It’s the Night of Champions Countdown Show!

Join Joe Tessitore, Pete Rosenberg, and Big E on discussing, analyzing, and predicting all the action about to go down in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia!

Triple H narrates.

“It’s all around us. Buried beneath the mountains. Carried through the oceans. And somehow, a trace of it exists in us, too. Gold. Maybe that’s why we chase it. Not because of what it is, but for what it represents: Glory, purpose, the pursuit of something greater. For some, it’s a chance to belong. For others, it’s a chance to break through. As the pursuit of greatness continues, we find out what’s beneath the surface.”

And with that, The Ruler is undeniable! Nick Aldis is here to personally present Oba with the crown, and to shake his hand. Byron Saxton congratulates Oba on becoming the 2026 King of the Ring. Oba says it feel so good to go from a ruler to being the king! Jey Uso did not understand what he was up against. He thought he was just fighting one man. You might be able to beat a man, but you can’t beat fate. And you can’t beat destiny! And most importantly, you can’t beat Oba!! Because he is the Ruler, the Destroyer, the Bringer of War, the mountain you cannot climb, the mountain you cannot conquer, the Beast Slayer, the chosen one, The King of the Ring, OBA FEMI!

SummerSlam awaits, but the question is: Will Oba want the Undisputed WWE Championship? Or will he want the World Heavyweight Championship and Roman Reigns?

Danhausen is here!

“hello, Riyadhausen! It is I, Danhausen, Very Nice, Very Evil, and it is Danhausen’s first time here. And it has been quite wonderful! That’s right, Danhausen has been very excited to continue his experiments, because he has recently come into a substantial amount of human moneys. ” But then Liv makes her entrance! Danhausen asks why, and she takes the mic. “Speaking of money, you owe the Judgment Day a whole lot of money. And if you don’t find a way to get it back, a lot of bad things are gonna happen to you. Do you understand me?” Danhausen says first off, he doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

Undisputed WWE Championship Triple Threat: Cody Rhodes VS GUNTHER VS Sami Zayn!

The American Nightmare’s win in Italy had its controversy, but then so did the rematch in Kansas City, all because Der Ring General insisted The Last Real Good Guy be their special guest referee. And while Sami never asked to be in the middle, he made a mess of things, and yet it’s worked out for him. Will Sami “redeem” himself by finally becoming WWE Champion? Will Gunther have the “justice” he wants? Or will Cody still be undisputed?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is THE champion on this Night of Champions!

Will this victorious vindication be just the start of the best chapter in Sami’s career?

My Thoughts:

A great Night of Champions, and a lot of the surprises tonight were in what we didn’t get. Great KOTR finals with Oba winning over Jey, which felt rather surprising in itself, and no Brock Lesnar, also surprising. No Bloodline presence was actually good, and honestly, same for no Lesnar. Oba can still face Lesnar and go for a title, because SummerSlam is two nights. As for who Oba challenges on night two for the title, I feel like Nick Aldis being here could be foreshadowing, but maybe I’m reading too into it. Because after a great match from Iyo VS Liv, Iyo straight up says she wants Liv’s title, meaning she stays on Raw.

With that, what was the point of Danhausen cursing Liv? There was no mishap with the ring or any other technical difficulties, and honestly, Iyo was the one selling leg given her landing on the steel steps. No Judgment Day here was  also surprising, it would’ve helped if there was more tension added to the already growing dysfunction. Did they just not want to be redundant when we also got The Baddies, Chelsea and Charlotte affecting the Women’s US title match? And that whole thing went just as I’d said, Charlotte was the key factor, and now she and Jade can feud without needing a title attached to it. It was otherwise a good match, though Jade and Tiff perhaps tried to go too fast at the start, felt a little iffy.

Great Men’s US Championship match, but the placement on the card might’ve hurt it having to follow that great Steel Cage match. As I figured, Trick won, and Yachty getting to hit a move was pretty fun. Now we hopefully get Trick VS Melo for SummerSlam. Again, great Steel Cage, and commentary did a good job pointing out why there wouldn’t be any overbooking here: Bronson Reed is still recovering; Paul Heyman got speared; Austin Theory got hit with brass knuckles; and Logan Paul’s arm is in no shape to travel and that’s kinda legit. But Breakker and Rollins adding tables, chairs, and kendo sticks was a nice touch, and great win for Rollins. Just not sure what this means for either of them moving forward.

And awesome Triple Threat, and how awesome for Sami to win here. They really made it seem like things were going to slip through his fingers, like when Cody yanked the ref out or hit the two-for-one Cross Rhodes. But in the end, Sami gets a quick pin win, and that’s good enough. So for now, it’s Sami VS Oba or Roman VS Oba, but there’s also a Saturday Night’s Main Event in July before we get to SummerSlam… Well, no, they wouldn’t have that big of a title change on SNME, would they? Though, it’s also SNME in MSG…

My Score: 8.9/10
