WWE Night of Champions sets the stage for SummerSlam. Undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes is set to defend his title in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of the event taking place on Saturday, June 27. The King and Queen of the Ring tournament finals also take place, with the winners challenging for world titles at the company’s next two-day spectacle, SummerSlam.The build to those matches has been quite interesting. King of the Ring sees a rising star taking on a former world heavyweight champion when Oba Femi faces Jey Uso. Both men have made their intentions clear that they plan to challenge Cody Rhodes if they win. However, Femi still has a Brock Lesnar-sized issue in his back pocket to handle as the two have traded wins in their two meetings. Uso, meanwhile, is looking to bring more gold back to the family as he and his brother Jimmy have joined back with Roman Reigns.In the women’s match, Liv Morgan has made her intentions clear that she wants to unify the two world titles as she currently holds the women’s world title. Standing in her way of doing that is Iyo Sky, the former champion looking to get back to the top of the singles scene.The expected main event sees a triple threat match for the undisputed WWE title. Rhodes has to deal with two opponents on Saturday night when he faces both Gunther and Sami Zayn. Rhodes has been at odds with Gunther for weeks and now Zayn has entered the mix. Zayn walked out on Rhodes as Gunther locked him in a sleeper hold and then served as a special guest referee for Rhodes vs. Gunther two weeks ago. He counted a pin for Rhodes in that instance but still drew the ire of “The American Nightmare” for how things have escalated. Now all three men look to settle their differences on Saturday.
