WWE Night of Champions 2025 delivered an unforgettable evening of action, drama, and monumental shifts in the company’s landscape. Held in Riyadh, the event showcased six high-stakes matches, headlined by the finals of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, a brutal Street Fight, a U.S. title clash, and a chaotic main event for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
In one of the night’s most emotional and hard-fought encounters, Cody Rhodes defeated his longtime rival Randy Orton to become the 2025 King of the Ring. The match was a strategic war, with both men digging deep into their arsenals. Orton landed a punishing RKO midway through the contest, but Rhodes recovered and delivered multiple Cross Rhodes to claim the crown. With this victory, Cody earns a guaranteed shot at a world championship at SummerSlam, continuing his march toward fulfilling his legacy.
The Queen of the Ring final saw Jade Cargill overcome former champion Asuka in a hard-hitting affair. Jade’s power and presence were on full display as she countered Asuka’s technical mastery and fierce strikes. After surviving a flurry of submissions, Cargill executed her signature "Jaded" to secure the win and her first major accolade on the main roster. She now heads into SummerSlam as a top contender in the women’s division.
The night also featured a brutal Street Fight between Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez. With no disqualifications and plenty of weapons involved, the two women tore into each other with unrelenting aggression. The match reached its violent peak when Ripley delivered an Avalanche Riptide through a table, silencing Rodriguez for the three-count. Rhea continues to cement her status as one of WWE’s most dominant forces.
In a classic clash of speed versus strength, Sami Zayn managed to defeat Karrion Kross in a match that showcased Sami’s resilience. Despite being manhandled for much of the bout and surviving the dreaded Krossjacket, Zayn found his moment late in the match to connect with a Helluva Kick for the win—reminding fans why he remains one of WWE’s most beloved underdogs.
Another title changed hands when Solo Sikoa shocked the WWE Universe by defeating Jacob Fatu to win the United States Championship. The match was chaotic, with interference from Tonga Loa, the debuting Tala Tonga, and JC Mateo playing a major role. Solo capitalized on the distraction to land a devastating Samoan Spike and claim his first singles title, setting up a new chapter in the evolving Bloodline saga.
The main event saw John Cena retain his Undisputed WWE Championship against a determined CM Punk. What started as a classic one-on-one contest quickly unraveled into mayhem, as Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and even Paul Heyman became involved. Amidst the chaos, Cena shocked the audience by using Punk’s own move—the Curb Stomp—to secure the victory and close out the show in dramatic fashion.
Night of Champions 2025 left fans buzzing with excitement and speculation. With Cody Rhodes and Jade Cargill now crowned royal winners and Solo Sikoa emerging as a new champion, WWE’s landscape is rapidly changing. As tensions rise and SummerSlam looms, the fallout from Riyadh promises to shape the company’s direction for months to come.
