Cody Rhodes Demanded This Triple Threat, and Nobody in Riyadh Is Ready For What Happens Next
Alright, Seattle, listen up, because while our Mariners are grinding, something absolutely WILD is about to go down halfway across the world! This Saturday, June 27, Night of Champions is hitting Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and the main event is pure, unadulterated chaos. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is stepping into a triple threat match, putting his title on the line against none other than Gunther and Sami Zayn. You kidding me?! Cody Rhodes *demanded* this thing because he is so desperate to get these two pests out of his hair!
The Undisputed Title Picture Is a Mess
Seriously, if you thought the tension was high, wait until you see what's happening with Cody's title. The man is caught in an absolute time loop with Gunther, who just keeps coming back for more. This isn't even the first time Gunther has challenged for the belt; it's the fourth time in less than 30 days because of all those unclear outcomes! Talk about relentless! And then there's Sami Zayn, Cody's estranged friend, who's just added to the whole crazy mess. This is Sami's first shot at a world title since the Royal Rumble, so you know he's bringing everything he's got. Cody's just trying to squash both of them at once, but this feels like a recipe for disaster. Who walks out of this triple threat with the gold?

New Royalty and Cage Fights Ahead
But wait, there's even more high-stakes drama happening! We're crowning new King and Queen of the Ring this weekend, and those winners are getting world title shots at SummerSlam, which hits on the first weekend of August. In the men's final, it's Oba Femi taking on Jey Uso. Both these dudes fought through fatal four-way matches and then a singles match to get here, beating Dominik Mysterio and Je'Von Evans respectively. They've earned it!
On the women's side, Iyo Sky and Liv Morgan are battling it out to become Queen. Sky is absolutely hungry to become a world champion again, you can feel that intensity. But Morgan, already the Women's World Champion, has her eyes set on SmackDown's top prize, aiming to run both shows! Only one of them can see that through after becoming Queen of the Ring. This is going to be HUGE for their SummerSlam plans.
And let's not forget Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker throwing down in a Steel Cage match! These former allies have been at each other's throats ever since Breakker and Bronson Reed booted Rollins from The Vision. Breakker even spoiled Rollins' comeback at WrestleMania, so yeah, their problems are exacerbated. A steel cage? That's the perfect environment to finally settle things.
Plus, Tiffany Stratton is defending her Women's United States Championship against Jade Cargill. You know that's gonna be a banger!
So, get ready, Seattle! Night of Champions streams live on ESPN Unlimited this Saturday, June 27, with the main card kicking off at 1 p.m. ET. With SummerSlam on the horizon and world title shots for the King and Queen of the Ring, the stakes are through the roof. You absolutely do not want to miss a single second of this chaos!
