The company has announced that the final of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments will happen at the upcoming Saudi spectacle. Moreover, the company could be planning some big things for the show.

The following piece will cover three things WWE could be planning for Night of Champions 2025:


#3. Cody Rhodes could become the new King of the Ring at Night of Champions 2025

Cody Rhodes qualified to the semifinal of the King of the Ring tournament after defeating Damian Priest, Andrade, and Shinsuke Nakamura in a Fatal Four-Way match on SmackDown. The American Nightmare is expected to win the next round as well to qualify for the final of the tournament.

Cody Rhodes could lock horns with Randy Orton or Sami Zayn in the final at Night of Champions 2025. The former AEW star will likely prevail over his rival to become the new King of the Ring, setting up a rematch against John Cena at SummerSlam.

If so, the odds of The American Nightmare being the one to dethrone John Cena can't be ruled out. Rhodes could beat the odds and dethrone The Cenation Leader to reclaim the Undisputed WWE Title.


#2. Becky Lynch could defend the Women's Intercontinental Title against Bayley

Becky Lynch prevailed over Lyra Valkyria to win the Women's Intercontinental Championship at Money in the Bank. However, she was attacked by Bayley on the post-MITB episode of RAW.

The Role Model, who has some unfinished business with Big Time Becks, returned to lay waste to Lynch. Given how things unfolded between the two veterans on the red brand, a potential match between the two stalwarts could be on the cards at Night of Champions 2025.


#1. Roman Reigns could return with Rikishi and tag team legends The Usos

John Cena will defend the Undisputed WWE Title against CM Punk at Night of Champions 2025. However, the current Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins, could make his presence felt during or after the match, threatening a cash-in.

If so, it could lead to the epic return of Roman Reigns. However, the OTC may not return alone. Roman Reigns could return with Rikishi and The Usos to thwart Seth Rollins' plans of cashing-in his MITB briefcase.

After Jey Uso lost the World Heavyweight Title, there have been murmurs of The Usos reuniting. If so, the twin brothers could join forces with Reigns, helping him even the odds against Seth Rollins and Co. Meanwhile, Rikishi could be the OTC's new Wiseman.
