Backstage plans for WWE Night of Champions point to several title retentions and a new Queen of the Ring as the premium live event approaches on Saturday in Riyadh.
WrestleVotes reported that Cody Rhodes is expected to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship in a triple threat against GUNTHER and Sami Zayn. Trick Williams is slated to keep the United States Championship against Ricky Saints, and Tiffany Stratton is projected to defend the Women's United States Championship against Jade Cargill.
The same report indicates IYO SKY is set to defeat Liv Morgan in the Queen of the Ring final. Plans for the King of the Ring final between Oba Femi and Jey Uso remain closely guarded.
Seth Rollins, who faces Bron Breakker in a steel cage, told ESPN that GUNTHER holds an advantage in the title match because he can set aside the emotions between Rhodes and Zayn. Rollins noted that several finishes for his own match have been considered internally.
