BREAKING: New WWE King Of The Ring Crowned, Roman Reigns In Danger
WWE Night of Champions aired live from the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, tonight as the 12th edition of the Premium Live Event featured some of the promotion’s top stars in action.
A packed night of action is in store for the WWE Universe with multiple titles set to be defended on the show, in addition to the finals of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments.
The night began with the King of Ring finals, which saw Main Event Jey Uso take on The Ruler, Oba Femi. Both men overcame huge obstacles to reach the finals and are looking to win the crown to earn a World Title shot at SummerSlam.

Jey tried to get the match underway on the front foot, but he proved no match for Oba, who took the fight to Jey Uso. The former World Champion tried to build some momentum after shoving Oba into the ring post, but Oba powered through.
He then continued his assault on Uso, but he didn’t give up and looked to get back into the match at every possible juncture. Jey reversed a Fall from Grace attempt and hit a Uso Splash from nowhere, but Oba kicked out even before a one count.

Jey countered with a couple of Spears to Oba and followed it with two consecutive Uso Splashes, but Femi kicked out at two. Jey then tried to tap Oba out with a Sleeper Hold, but The Ruler came back with two running European Uppercuts.
Obe Femi then picked Jey up in the air and hit a Fall from Grace to the Right Hand Man and pinned him clean to pick up the win and become the 2026 King of the Ring.
