WWE Night of Champions 2025 Results and Highlights (06/28): Cody Rhodes beats Randy Orton, Hikuleo debuts, John Cena retains the title and more
John Cena ends Night of Champions with a win against CM Punk
The Night of Champions is Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has been an incredible journey that fans will remember for a long, long time. The match cards for the night have been absolutely epic, with every performance showing why
WWE
is the best at what it does. From King and Queen of the Ring to that explosive Street Fighter between Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez, and finally the chaos that was the last match of the night - CM Punk vs
John Cena
. What a night!
Cody Rhodes vs
Randy Orton
- King of the Ring
The first match of the night started with the
King of the Ring
match between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton.
The Viper was once a mentor to Rhodes, showing him the ropes in WWE. A back problem became the center point of the match, and student overcame master, as at the end, the American Nightmare won the match against Orton to win King of the Ring by pinfall.
Rhea Ripley vs Raquel Rodriguez
- Street Fight
Arguably one of the best matches of the night -
Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez
looked like two powerhouses who came to give their all in a match that blew the fans out of the park. Roxanne Perez came from behind to help her stablemate, but Mami wasn't having it.
The match looked like it could go in anyone's favor until the final whistle, but Ripley finally overcame all obstacles to win it with a pinfall against friend turned foe, Raquel Rodriguez.
Sami Zayn vs Karrion Kross - Singles match
Sami Zayn and Karrion Kross
started the match with a bang. Kross kept teasing his opponent, trying to get him mad and lose focus. But at the end, Zayn emerged as the winner after a Helluva kick that led to him winning the segment by pinfall.
Solo Sikoa vs Jacob Fatu - WWE United States Championship
A simple match soon turned chaotic as members of
Solo Sikoa's
faction started emerging one after the other.

Where once Sikoa looked to be all alone when even his trusted Jacob Fatu left him, leading to the two going against each other, now he emerges as a leader once more. Unfortunately for Fatu, his reign as the United States Champion comes to an end after losing the title belt to Sikoa at the end of the match. His faction now also has new member in the latest WWE debutant, Hikuleo. The segment ends with Solo Sikoa winning against Jacob Fatu by pinfall.
Asuka vs Jade Cargill
- Queen of the Ring
The
Queen of the Ring
match between
Asuka
and Jade Cargill was the shortest segment of the night. The Empress of Tomorrow looked like she could be the winner a couple times, but The Storm stood her ground and emerged as the Queen of the Ring after intercepting an Empress Impact and winning the match by pinfall.
John Cena vs CM Punk - Undisputed WWE Championship
The highlight of the night that everyone was waiting for came at the very end, when CM Punk and John Cena took the center stage. Both powerhouse performers kept one-upping the other, but an injury to the referee proved to be the turning point of the match.
Seth Rollins
and his newly formed stable entered the stage alongside Paul Heyman and everyone thought he would cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase.
It was an all out chaos where no one was anyone's friend, and fans seemed bewildered. Penta shows up out of the blue, but Bron Breakker grabs him on the way to the ring. Sami Zayn came back in, but Breakker is not deterred even after a couple punches. John Cena took advantage of this chaos, throwing Rollins out of the ring and then covered Punk to win the match by pinfall. The Night of Champions comes to an end with Rollins storming off with his MITB briefcase and John Cena once again being declared the Undisputed WWE Champion.

The Fast and Furious franchise is already ready for their eleventh film to be released on the big screens. Apart from the release, the movie might come with more surprises than the previous ones, including the possible appearance of Paul Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, in the film. The American actor Vin Diesel confirmed the tentative release date with the Paul Walker news which actually spiked up the expectations of fans. Know where he spilt the tea and what exactly Vin recently attended Fuel Fest, a car enthusiast event in Pomona, California, where he was joined by his 'Fast' co-stars Tyrese Gibson and Cody Walker. During his brief appearance, the actor shared some thrilling updates with fans about what the next installment could hold. He also revealed that 'Fast 11' might release in April 2027. 'The studio said to me, 'Vin, can we please have the finale of 'Fast and Furious' [in] April 2027?'' he shared. He added with 'I said, 'Under three conditions.' First, to bring the franchise back to LA. The second, to return to car culture and street racing. And third, to reunite Dom and Brian O'Conner," he shared. How can Brian return? While it remains unclear what exactly he meant by Brian's return, considering Paul Walker tragically died in a car crash in 2013 at the age of 40, the possibility has certainly ignited excitement among the fans. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo 'Fast and Furious X,' which was released in May 2023, featured Vin Diesel, Alan Ritchson, Jason Momoa, Michelle Rodriguez, Rita Moreno, and Brie Larson.
