Card Preview & Predictions for Night of Champions 2025
WWE Night of Champions 2025 is almost here, and it marks John Cena’s final match in Saudi Arabia. The stakes are high, the card is stacked, and the spectacle promises to be unforgettable. Check out our full match-by-match breakdown and predictions in our ultimate Night of Champions guide:
Undisputed WWE Championship: John Cena (c) vs CM Punk
One of WWE’s greatest rivalries may finally reach its conclusion when Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena defends his title against CM Punk.
After dethroning Cody Rhodes during his farewell tour and successfully retaining against Randy Orton, the self-proclaimed “Last Real Champion” has vowed to leave WWE, and take the title with him. It’s a bold threat that echoes Money in the Bank 2011, when Punk famously defeated Cena and walked out with the WWE Championship. But this time, Punk insists he’s not trying to destroy WWE—he’s trying to save it.
Now, with the world watching, these two icons will collide once again in a match fans have waited years to see. While it seems unlikely Cena would drop the title with fewer than 20 appearances left on his retirement tour, there’s no doubt CM Punk is worthy of being the one to take it.
Quick Pick Predictions:
- Joey & Rags: John Cena
United States Championship: Jacob Fatu (c) vs. Solo Sikoa
Tensions within The Bloodline come to a boil as United States Champion Jacob Fatu defends his title against former ally Solo Sikoa in what promises to be a deeply personal and brutal encounter.
Fatu’s reign began with momentum, but Solo’s ego quickly complicated things. Without Fatu’s knowledge, Sikoa brought in JC Mateo as backup and began undermining the champion behind the scenes. When Fatu overheard one of Solo’s insults, it ignited a firestorm. His response? Costing Solo the Money in the Bank contract while screaming, “I hate you!” for the world to hear.
In a failed attempt at reconciliation, Solo’s true colors were revealed as he and Mateo unleashed a savage two-on-one beatdown on Fatu during SmackDown. The ambush drew Jimmy Uso to the champion’s side, setting the stage for their high-stakes clash at Night of Champions.
This one is going to be interesting. Solo has JC Mateo in his corner—Jacob has Jimmy now. But does this set the stage for a Roman Reigns return? With so many Bloodline members either out or injured, WWE may use this match as a turning point in the faction’s evolution. While it may feel too soon for Fatu to lose the title, the story could outweigh the reign. Don’t be surprised if Solo Sikoa walks away as the new United States Champion.
Quick Pick Predictions:
- Joey: Solo Sikoa
- Rags: Jacob Fatu
Queen of the Ring Tournament Final: Jade Cargill vs. Asuka
Two of the most dominant women in the division will meet in a highly anticipated Queen of the Ring Final.
After powering through the opening round with impressive Fatal 4-Way wins, both women made major statements in the semifinals. Cargill outlasted Roxanne Perez, while Asuka defeated Alexa Bliss to punch her ticket to the finals. Now, it all comes down to this… The winner will be crowned the 2025 Queen of the Ring and earn a guaranteed World Title opportunity at SummerSlam.
This matchup feels like a true toss-up. Either competitor could realistically walk away with the crown. For Asuka, who is rumored to be entering her final run, a loss would immediately stall her return. But a win could kickstart a dream SummerSlam clash with IYO SKY that fans are already fantasy booking.
On the other side, Jade’s solo journey is just heating up. A defeat here could hurt her momentum, especially after her huge win over Naomi at WrestleMania 41. That victory needs to pay dividends, considering Naomi now holds the Money in the Bank briefcase and looms as a major threat. And with Bianca Belair also in the picture, Jade’s path to the top remains crowded.
No matter who wins, this Queen of the Ring Final promises to shift the landscape of WWE’s women’s division heading into SummerSlam.
Quick Pick Predictions:
- Joey: Jade Cargill
- Rags: Asuka
Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross
After months of psychological warfare and verbal jabs, Sami Zayn will finally go one-on-one with Karrion Kross.
Kross has made Zayn his personal target, relentlessly mocking him for falling short in his pursuit of a world championship. Following Zayn’s recent loss to Randy Orton in the King of the Ring semifinals, Kross once again struck a nerve, leading to Zayn snapping and issuing a long-overdue challenge.
Though their feud has simmered backstage with mind games and confrontations. But, this will mark the first time these two square off in a sanctioned match. And the stakes couldn’t be higher.
For Zayn, it’s a chance to silence the man who’s been in his head for months. For Kross, it’s the breakout moment fans have been begging for.
This is the opportunity Kross supporters have waited on — a real push, a high-profile match, and a chance to showcase the twisted genius he’s quietly displayed for months. From subtle mind games to manipulating others’ heel turns, even down to the eerie way he mirrors his opponents’ looks, Kross has been playing chess while others played checkers.
Now, he’s on the verge of something special. If WWE doesn’t pull the trigger now, they may never capture this momentum again. Will Zayn finally get his revenge, or is this the start of Kross’ long-overdue rise?
Quick Pick Predictions:
- Joey: Karrion Kross
- Rags: Sami Zayn
King of the Ring Tournament Final: Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes
Longtime rivals turned momentary allies will once again find themselves on opposite sides of the ring as Cody Rhodes faces Randy Orton in the King of the Ring Final.
After surviving chaotic Fatal 4-Way bouts in the opening round, Orton earned his spot by defeating Sami Zayn in the semifinal. Rhodes on the other hand, outlasted Jey Uso to secure his place in the final matchup. Now, with everything on the line, the two will clash for the crown… and a guaranteed World Title match at SummerSlam.
This isn’t just another chapter in their storied history. Orton and Rhodes were always destined to collide again. But this time, the stakes are layered with legacy, timing, and shifting dynamics. With John Cena’s final match looming in December, this could be Cody’s last chance to position himself for a dream showdown. One final effort to “save wrestling” on the biggest stage possible.
Then there’s Orton, the veteran who’s been subtly teasing a return to his darker side. Could this be the match that finally unleashes the Viper once again? Or is he here to elevate Cody one more time before fading into the shadows?
While the outcome may feel predictable to some, the implications stretch far beyond the crown. This King of the Ring Final is about legacy, redemption, and the final pieces of a much larger story.
Quick Pick Predictions:
- Joey: Cody Rhodes
- Rags: Randy Orton
Street Fight: Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez
Tensions will reach a boiling point when Rhea Ripley goes head-to-head with Raquel Rodriguez in a brutal Street Fight.
This rivalry has been brewing for weeks. Ever since Raquel aligned herself with Liv Morgan—Ripley’s longtime rival—the animosity between her and The Eradicator has only intensified. After Liv and Raquel inserted themselves into Judgment Day’s world and took Rhea out of the picture, it was only a matter of time before retaliation came.
Things escalated even further during the Queen of the Ring Tournament, when Ripley cost Rodriguez a chance at the crown. What followed was an all-out brawl that pulled in Roxanne Perez, adding even more heat to an already fiery feud.
While this matchup wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card, it promises to be a banger—and a historic clash between two of the most dominant women in WWE today. With Liv Morgan currently sidelined, the question remains: Will Roxanne Perez step up once again to support Raquel and possibly fill Liv’s shoes in the tag team title picture? Or will Ripley, who rarely takes an L, continue her reign of destruction?
It’s time for WWE to start pulling the trigger on Raquel Rodriguez. She’s proven she has the look, the power, and now, the story. Her involvement with Judgment Day has been great to see. Now, it’s time to make her a true top-tier force in the women’s division.
Quick Pick Predictions:
- Joey: Raquel Rodriguez
- Rags: Rhea Ripley
