WWE Night of Champions 2026 is a week from this Saturday from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Just days away from the event, the company will be announcing some final matches for the card on June 27.

Fitting with the theme of the show, there should be some titles up for grabs to make this PLE a little more memorable.

Here are six final matches to potentially be added to WWE Night of Champions 2026.

Intercontinental Championship: Penta (c) vs. Ethan Page vs. Rusev vs. Chad Gable

Over the past few weeks, Penta has been targeted by both Ethan Page and Rusev, who are looking for a shot at the Intercontinental Championship.

Following a win over Rey Mysterio on the June 8 edition of WWE Raw, Penta was jumped by Page and Rusev until Chad Gable made the save for the luchadors.

Since there have been multiple stars gunning for the title, WWE would be wise to make a four-way match with the top contenders and the champion.

Penta defending the IC Title against Page, Rusev and Gable would make for a potential showstealer on the WWE Night of Champions 2026 premium live event.

Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Sol Ruca (c) vs. Bayley

On the June 8 episode of Monday Night Raw, Sol Ruca defeated Lyra Valkyria to retain the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship.

Lyra’s tag team partner Bayley showcased some jealousy towards Valkyria in regards to her quest to regain the gold.

Wanting to make it up to her partner, Lyra could get Bayley a shot after coming up short against Ruca.

In a rematch from the December 13 edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Bayley could look to avenge her previous loss against Ruca with the Women’s IC Title on the line.

Women’s United States Championship: Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Jade Cargill

Over the past few weeks, Tiffany Stratton has found herself back in opposition with Jade Cargill.

Joined by Michin and B-Fab, Cargill has been trying to take out Stratton and has hinted at wanting to get her hands on the WWE Women’s United States Championship.

In 2025, Cargill was responsible for defeating Stratton and ending her over 300 day reign as WWE Women’s Championship.

Rekindling their rivalry, Stratton could defend the Women’s US Title against Cargill in what should be a tough test for her reign at WWE Night of Champions 2026.

Women’s Tag Team Championship: Paige & Brie Bella (c) vs. Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid)

Ever since making their WWE main roster debut, Fatal Influence have been focused on winning championship gold.

On the June 12 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Paige and Brie Bella defeated Fatal Influence in a non-title match.

Despite suffering this loss, this should not stop Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid from going after the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.

Fatal Influence finally bringing the tag gold to their stable would feel like a big moment for the WWE Night of Champions 2026 premium live event on June 27.

United States Championship: Trick Williams (c) vs. Carmelo Hayes vs. Ricky Saints

After making his WWE main roster debut, Ricky Saints quickly found himself in a rivalry with Carmelo Hayes.

In recent weeks, Hayes and Saints have made it clear that they both have their sights on Trick Williams’ WWE United States Championship.

While Saints and Hayes are scheduled to face each other in a number one contender’s match on the June 19 SmackDown, there is a chance that the match does not bring a conclusive winner.

If that is the case, Trick could defend the US Title against Melo and Ricky in a three-way match in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on June 27.

Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. GUNTHER vs. Sami Zayn

At WWE Clash In Italy 2026, Cody Rhodes defeated GUNTHER to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship, but the match ended in some controversy.

During the winning pinfall, GUNTHER’s foot was underneath the ropes. With this in mind, ‘The Ring General’ has been granted a title rematch on the June 19 edition of Friday Night SmackDown.

In a special stipulation, Sami Zayn will serve as the special guest referee, which could lead to another disputed finish to this title match.

Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against GUNTHER and Zayn feels like the best option for the main event of Night of Champions 2026.
