Updated WWE Night of Champions Card Expanded with Two Fresh Bouts Included
Get ready for a thrilling Night of Champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia! Here are a couple of new matches that might spice up the premium live event scheduled for June 28.
Prepare for a downright brutal Street Fight between Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez. Expect some shoot-from-the-hip Judgment Day storyline tie-ins, possibly reminiscent of the underrated WrestleMania 41 classic between Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest. Both competitors will undoubtedly be vying to put on an unforgettable show, especially with Liv Morgan sidelined due to injury. This could mean a promising second chance for Rodriguez to boost her singles push.
If WWE is serious about catapulting Karrion Kross into the limelight, a singles match against Sami Zayn seems fair. After building momentum all year long, Kross is finally due for some long-overdue attention. Expect intense, mind-blowing action, as Kross's mysterious creep-factor has been hypnotizing audiences since WrestleMania season. Given Zayn's knack for creating memorable moments, and his character needing a fresh spark, this confrontation could catapult both performers to new heights.
Assuming the card continues along the same lines as the revised event, the current line-up would look like this:
- WWE Championship: John Cena (c) vs. CM Punk
- King of the Ring Tournament Final: Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes
- Queen of the Ring Tournament Final: Asuka vs. Jade Cargill
- United States Championship: Jacob Fatu (c) vs. Solo Sikoa
- Street Fight: Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez
- Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross
Of course, there's always room for one more game-changer. Rumors have circulated for weeks about a potential match involving Logan Paul, although it may not materialize for this hypothetical event. Alternatively, Paul might be delayed until the build-up to SummerSlam. With SmackDown broadcasting live from Riyadh on June 23, keep your eyes peeled for some major twists and turns. Just remember, the show will air on a delay in the United States, so WWE could easily make it a no-frills go-home show before Night of Champions.
Sports enthusiasts worldwide are eagerly awaiting the WWE Night of Champions 2025, scheduled for June 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The card features a highly anticipated match between WWE legends John Cena and CM Punk for the WWE Championship, adding to the sports excitement.
