New Undisputed WWE Champion Crowned At Night Of Champions 2026 In Saudi Arabia
It happened.
WWE Night Of Champions 2026 has come-and-gone, and Cody Rhodes is no longer your Undisputed WWE Champion.
Longtime WWE Superstar Sami Zayn managed to emerge victorious in the triple-threat main event title tilt against reigning title-holder “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes and former champion “The Career-Killer” Gunther at the June 27 premium live event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Heading into the match, the storyline was one that focused heavy on the fact that Sami Zayn has “never won the big one” and never held the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Not anymore.
Zayn got his hand raised in Riyadh on 6/27, celebrating in a sea of Saudi Arabian fans as the WWE Night Of Champions 2026 premium live event went off the air.
