 6-match Premium Live Event will see the finals of the 2026 tournament take place, along with 4 title matches. Following a controversial ending to the WWE Championship match on the June 19 SmackDown, Cody Rhodes will put his title on the line against Gunther and Sami Zayn in a triple threat match.
In the King and Queen of the Ring finals, Oba Femi will face Jey Uso and Liv Morgan will face IYO SKY.
WWE Night Of Champions 2026 Predictions:
Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker – Steel Cage Match
While this feud should have ended weeks ago, the result should still remain the same. Breakker needs the big win to continue his momentum. The second-generation star needs another World Title match before the year comes to a close, and Rollins gains nothing from picking up the win. While the steel cage is supposed to prevent interference, it is obvious that The Vision and possibly The Street Profits will get involved. The only way that Rollins could win is that Breakker spears his former mentor so hard that Rollins goes flying through the cage and onto the floor.
Winner: Bron Breakker
Trick Williams (c) vs. Ricky Saints For The United States Championship
There is no denying that Williams is insanely over right now with the WWE fans. Still early into his title reign, it doesn’t make sense for Williams to drop the title just yet, especially as a 3-way involving Carmelo Hayes looks set for down the road. Expect Williams to win this one.
Winner: Trick Williams
Oba Femi vs. Jey Uso – King Of The Ring Final
Much like Rollins vs. Breakker, there is really only one result that should take place here. Femi is one of the biggest rising stars WWE has had in years and they NEED to capitalise on this momentum. With goodwill towards WWE at a low point, having Jey Uso win again could alienate a large portion of the fanbase. Additionally, Femi needs this after losing to Lesnar at Clash in Italy. Uso does have history with all 3 wrestlers in the WWE Championship match, but that can be set up organically. Plus, Femi vs. Roman Reigns is a marquee match that many will tune into SummerSlam to see.
Winner: Oba Femi
Liv Morgan vs. IYO SKY – Queen Of The Ring Final
All signs point to SKY picking up the win here. If SKY wins, she has a viable case to go after both championships. Beating Morgan in the final, SKY will already have a win over the Women’s World Champion. However, SKY may also be given the opportunity to face Rhea Ripley one more time. With both having history and Ripley being unable to beat SKY, this would be another marquee SummerSlam clash.
Winner: IYO SKY
Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Jade Cargill For The Women’s United States Championship
If a title will change hands on the show, it will be this one. Cargill attacked Charlotte Flair before her Queen of the Ring match, and there have been rumours that Flair and Cargill could face off at SummerSlam. With that being said, adding a title to the match would raise the stakes and give some credibility back to Cargill after losing the Women’s Championship. With Rhea Ripley sidelined until further notice, this could be the top Women’s Title on SmackDown for the time being. While this will cut Stratton’s title reign short, Cargill being champion makes the most sense.
Winner: Jade Cargill
Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Gunther vs. Sami Zayn For The WWE Championship
While mathematically Rhodes is at a disadvantage here, in reality the triple threat match is here so that Sami Zayn can take the pin. Rhodes is not losing the title until SummerSlam at the earliest. This could be the show where Orton comes back to set up their rematch, but don’t expect Gunther or Zayn to be the winner here.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
