Which Superstars Were Crowned at Night of Champions 2026?
The superstars of Raw and SmackDown made their way to Saudi Arabia to compete at Night of Champions 2026. The finals of the King and Queen Tournaments reached their conclusion, while three championship titles were on the line, and a rivalry reached its endgame. With SummerSlam 2026 quickly approaching, this show would help shape the card for the biggest party of the summer. Who walked away with gold and with a crown on their head?
Oba Femi vs. Jey Uso in the King of the Ring Final
He might be known as ‘The Ruler’, but you can now call him King Oba Femi. From the beginning of the match, Jey Uso was at a clear disadvantage in terms of strength, but that didn’t stop him from trying to outsmart Femi. Despite multiple Uso Slashes and even locking in a sleeper hold, ‘The Ruler’ was still too much for Uso to handle. After throwing Uso across the ring and delivering a Fall From Grace, Femi got the pin and became the 25th King of the Ring. He will now have to decide whether to challenge for the Undisputed WWE Championship or World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2026.
Result: Femi wins
Liv Morgan vs. Iyo Sky in the Queen of the Ring Final
If there’s one thing we’ve learned over time, it’s that you never get on Danhausen’s bad side, and Liv Morgan found out the hard way. As Danhausen was cutting a promo, Morgan interrupted him and demanded that he return the money Judgment Day gave him. Danhausen instead decided to curse Morgan. She and Iyo Sky put on a great match, but with the curse in effect, it was always going to be Sky walking away with the victory. Sky becomes the fourth Queen of the Ring, and after the match, she announced that she would go after Morgan’s world title.
Result: Sky wins
Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker in a Steel Cage Match
A steel cage match with only one attempt at escaping the cage certainly made this a memorable match. Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker used everything at their disposal to hurt each other, from steel chairs and kendo sticks to tables. Both men brutally traded blows as their rivalry would finally come to an end. A bloodied Breakker was unable to end the match even after delivering a spear. With whatever energy he had left in his body, Rollins was able to turn it around and deliver a Curb Stomp from the second rope to put Breakker down and put an end to their feud once and for all.
Result: Rollins wins
Trick Williams vs. Ricky Saints for the United States Championship
Although their feud started in NXT, the chemistry between Trick Williams and Ricky Saints has remained strong. Saints made sure to get Lil Yachty ejected from the ringside as early as possible to get an edge over Williams. This tactic wouldn’t work, however, as Williams had Saints scouted and was able to maintain his rhythm throughout the match. Williams finished the match with a Trick Shot to successfully retain the title and pick up his first win over Saints.
Result: Williams retains
Tiffany Stratton vs. Jade Cargill for the Women’s United States Championship
Jade Cargill’s demons were always going to come back to haunt her down the line. Even with the numbers advantage against Tiffany Stratton, help was on the way for ‘Tiffy Time’ to prevent any shenanigans from happening. Chelsea Green made her appearance first to take out B-FAB and Michin. Then, when Cargill looked to use the championship belt on Stratton, Charlotte Flair appeared and grabbed the belt, then used it on Cargill to help Stratton retain.
Result: Stratton retained
Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther vs. Sami Zayn for the Undisputed WWE Championship
Over 11 years after making his way to the main roster, Sami Zayn has finally reached the top of the mountain. ‘The Last Real Good Guy’ had failed to capture the world title in his previous nine attempts, but this night would prove to be different. All three men gave it their all and even aided each other in order to keep the match going. After delivering a Cross Rhodes on both Sami Zayn and Gunther, Cody Rhodes attempted to connect with another finisher on Zayn, only for the move to be reversed into a roll up as Zayn pinned ‘The American Nightmare’ to get the win and capture his first world title on the main roster. Zayn has finally accomplished what he dreamed of winning one day.
Result: Zayn becomes the new Undisputed WWE Champion
