A new report provides some potential spoilers for Saturday’s WWE Night of Champions 2026 pay-per-view.
Night of Champions 2026 will be held at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the same venue as last year’s event. There are six matches on the card, including three championship bouts and the finals of the Queen of the Ring and King of the Ring tournaments.
Oba Femi and Jey Uso will face each other in the King of the Ring tournament finals, while Liv Morgan will face Iyo Sky in the Queen of the Ring finals. Both winners will receive a world title match at SummerSlam 2026. Elsewhere, Seth Rollins will face Braun Breaker in a steel cage match.
There are three title matches: Cody Rhodes vs. Sami Zayn vs. Gunther for the WWE Championship, Tiffany Stratton vs. Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s United States Championship, and Trick Williams vs. Ricky Saints for the WWE United States Championship.
Citing a source with knowledge of the creative plans for Night of Champions, WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select (h/t 411mania) reports that Rhodes, Skye and Williams are the favorites to win their respective matches.
The source said the “confidence” is that Stratton will also be victorious to retain the Women’s United States Championship, although the source is not as confident with that outcome.

At this point, it would be a huge surprise if the American Nightmare lost his WWE Championship to Zayn or Gunther. After WrestleMania 42, Rhodes and CM Punk hinted at a future match.
WWE is planning to move CM Punk smack down Following Brand’s return, there is a good chance he will face Rhodes at SummerSlam. Either way, it is extremely difficult to imagine a scenario where Rhodes loses his title this Saturday.
