Fans should expect WWE to complete the match card in the coming weeks. There could be some big clashes in store for fans at Night of Champions 2025.

In this piece, we will cover full match-card predictions for the upcoming PLE:


#5. Announced match - John Cena (c) vs. CM Punk for the Undisputed WWE Title at Night of Champions 2025

John Cena and Logan Paul lost their tag team match against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso at Money in the Bank 2025 due to R-Truth's interference. Following that, The Cenation Leader appeared on last night's RAW to address fans.

However, he was interrupted by CM Punk. The two stars engaged in a war of words, leading to The Best in The World challenging The Unseen 17 to a match, and the Undisputed WWE Champion duly accepted it.

The legendary rivals will now lock horns at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.

Prediction: The Rock, who has been on a hiatus since Elimination Chamber, may finally return to help John Cena beat CM Punk at Night of Champions 2025. Given his history with The Best in The World, The Final Boss costing Punk a potential win would make sense.


#4. Becky Lynch (c) vs. Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria for the Women's Intercontinental Championship

Becky Lynch defeated Lyra Valkyria to win the Women's Intercontinental Championship at Money in the Bank 2025. Following that, she appeared on RAW, demanding Lyra raise her hand again.

However, before Valkyria could enter the ring, Bayley returned to attack Becky Lynch. The Role Model laid waste to The Man, much to the delight of fans. Given how things unfolded, a Triple Threat Match could be on the cards between the aforementioned names at Night of Champions.

Prediction: Becky Lynch will likely retain her title.


#3. Jacob Fatu (c) vs. Damian Priest for the United States Title at Night of Champions 2025

Damian Priest earned a big victory over Drew McIntyre in a Steel Cage Match at Saturday Night's Main Event. Following that, The Archer of Infamy announced that he is coming after Jacob Fatu's United States Championship.

As fans must be aware, Fatu betrayed Solo Sikoa at Money in the Bank. Given that, a singles match between the former duo could be on the cards. However, the company may delay the same until SummerSlam.

Meanwhile, The Samoan Werewolf could defend his title against Priest at Night of Champions.

Prediction: Jacob Fatu could lose his title to Damian Priest due to Solo Sikoa's interference. The Street Champion could make his presence felt during the match to cost Fatu a potential win.

#2. Queen of the Ring final - Jade Cargill vs. Asuka

WWE kicked off the Queen of the Ring Tournament on this week's RAW. Roxanne Perez defeated Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, and Kairi Sane in a Fatal Four-Way Match to advance to the next round.

Much like RAW, this week's SmackDown will feature men's and women's Fatal Four-Way Matches. The women's qualifying match will see Jade Cargill square off with Piper Niven, Nia Jax, and Michin. The Storm could emerge victorious in this match and then face Perez in the semi-final. The other semi-final could be between Charlotte Flair and Asuka.

If so, fans should expect Asuka and Cargill to win their respective matches to qualify for the final of the tournament.

Prediction: WWE legend Asuka could defeat Jade Cargill to become the new Queen of the Ring at Night of Champions 2025, setting up a big match against IYO SKY at SummerSlam.


#1. King of the Ring final - Cody Rhodes vs. Sami Zayn at Night of Champions 2025

Sami Zayn won his Fatal Four-Way Match last night to qualify for the semi-finals of the King of the Ring Tournament. He pinned Dominik Mysterio following an entertaining bout that also involved Bron Breakker and Penta. The Canadian could meet either Randy Orton or LA Knight in the next round.

However, Zayn, who is one of the favorites to win the tournament in Riyadh, will likely win the semi-final. The other finalist could be none other than Cody Rhodes.

The American Nightmare could first win his Fatal Four-Way Match against Damian Priest, Andrade, and Shinsuke Nakamura, and then the semi-final to meet his dear friend in the final.

Prediction: Cody Rhodes could defeat Sami Zayn at Night of Champions 2025, leading to a potential rematch against John Cena at SummerSlam. However, this potential loss could lead to the heel turn of Sami.
