WWE Night Of Champions 2026 Predictions (King Of The Ring)

WWE has officially confirmed that they are bring back the Night of Champions PPV. This event will be held on June 27th, 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This page will feature my WWE Night Of Champions 2026 predictions.

WWE Night Of Champions Predictions

NOTE: I am going to assume WWE will do King and Queen of the Ring tournaments again, with the winners earning a future title matches. That is how they did it last year, so I am going to follow that same format. This is also the final PPV event before SummerSlam (not including a Saturday Night’s Main Event show in July but that usually only has a few matches). My assumption is the winners will use their title opportunities at Summerslam.

King of the Ring tournament final

My prediction for the tournament final is going to be Oba Femi vs Royce Keys.

My 2026 King of the Ring winner prediction is going to be Oba Femi.

They are clearly building Oba up as their next big thing (pardon the Brock Lesnar retirement pun). Him winning multiple matches on a weekly basis would make sense to further showcase him. I just think he makes a ton of sense as the winner here.

I also originally had Oba vs Roman Reigns in my SummerSlam predictions and this sets that match up perfectly.

Royce Keys is new to the WWE main roster and I think WWE will build him up over the next several months. Even though he would lose in the finals in my predictions, I still think winning several matches in the tournament and putting on a good showing against Oba would be a great thing for him. So even though he loses the match, he still looks like a star with his previous wins in the tournament.

Winner Prediction

  • Oba Femi

Queen of the Ring tournament final

My prediction for the tournament final is going to be Raquel Rodriguez vs Iyo Sky.

My 2026 Queen of the Ring winner prediction is going to be Raquel Rodriguez.

In my Wrestlemania 43 predictions, I have Liv Morgan vs Roxanne Perez vs Raquel Rodriguez happening. I think how they could get there is Raquel wins the Queen of the Ring tournament. She earns a title match at SummerSlam, where she challenges Rhea Ripley for her title (and not Liv). During that SummerSlam match, I think Liv and Roxanne Perez accidentally cost Raquel her match. This starts the break-up between Liv, Roxanne, and Raquel over the next several months. They ultimately split up down the road and we get the triple threat at Wrestlemania 43. That is my early guess at least. They could also replace Raquel in this scenario with Roxanne Perez.

I originally had Iyo Sky facing Rhea Ripley for her title at SummerSlam. So I am just going with Iyo as a finalist here as the other option if WWE doesn’t have Raquel win. They could easily have Iyo win this tournament and face Rhea.
