WWE's Night of Champions lands Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on ESPN Unlimited at 1 p.m. ET. Jey Uso chases the King of the Ring crown, aiming to become the first Bloodline member to win. Victory would grant a title shot against Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes in August, both retaining. Uso already defeated LA Knight and Je'Von Evans to reach the final against Oba Femi.

Cody Rhodes defends his Undisputed WWE title in a chaotic triple‑threat against Gunther and Sami Zayn. Rhodes entered the bout after pinning Gunther at Clash in Italy, a result later overturned when Zayn, acting as guest referee, restarted the contest and then assaulted both competitors. The showdown tests Rhodes' resilience and could reshape the title picture heading into Summer Slam.

Liv Morgan, current women’s champion, skips a title defense to chase the Queen of the Ring crown against Iyo Sky. The winner earns a future shot at either champion Rhea Ripley or a second women’s title at Summer Slam. With multiple storylines converging, Night of Champions promises decisive outcomes that will directly influence the next month’s marquee events.
