WWE Night of Champions 2025 Results: Cena Retains Amid Chaos, Jade & Cody Crowned. New US Champ Debuts.
WWE Night of Champions 2025 brought drama, shock returns, and major title shifts on Saturday, June 28, in Riyadh. With legends clashing, crowns earned, and a debut that shook the foundation of the roster, the event lived up to its name.
Main Event Madness: Cena Retains Thanks to Rollins
John Cena defended his WWE Championship in an emotionally charged match against CM Punk — possibly his final in-ring bout in Riyadh. Both veterans brought everything to the table, exchanging finishers and fierce counters.
After Cena delivered three AAs, Punk stayed alive. The referee was knocked out during a key sequence, allowing Punk to hit the GTS — but there was no official to count. Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, Bronson Reed, and Bron Breakker rushed to the ring, assaulting Punk. Rollins looked set to cash in his MITB contract, but Cena, Sami Zayn, and Penta stopped the interference just in time.
As Punk and Cena teased mutual respect, Cena tried to steal the win, only for Rollins to interfere again — hitting Punk with the briefcase and a Stomp. Cena capitalized, got the pin, and retained his title.
Cody Rhodes Defeats Randy Orton, Becomes King of the Ring
In the night’s opener, Cody Rhodes overcame his former Legacy teammate Randy Orton in a technical, emotional battle. Orton targeted Rhodes with mind games and underhanded tactics, even exposing a turnbuckle.
But Rhodes countered, drove Orton into the steel, and nailed Cross Rhodes to be crowned the 2025 King of the Ring.
Jade Cargill Wins Queen of the Ring
Jade Cargill faced Asuka in a highly physical and fast-paced final. Asuka nearly secured the win multiple times, but Cargill stayed resilient and found the opening to pick up the biggest victory of her WWE career — becoming the new Queen of the Ring.
Solo Sikoa Wins US Title After Hikuleo’s Debut
Solo Sikoa defeated Jacob Fatu in a brutal grudge match that saw interference from Tonga Loa. But the moment of the night came when Hikuleo made his WWE debut, attacking Fatu and aligning with Solo. With the assist, Sikoa delivered the Samoan Spike to become the new United States Champion.
Rhea Ripley Outlasts Raquel in Street Fight
In a no-rules war, Rhea Ripley battled Raquel Rodriguez in a back-and-forth street fight. Roxanne Perez briefly helped Raquel, but Ripley fought through interference and landed an Avalanche Riptide for the victory.
