**Jeddah, Saudi Arabia -** WWE Night of Champions 2025 delivered a night of shocking victories, hard-fought battles, and the emergence of a new force in the WWE Universe. From championship clashes to royal coronations, the event left fans worldwide buzzing.

In the main event, **John Cena** successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Championship against a determined **CM Punk**. The hard-hitting contest saw Cena ultimately prevail, albeit with some controversy after he seemingly laid out the referee, raising questions about the legitimacy of the victory.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night came in the United States Championship match. **Solo Sikoa**, aided by a newly enlisted “soldier,” defeated **Jacob Fatu** to capture the title. The match showcased Sikoa’s growing power and cemented his status as a force to be reckoned with. (See Results, Video, Solo Enlists New Soldier, and Photos).

Other notable matches included a hard-fought victory for **Sami Zayn** over **Karrion Kross**, and a brutal Street Fight where **Rhea Ripley** defeated **Raquel Rodriguez**. (See Results, Videos, and Photos for both matches).

The road to Night of Champions saw plenty of action on WWE’s weekly shows. **Cody Rhodes** advanced in the King of the Ring Tournament on Raw. On SmackDown, **CM Punk** delivered a scathing “Basic Thuganomics” rap roast to **John Cena**. Meanwhile, on NXT, **Jordynne Grace** earned an NXT Women’s Title Match at Evolution.

However, Cena’s title reign has been in the shadow of theft: At WrestleMania Sunday, Cena stole the Undisputed WWE Title from Cody Rhodes.
