WWE Night of Champions was always one of the weightiest premium live events on the promotion's calendar. While the days when every title in the company was up for grabs are over, WWE has still found a way to make it a major event. Let's talk WWE.
It appears the main event will be Cody Rhodes defending his title in a Triple Threat match against Gunther and Sami Zayn. While it would seem as though it's time for Gunther to go over and to grab the WWE championship, I wouldn't be shocked to see Zayn win his first major championship.
WWE built to the triple threat through a disputed Rhodes-Gunther finish at Clash in Italy and a SmackDown rematch where Zayn, working as guest official, inserted himself into the story. The booking gives Gunther his fourth title shot in under 30 days and hands Zayn his first world-title spot since the Royal Rumble. With SummerSlam looming, how WWE books the finish will shape both challengers' momentum heading into August.
The Riyadh card is stacked with huge names and potential surprises.
WWE announced a six-match card, one more than its usual five-bout PLE lineup. Both tournament finals carry SummerSlam stakes, and the long, bloody Rollins-Breakker program gets a steel cage finish. Here is the full announced card:
American fans will need to get an earlier start to catch Night of Champions live.
The show emanates from Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on Saturday, June 27, 2026, with a special 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT start to line up with the Saudi evening. That is hours earlier than WWE's typical PLE window, as previously detailed in the event's announcement. Fans on the West Coast will be tuning in mid-morning, so planning around the early slot helps.
NOC is available for viewing the same way all WWE PLEs are viewable.
In the U.S., that now means ESPN's streaming service, with the full card on ESPN Unlimited ($29.99 per month) in the ESPN app and the first hour also airing on ESPN cable. International viewers can stream it on Netflix in most markets, with SuperSport and Abema carrying it in Sub-Saharan Africa and Japan.
The U.S. shift to ESPN is one of the bigger distribution changes in WWE's recent history.
