Coming off the heels of a red-hot Friday Night SmackDown, WWE kept the momentum roaring as the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia played host to a truly monumental Night of Champions Premium Live Event. With gold on the line and legacies at stake, the evening delivered on every front—crowning royalty, unveiling new alliances, and redefining the championship landscape. In the finals of the 2025 King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, The American Nightmare finally fulfilled destiny as all Rhodes led to the throne, with Cody Rhodes overcoming adversity to claim the crown he once only dreamed of. Now, with royalty secured, his sights return to the man who shattered his championship reign at WrestleMania 41: the self-proclaimed savior and scourge of pro wrestling, John Cena. Meanwhile, the skies darkened and the ring shook as Jade Cargill, The Storm, defied the odds and dethroned The Empress of Tomorrow Asuka to become Queen of the Ring. But while her victory earns her a SummerSlam title shot against WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton, the danger may not be over—with her former Big 3 ally, the newly unhinged Naomi, waiting in the shadows as Ms. Money in the Bank.
The night also saw a seismic shift in the United States Championship scene as Solo Sikoa, flanked by the returning Tanga Loa and the monstrous debuting Hikuleo, took down his cousin Jacob Fatu in a shocking title heist that sent shockwaves through the Bloodline. And in a chaotic, emotionally charged main event, with chaos swirling ringside and Seth Rollins lurking with the Money in the Bank briefcase, John Cena somehow emerged victorious once again—capitalizing on a perfectly placed stomp from Rollins to steal the pin and slip out of the arena before anyone could question how. It was a night of coronations, betrayals, giants, storms, and one constant: in WWE, the game keeps changing—and no one is safe.
But with a newly crowned King and Queen, championship chaos, and a storm of contenders building momentum, how will all of this upheaval reshape the road to the first-ever two-night SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium?
