WWE Night of Champions 2025 Highlights, Results: John Cena beats CM Punk; Solo grabs title; Cody-Jade King-Queen of Ring

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates:  There is a moment of peace between CM Punk and John Cena as both shake hands but that look on Cena's face is familiar. He then goes for a low blow, which is blocked by Punk, who is then taken down by Seth Rollins, first with the briefcase and then a stomp. Cena then throws Rollins out of the ring and goes for the cover. Referee's up and Cena retains the title one more time.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: Rollins now signals for a referee but before he can even enter the ring, he's taken out by John Cena. Cena then hits Rollins with an Attitude Adjustment but is soon taken out by Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.

There are other interruptions as Penta and Sami Zayn joins the action. Chaotic scenes inside and outside the ring, more in the ramp area as the crowd shouts 'OTC, OTC' anticipating Roman Reigns to walk out.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: The match continues and in the process, John Cena accidentally shoulder bumps the referee, who rolls down the ring and is in unconscious state. CM Punk then hits Cena with another GTS but with no official present, the match continues. Punk then signals for another official but in walks Seth Rollins, the current Money In The Bank holder, and his gang, who launch an attack on Punk.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: John Cena brings his WWE Championship to use it as a weapon, something we've witnessed it so many times in the past few months. However, Cena refrains from using it and goes for another Attitude Adjustment. But Punk counters and hits Cena with a GTS (Go to Sleep), who then goes for the cover but the champ kicks out at two.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: A gripping affair so far, mostly dominated by CM Punk. He also locks John Cena with a STF. Meanwhile, Cena has so far connected two Attitude Adjustments as the match continues.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: The Riyadh crowd has got to be the loudest in the evening. Flashlights from cellphone, CM Punk chants, John Cena chants, fans jumping - all happening at the same time. Electrifying, we must say.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: John Cena vs CM Punk - the blockbuster match for the WWE Undisputed Championship is underway.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: Solo Sikoa has added a new member to his faction. Hikuleo. He interrupts the match right after Jacob Fatu hits Sikoa with a moon sault. Hikuleo arrives from underneath the ring and drags Fatu outside and chokeslams him into the announce table. He then throws Fatu inside the ring and Sikoa wraps the show with a Samoan Spike.

We have a new WWE US Champion as Solo walks out with the gold and a much stronger faction.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: As Jacob Fatu climbs up to the top rope for a splash in comes JC Mateo. He distracts the referee and we see Tanga Loa for the first time since War Games Survivor Series. He breaks the move, allowing Sikoa to take an advantage but the cover is an unsuccessful one.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: On expected lines, Jacob Fatu is the one who dominates the early proceedings. Solo needs some help, which going by history will surely arrive from JC Mateo, formerly known as Jeff Cobb. But will we see Jimmy also introduce himself? Quite possible going by the recent turn of events among the four superstars.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: And now we have the US Championship on the line, with title holder Jacob Fatu defending it against Solo Sikoa. Both are members of the Anoaʻi family, who have a rich wrestling background.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: Sami Zayn pulls a miracle win over Karrion Kross. He was out of breath, lying unconscious for a good part but he ultimately gets the job done by The Helluva Kick. 1, 2, 3... and that's it. Zayn, the audience favourite, beats Kross.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: Sami Zayn is in action against Karrion Kross in a singles match.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: Rhea Ripley goes on to win the Street Fight as he hits Raquel with an avalanche Riptide from the platform created by placing a table on the ropes. She then goes for the cover, which turns out to be a successful one.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: Roxanne Perez interferes

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: Rhea has had enough as she removes her studded belt, shouts 'You wanna whip me' and gives Raquel a belting. She then hits Raquel with a Razor Edge. But before she could capitalise, Roxanne Perez comes to Raquel's aid, who is the new member to link with the Judgement Day. This shifts Rhea's attention towards Roxanne, allowing Raquel to recover and keep the momentum intact.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: However, Raquel is showing great strength and powerbombs Rhea outside the ring, on top of the cover of the announce table, placed near the spectators. She now pulls a table while Rhea lies unconscious outside.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: In comes the Kendo Stick and a Steel Chair, which Raquel pulls from underneath the ring. She takes two Kendo Stick on her ribs, but counters right when Raquel was about to use the steel chair. She is trying to shift momentum as the action moves outside the ring.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: While we know Rhea Ripley to be big bully inside the case, that isn't the case tonight. So far Raquel has not matched but dominated the action, which is still happening inside the ring. Can Rhea fightback, or her Judgement Day misery continue...only time will tell.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Live Updates: Next we have a Street Fight between Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez.

Raquel is the first, who walks up to the ring. And is followed by Rhea as we get ready for a ruthless showdown between two heavyweights from the women roster.
