WWE Night Of Champions 2026 Card

- Steel Cage Match: Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker

- United States Championship Match: Trick Williams (c) vs. Ricky Saints or Carmelo Hayes

- Queen of the Ring Final: IYO SKY vs. Charlotte Flair or Liv Morgan

- King of the Ring Final: Oba Femi vs. Jey Uso or Je'Von Evans

Saturday, June 27th sees WWE return to Saudi Arabia with Night of Champions 2026.

As of this writing, there are four matches locked in for this PLE, with it also likely that WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will be in action. For the American Nightmare, he defends his title against Gunther on SmackDown this week, with Sami Zayn serving as the special guest referee. However that match pans out, expect Cody to lace up his boots at Night of Champions, particularly as it's already been confirmed that World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns will not be making the trip to Saudi Arabia.

Of course, WWE Night of Champions 2026 will host the finals of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, with the winners of those tourneys earning themselves a World Title shot at SummerSlam. For the Queen of the Ring, IYO SKY has cemented her spot in the final, where she'll face either Charlotte Flair or Women's World Champion Liv Morgan. In the King of the Ring, Oba Femi gets the winner of Jey Uso and Je'Von Evans, all as the presence of Brock Lesnar lingers in the background.

Elsewhere, Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker's heated rivalry continues to rumble on, as these two former stablemates clash in a steel cage contest at Night of Champions. Will this really be it for this long-standing feud? Could the Vision bulk up its numbers at Night of Champions? Might this be the big return of Bronson Reed? Only time will tell.

Rounding out the WWE Night of Champions 2026 card right now, Trick Williams will put his United States Championship on the line against either Ricky Saints or Carmelo Hayes. Saints and Hayes are tied at 1-1 in their recent matches, and a third match will utlimately decide who'll be heading to Saudi Arabia to face Trick Willy. Of course, there is always the possibility that shenanigans lead to a triple-threat bout here.
