Cena beats Punk to retain WWE Undisputed Championship title in chaotic showdown at ‘Night of Champions' in Riyadh
Cena beats Punk to retain WWE undisputed title in chaotic showdown at Night of Champions in Riyadh Cena victory sets stage for blockbuster SummerSlam rematch with Cody Rhodes in the US For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport In a highly anticipated bout, Cena and Punk revisited their storied rivalry with the championship on the line. But what promised to be a classic was thrown into chaos as Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Penta and Sami Zayn all made appearances, interfering throughout the match. Despite the disruptions, Cena ultimately prevailed, setting the stage for a blockbuster SummerSlam rematch with Cody Rhodes at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, US. Earlier in the night, Rhodes booked his ticket to that championship match by capturing the King of the Ring crown, defeating Randy Orton in a hard-fought tournament final. It was the second consecutive year Orton fell short at this stage, while Rhodes celebrated a milestone victory and immediately declared his SummerSlam intentions. On the women's side, Jade Cargill's rise continued as she overpowered Asuka to claim the Queen of the Ring title. Cargill is now in line for a championship opportunity at SummerSlam, though the situation remains fluid with Tiffany Stratton currently holding the title, Naomi possessing the Money in the Bank contract, and the Evolution all-women's event on the horizon. The only title change of the evening saw Solo Sikoa dethrone Jacob Fatu with the help of JC Mateo, a returning Tonga Loa, and debutant Hikuleo, who made a striking first appearance in WWE after a stint in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Elsewhere on the Riyadh card, Rhea Ripley defeated Raquel Rodriguez in a street fight — a first for any WWE show in the Kingdom — while Sami Zayn earned a crowd-pleasing victory over Karrion Kross. The 11th edition of Night of Champions reaffirmed Riyadh's growing reputation as a key stop on WWE's global calendar, setting the stage for an electrifying road to SummerSlam later this summer.

IMF highlights Saudi Arabia's economic, fiscal progress
As part of the 2025 Article IV consultation with Saudi Arabia, the International Monetary Fund released a concluding statement summarizing its preliminary findings following the recent mission to the Kingdom. The IMF commended the significant progress in Saudi Arabia's ambitious economic transformation, highlighting the impact of far-reaching fiscal and macroeconomic policies, along with comprehensive reforms to fiscal and business regulations, which have driven strong growth in the non-oil sector. It emphasized the Kingdom's strong economic and financial position, supported by the continued success of its economic plans and fiscal policies in maintaining financial stability and fostering growth — despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, trade disruptions, and global uncertainty. The IMF also highlighted that Saudi Arabia's economy has demonstrated strong resilience to shocks, with expanding non-oil economic activities, contained inflation, and unemployment at record-low levels. Although lower oil revenues and investment-related imports have resulted in twin deficits, external and fiscal buffers remain strong. Maintaining a higher-than-budgeted fiscal stance in 2025 is appropriate to avoid procyclical tightening that could amplify the growth impact of lower oil prices. Managing robust credit growth and resulting funding pressures will be critical to safeguarding systemic financial stability. Given heightened global uncertainty, sustained momentum on structural reforms remains essential to support non-oil growth and advance economic diversification. The IMF's statement noted that non-oil real gross domestic product grew by 4.2 percent in 2024, primarily driven by private consumption and non-oil private investment, with retail, hospitality, and construction leading the growth. The labor market maintained strong momentum, driving unemployment to a historic low of 7 percent in 2024, surpassing the original Vision 2030 target, which has since been revised down to 5 percent. The labor market showed broad-based improvements, with youth and female unemployment rates halving over the past four years. Despite a slight rise to 2.3 percent in April 2025, headline inflation remains low, supported by elevated real interest rates. The current account shifted to a narrow deficit, moving from a surplus of 2.9 percent of GDP in 2023 to a deficit of 0.5 percent in 2024. This mainly reflects a decline in oil export proceeds, higher imports of machinery and equipment, and stronger remittance outflows — factors that more than offset a surge in tourism inflows. The current account deficit has been financed through external borrowing and reduced FX asset accumulation. As a result, the Saudi Central Bank's net foreign asset holdings stabilized at $415 billion by end-2024 — equivalent to 15 months of imports and 187 percent of the IMF's reserve adequacy metric. Regarding the Kingdom's economic outlook and risks, the IMF highlighted that robust domestic demand, including government-led projects, will continue to drive growth despite heightened global uncertainty and a weakened commodity price outlook. Non-oil real GDP growth is projected at 3.4 percent in 2025, about 0.8 percentage points lower than in 2024. This reflects ongoing Vision 2030 projects through public and private investment, as well as strong credit growth, which will help sustain domestic demand and mitigate the impact of lower oil prices. The direct impact of rising global trade tensions is limited, as oil products — making up 78 percent of Saudi Arabia's goods exports to the US in 2024 — are exempt from US tariffs, while non-oil exports to the US account for only 3.4 percent of Saudi Arabia's total non-oil exports. Inflation is expected to remain anchored around 2 percent, supported by a credible peg to the US dollar, domestic subsidies, and an elastic supply of expatriate labor, despite a projected moderate positive output gap over the medium term. Imported inflation from increased tariffs worldwide is expected to remain contained. Weaker oil demand, driven by heightened uncertainty, escalating global trade tensions, and deepening geoeconomic fragmentation, could dampen oil proceeds. I believe the IMF has recognized the unprecedented economic transformation underway in Saudi Arabia, praising the country's strong financial resources and the significant reforms implemented across various sectors, including public finance. It also highlighted the Kingdom's strong economic and financial position, supported by steady economic gains and sound fiscal strategies designed to preserve stability amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, trade disruptions, and global uncertainty. Despite public debt reaching 26.2 percent of GDP, the IMF noted it remains low by international standards, reflecting the Kingdom's solid fiscal performance and preparedness for potential future shocks. Recent investment initiatives — including the regulation enacted in February 2025 — are set to significantly enhance market liquidity and broaden shareholder participation in Saudi capital markets. In conclusion, I believe these economic and financial achievements highlighted in the IMF's preliminary findings underscore the far-reaching impact of ongoing reforms, reaffirming Saudi Arabia's sustained progress in expanding opportunities for its citizens and bolstering long-term economic resilience. • Talat Zaki Hafiz is an economist and financial analyst.

Jeddah exhibition gives internet cafes an artistic reboot
JEDDAH: Internet cafes in Jeddah were once popular spots with pay-by-the-hour internet access; they have now provided the inspiration for the city's latest exhibition. In a collaboration between Kham Space and Estiraha, 17 artists and collectives have had their work on display at 'Internet Cafe,' an eight-day exhibition which explored the concept of connection and intimacy in the digital age. Abeer Sultan, who curated the exhibition alongside Mbarak Madhi and Fai Ahmed, spoke to Arab News about the early process in contemplating the theme. The idea for the exhibition, which concluded on Friday, stemmed from an exasperation over incessant scrolling, and the deluge of information that has usurped our daily lives. • The idea for the Jeddah exhibition stemmed from an exasperation over incessant scrolling, and the deluge of information that has usurped our daily lives. • Some of the works were meant to act as 'hyperlinks' to connect ideas, as well as creating a communal space and mimicking the social space of a cafe. She said: 'We wanted to do something that is about us now, and maybe the future as well; not only going back to things for nostalgia or the good old days, as they say. 'Maybe it has something that we can use today, especially now that there's a movement of people trying to slow down, using dumbified devices throughout the internet.' Instead of creating a literal internet cafe, the curators focused more on the nuances a cybercafe used to have. Their approach to the space was categorized into three themes: 'Disconnected Understanding, Linked Source,' 'In the Shadow of a Doubt, Light My Screen,' and 'Whirling Algorithms of a Distant Dream.' Artist Zahiyah Alraddadi, who usually paints works focusing on the significance of the mundane, took oil to canvas to paint 'Closed Eyes Under a Sunny Sky I' and 'Familiar Features.' Her work feels meditative and was intended to slow visitors down as they walked through the space — much like the feel of a buffering screen page. Some of the works were meant to act as 'hyperlinks' to connect ideas, as well as creating a communal space and mimicking the social space of a cafe. Anhar Salem's work 'After Now' was a curtain imprinted with thumbnails of YouTube videos. The artist conducted a survey asking people between the ages of 18 and 40 to share their YouTube video recommendations, making up a curtain of information overload. Next to that, Tara O‛Conal's video installation was a film sequence — but the catch is, nothing really happened. The film continued to load, glitch, and reload, perhaps suggesting commentary on our constant yearning for contact. 'Compared to Anhar's work, (Tara's) feels like a pawn, in a way, to look at,' Sultan said. Some works were inspired by computer graphics. Asaad Badawi paid tribute to early programmer culture via telephone-book-inspired art, and his father, who is a programmer. Studio bin Hattan, which is led by artist Elham Dawsari, displayed 'Cultural Override,' derived from her father's archives from the 1980s. Madhawi Al-Gwaiz paints in a style that echoes digital graphics from the early 2000s. Others took a more distanced approach. ThirdSpace's 'Untitled Table' was a physical object, but the research behind it was about keyboards that then shifted to Hijazi architecture, drawing on the iconography and architectural languages across the history of the region. Hayfa Al-Gwaiz's 'Long Distance' was a painted form of facetime video calls. The work explored digital intimacy by showcasing not the callers' faces, but the ceilings above them — a scene that's familiar to anyone who has taken up a long-winded video call with a loved one and set down the phone to cater to life's more immediate demands. While the exhibition tackled the digital boom personified through cybercafes, it notably avoided artificial intelligence. Sultan explained: 'It is the idea of being fast and efficient, which is what we are resisting with AI … It's dominating the internet in a weird way, and we wanted a space where people customized things manually, going back to montadayat (domains) where people had to do things by themselves. There's no template.' The last piece was by Ahaad Alamoudi, and 'Land of Dreams' took a humorous approach to directing audiences to their dreams. As you walked toward the work, in an outdoor area outside the confines of the exhibition space, visitors were met with foam boards of the iconic Emirati singer Ahlam. Sultan said: 'The work accentuates the fact that the dream land is a subjective experience or idea, and everyone would have their own imagination of what that is, whether it's Ahlam or something else.' The 'Internet Cafe' was a love letter to a new digital age — one that is sustainable, communal, and deliberately slow. 'This is our way of keeping in touch with other people. An exhibition space is also a space where people meet, even if it's for a moment, to have these conversations together, which is really important,' Sultan said.
