WWE Night of Champions 2026: 7 last-minute predictions 

We are just a few hours away from WWE Night of Champions 2026. The show will stream live from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The lineup is stacked with massive matches, and there is a chance that the company will pull some major surprises.

In this article, let’s discuss seven last-minute predictions for tonight’s show.

#7. Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman return to cost Oba Femi the King of the Ring final

Since the Clash in Italy PLE, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman have been notably absent from the Sports Entertainment juggernaut. The Beast Incarnate defeated the Ruler and scored a victory.

However, the former NXT Champion continues to call Lesnar out, hinting at a rubber match between them at SummerSlam. One of the last-minute predictions is that Brock and Heyman will return at Night of Champions to cost Oba Femi the King of the Ring finals.

This may also lead to Jey Uso becoming the crown holder. Also, it will set the stage for Femi vs. Lesnar III at the Biggest Party of the Summer.

#6. Zilla Fatu debuts in WWE

For a long time, the WWE Universe has been anticipating Zilla Fatu’s debut. A few hours before, a report revealed that WWE is currently set to sign the real-life Bloodline member.

This means that Zilla is on the horizon to make his debut in the Stamford-based promotion. Jey Uso indeed needs some help at Night of Champions to defeat Oba Femi. So, it will not be a surprise if Zilla debuts at WWE Night of Champions, helping the YEET Master to defeat the Ruler.

Following this, he may eventually join The Bloodline group on RAW.

#5. Trick Williams loses the United States Title

Trick Williams and Ricky Saints will lock horns in a United States title match at the Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, show. Since making his main roster debut, Ricky has been part of some decent storylines and matches.

However, if the Triple H creative regime wants to push Ricky as the mid-card talent, he might dethrone Trick Williams and become the new US Champion. This will allow the company to shake the mid-card division on SmackDown.

#4. Gunther becomes the Undisputed WWE Champion

Gunther has already failed twice to become the Undisputed WWE Champion. The Ring General is getting a third opportunity at Night of Champions. Meanwhile, this time, he doesn’t have to pin the American Nightmare to get the title.

Considering that the former Imperium Leader has already retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, WWE is likely to crown him as the new title holder. The former World Heavyweight Champion might pin Sami Zayn to become the title holder and revive his momentum at NOC.

#3. Charlotte Flair costs Jade Cargill her Women’s United States Championship match

Jade Cargill will compete with Tiffany Stratton in a Women’s US title match. The Storm attacked Charlotte Flair on last week’s SmackDown before her high-profile match against Liv Morgan in the semi-finals of Queen of the Ring.

Charlotte has already arrived in Riyadh. Seeking revenge for the attack, Flair might cost Jade Cargill at Night of Champions, helping Tiffy Time to retain the gold. This might lead to a match between Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill at SummerSlam.

#2. Roxanne Perez costs Liv Morgan the Queen of the Ring final

Over the past few months, WWE has been teasing tensions between Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez. During a recent episode of RAW, Morgan ignored Perez, and Roxi was visibly unhappy with this behavior.

In tonight’s Premium Live event, the 24-year-old star might finally snap and cost the Women’s World Champion the Queen of the Ring finals. If this happens, it would end Roxanne’s tenure as the Judgment Day member.

#1. Bronson Reed helps Bron Breakker beat Seth Rollins

Due to a real-life injury, Bronson Reed is absent from WWE television. However, at Night of Champions, the Tsunami might return to help Bron Breakker against Seth Rollins.

For those unaware, the new Big Dog is set to compete in a Steel cage match with the Visionary. Logan Paul is already injured, and The Vision needs some backup on their side to deal with the Architect.

Considering this, Night of Champions might witness Bronson Reed’s WWE return. The former NXT North American Champion will assist Breakker in defeating Seth Rollins.
