WWE has posted full highlights from Saturday’s Night of Champions, which featured the King and Queen of the Ring Finals, a title change and more!


John Cena will be putting his Undisputed WWE Championship on the line for the first time since retaining against Randy Orton at WWE Backlash on May 10 as he defends against CM Punk. Cena and Punk have had no shortage of history with one another, reigniting their rivalry with one another a couple of weeks ago with a series of messages they have sent to one another during several verbal confrontations as the former looks to appeal to the latter in an attempt to change his mind on his negative outlook towards the WWE Universe.

Jacob Fatu will be putting the United States Championship on the line for the first time since retaining against Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest, and LA Knight in a Fatal Four-Way Match at WWE Backlash as he defends against his former ally Solo Sikoa. Since Fatu betrayed Sikoa during the 2025 Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match at WWE Money In The Bank earlier this month to ensure that he wouldn't become the briefcase holder, things have only become increasingly tense between the two men as they've encountered one another in a series of physical and verbal altercations over the course of the past few weeks.
