WWE's 'Night of Champions' Wraps Up in Riyadh with Electrifying Matches, Shocking Moments
WWE's highly anticipated Night of Champions came to a thrilling close Saturday night at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, as part of the grand Riyadh Season festivities. The event delivered six high-stakes matchups, featuring title clashes, surprise appearances, and defining moments for WWE superstars — all in front of a packed arena and a global audience. The night kicked off with the King of the Ring final, showcasing a generational showdown between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. The match lived up to the hype, with both competitors displaying signature techniques and deep in-ring psychology. Orton attempted to remove a turnbuckle pad to gain an edge, but the plan backfired as he struck the exposed steel himself. Seizing the moment, Rhodes hit Cross Rhodes to claim victory — and with it, a guaranteed title shot at SummerSlam. Street Fight Next came a brutal Street Fight between Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez. Additionally, the no-holds-barred brawl spilled outside the ring and saw Ripley deliver a devastating Riptide from a table set on the ropes to secure the win. In a crowd-pleasing third match, fan-favorite Sami Zayn took on the intimidating Karrion Kross in a non-title contest. Despite Kross dominating much of the bout, Zayn pulled off a stunning comeback, scoring a hard-earned victory to the delight of fans. The United States Championship match between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa brought raw intensity and explosive power. As Sikoa tried to slow Fatu's momentum, outside interference from J.C. Matteo briefly tipped the scales. But it was the shocking debut of Hikuleo that proved decisive — his chokeslam through the announcers' table left Fatu vulnerable, allowing Sikoa to finish the match with a Samoan Spike for the pinfall and the title. Queen of the Ring In the Queen of the Ring final, Asuka and Jade Cargill battled in a fierce contest of styles and strength. After a hard-fought clash, Cargill emerged victorious, solidifying her rising status in the women's division. The night concluded with a blockbuster main event for the Undisputed WWE Championship as longtime rivals John Cena and CM Punk reignited their storied feud. Moreover, the match was chaotic, with multiple wrestlers interfering throughout. Ultimately, Cena retained his title thanks to a timely assist from Seth Rollins, who disrupted Punk's offensive surge and tipped the balance in Cena's favor. Finally, Night of Champions delivered drama, surprises, and unforgettable moments — a fitting showcase for WWE's global spectacle in the heart of Riyadh.

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.
