Full breakdown of every Night of Champions 2026 winner below — and how each one got there.
King of the Ring Final: Oba Femi def. Jey Uso
Result: Oba Femi def. Jey Uso via pinfall — 2026 King of the Ring
Oba Femi opened Night of Champions and made good on everything he has said since the tournament began. Jey Uso, sent to Riyadh by Roman Reigns with instructions to win and challenge Cody Rhodes, brought the fight from the first bell — a tope suicida rocked Femi and Jey’s strikes had the crowd alive. But Femi’s power was the deciding factor. He withstood everything Jey threw at him and won with the Fall From Grace to become the 25th King of the Ring in WWE history.
Femi now has a World Title shot at SummerSlam as the Night of Champions 2026 winner of the King of the Ring, and can choose between the Undisputed WWE Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship. The full tournament path is in the King of the Ring 2026 tournament bracket.
Queen of the Ring Final: IYO SKY def. Liv Morgan
Result: IYO SKY def. Liv Morgan via pinfall — 2026 Queen of the Ring
Before the match, Danhausen appeared at ringside. He and Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan had words — Morgan got in his face, Danhausen delivered the curse, and the crowd immediately knew what was coming. IYO SKY fought through a knee injury throughout, but the curse appeared to do its work on Morgan’s rhythm. SKY rolled herself into a cover and picked up the pin to become the 2026 Queen of the Ring.
After the match, SKY grabbed a microphone and addressed Morgan directly: “I’ll see you at SummerSlam.” IYO SKY vs Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship at SummerSlam is now official.
Steel Cage Match: Seth Rollins def. Bron Breakker
Result: Seth Rollins def. Bron Breakker via pinfall
The WWE Night of Champions 2026 results delivered their most violent chapter in the steel cage. Both men came loaded. Rollins slid two tables, multiple steel chairs, a trash can, and a kendo stick into the cage. Breakker matched him with his own arsenal. They took their seats on opposite sides of the cage and stared each other down before the bell. The match that followed was violent and deliberate — Breakker drove Rollins into the cage repeatedly, hit a Gorilla Press into the steel, and opened up before a superplex off the top of the cage. Rollins delivered the Super Stomp from the top rope and pinned Breakker to end the feud. The Vision is finished.
WWE United States Championship: Trick Williams def. Ricky Saints
Result: Trick Williams (c) def. Ricky Saints via pinfall — title retained
Williams walked in as a married man and walked out still a champion. Saints, making his first main roster championship opportunity, pushed Williams harder than expected and showed enough to suggest he has a future in the upper card. Lil Yachty was at ringside throughout. After the match, Saints looked to attack but Yachty ran out, landed kendo stick shots on Saints, and then dropped the People’s Elbow to a thunderous pop from Riyadh.
Women’s US Championship: Tiffany Stratton def. Jade Cargill
Result: Tiffany Stratton (c) def. Jade Cargill via pinfall — title retained
The interference was heavy on both sides. B-Fab and Michin came out to turn the tide for Cargill after Stratton had mounted a comeback, including a counter to the pop-up powerbomb. Chelsea Green evened the odds by appearing from under the ring to neutralise Cargill’s Baddies. With the referee occupied, Cargill grabbed the Women’s US Title belt to use as a weapon. Charlotte Flair appeared at ringside, took the belt from Cargill, and hit Cargill with it. Stratton capitalised and retained. Flair’s involvement makes the SummerSlam picture for Stratton very clear.
Undisputed WWE Championship: Sami Zayn def. Cody Rhodes & Gunther
Result: Sami Zayn def. Cody Rhodes (c) and Gunther via pinfall — NEW UNDISPUTED WWE CHAMPION
The Sami Zayn Night of Champions main event delivered every bit of what the build promised and then ripped the script apart at the end. Nearly twenty minutes of three-way storytelling — Gunther’s powerbombs, Rhodes’ Cross-Rhodes attempts, Zayn’s Helluva Kicks landing on both opponents — built to a moment the Riyadh crowd will not forget.
The dramatic conclusion: Zayn landed the Helluva Kick on Gunther and was about to realise a decade of fighting when Cody Rhodes pulled the referee to the floor. What followed were the final desperate scrambles of three men who all believed they deserved it. When the dust settled it was Zayn with the pin on Rhodes — and Sami Zayn at Night of Champions wrote the most unlikely ending to a Saudi Arabia PLE in years.
After the match, Gunther stormed over to SmackDown GM Nick Aldis and got in his face, accusing him of favouritism and calling him a failed wrestler. A new subplot has begun.
The full context for the title feud lives at the Cody Rhodes vs Gunther rivalry.
