Does The Ruler Wear The Crown? Or Will Jey Uso Incited A Riot
Oba Femi has been the favorite to win King of the Ring 2026 since the tournament began. His star is on the rise, and he has been booked like an absolute monster since making his way to the main roster. It’s no shock that he bullied his way to the King of the Ring finals, and if the crowd had their way, he would be the one wearing the crown at the end of the night. It’s the smart play for WWE, but is it the one that they will go with?
Jey Uso has returned to the Bloodline and wrestled his way into the King of the Ring 2026 finals, much to the dismay of the WWE Universe. The crowd hasn’t been very receptive to Uso’s victories, and they could be further incensed when he wins the King of the Ring.
It seems like a logical step to have crowd favorite Oba Femi win over Uso, but there are more factors at play here. Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar are tied at one victory apiece in their program, and a rubber match is almost assuredly on the docket. SummerSlam is in Minnesota, making it the perfect place to settle these issues.
The best way to get there? Having Brock Lesnar cost Oba Femi, the King of the Ring, thus handing it to Uso on a silver platter. Whether it happens or not is another story altogether; only by watching Night of Champions will we find out.
An Iconic Triple Threat Match
As far as triple-threat matches go, there may not be a better one than the one we will witness at Night of Champions. WWE has done a great job of building two compelling stories and then interweaving them ahead of this WWE Championship showdown.
Cody Rhodes and Gunther have been engaged in a battle of one-upmanship for a few months now, with Gunther getting the short end of the stick. His complaints have been justified and have been further compounded by the inclusion of Sami Zayn. A move that Gunther thought would help him in his quest, but had only caused further problems.
Sami Zayn has also experienced a character change, becoming the heel that works so well for him. His fence sitting has been fantastic and has infuriated the WWE Champion. Once he was pushed into the WWE Championship match on SmackDown, we knew that this triple threat was on the horizon.
The action will be great on Saturday, and the stories that WWE has built in preparation for this contest will bring it to another level. Night of Champions will provide the wrestling world with a fantastic triple threat that could rival any that have come before it.
