WWE Night of Champions 2025, predictions and storylines

  • Street Fight Match: Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez
  • Single Match: Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross
  • WWE United States Championship Match: Jacob Fatu (c) vs. Solo Sikoa
  • Queen of the Ring Final: Asuka vs. Jade Cargill
  • King of the Ring Final: Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton
  • WWE Championship Match: John Cena (c) vs. CM Punk

Emanating from Riyadh's Kingdom Arena, WWE Night of Champions 2025 is a hugely anticipated Premium Live Event, with several matches capable of stealing the show.

In the main event, John Cena defends his WWE Championship against CM Punk, with these long-time rivals reigniting their disdain for one another in a first one-on-one match between the two since 2013. With Cena promising to ruin wrestling by retiring at the end of the year with the WWE Title still in his grasp, the Second City Saint is the latest in line to attempt to stop Big Match John's wish from becoming a reality.

Away from the WWE Championship contest, two other big talking points heading into Night of Champions are the Queen of the Ring and the King of the Ring, both of which see their finals taking place in Saudi Arabia. For the Queen of the Ring, Jade Cargill picked up a win over Roxanne Perez on this week's Raw to cement herself a spot against Asuka, who herself was victorious over Alexa Bliss to get her place in the tourney final. Where the King of the Ring is concerned, close friends and former Legacy running buddies Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton face off, with this a match many fans have dreamed of since Rhodes returned to WWE in 2022. And with a shot at the WWE Championship at SummerSlam on offer for the winner, these two are sure to leave their friendship at the door at Night of Champions.

Speaking of leaving friendships at the door, the relationship between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu finally exploded at WWE Money in the Bank earlier this month. So much so, Fatu now finds himself defending his United States Championship against Solo at WWE Night of Champions 2025. With the prospect of interference from JC Mateo and potentially other family members, will the Samoan Werewolf be able to walk out of Saudi Arabia the same way he walked in, as US Champion?

A match only announced on this week's Raw, the issues between Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez come to a head at Night of Champions, with Mami demanding a street fight against Raquel at this latest PLE. Of course, this comes hot on the heels of Raquel putting Ripley through a table on Monday night, which itself came on the back of both women costing the other in their respective Queen of the Ring qualifying matches.

Rounding out the Night of Champions card, Karrion Kross has one of the biggest matches of his WWE career as he steps into the ring with the ever-great, ever-adored Sami Zayn. Given how Kross and his fans have constantly pushed for him to be given more opportunities in recent months, this could well be a make-or-break bout for Doomsday. He's asked to be handed the ball, and now it's Karrion's time to run with it. And in Sami Zayn, he couldn't ask for a better dance partner.
