Jeddah, Saudi Arabia – June 27, 2026 – History was forged tonight at WWE Night of Champions in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as Oba Femi and Iyo Sky ascended to the thrones, being crowned the 2026 King and Queen of the Ring, respectively. Their victories, earned through a rigorous tournament structure, have secured them guaranteed world championship opportunities at the highly anticipated SummerSlam event later this year.
The King of the Ring final saw the dominant Oba Femi overcome the challenge of fan-favorite Jey Uso in a hard-fought contest. Femi, known for his imposing physical presence and calculated aggression, delivered a performance that underscored his rapid rise within WWE. His path to the crown was fraught with peril, culminating in a decisive victory that solidified his status as a formidable force.
Femi’s tournament journey began in the quarterfinals, where he navigated a brutal fatal four-way match featuring established talents and rising stars. In a contest that included the high-flying agility of Ricochet, the raw power of Bron Breakker, and the charismatic presence of LA Knight, Femi’s strategic dominance allowed him to isolate and defeat Knight, securing his passage to the semifinals. There, he faced Dominik Mysterio, a match that saw significant interference from The Judgment Day’s JD McDonagh. However, "The Ruler" showcased his resilience and raw power, systematically dismantling both Mysterio and McDonagh to advance to the final. Femi’s performance throughout the tournament has been a testament to his focused intensity and relentless pursuit of victory, adding to his already impressive resume which includes a notable reign as NXT North American Champion. His undefeated streak since his main roster call-up has been a significant talking point among wrestling analysts, who highlight his unique blend of power and agility for a man of his stature.
Jey Uso’s journey to the final was equally compelling. He navigated his own fatal four-way quarterfinal, triumphing over a diverse field that included the cunning Santos Escobar, the menacing Karrion Kross, and the outspoken Grayson Waller. Uso’s connection with the WWE Universe propelled him through these challenges. In the semifinals, he faced Je’Von Evans, a main roster rookie whose unexpected run through the tournament had captivated audiences. Evans, who had previously stunned the field by defeating Solo Sikoa in his quarterfinal, demonstrated remarkable agility and determination, pushing Uso to his limits. However, Uso’s veteran experience and fighting spirit ultimately prevailed, setting up the highly anticipated clash with Femi.

On the women’s side, "The Genius of the Sky," Iyo Sky, etched her name into the history books by defeating Liv Morgan in the Queen of the Ring final. Sky’s victory marks a significant milestone in her career, adding another prestigious accolade to her impressive list, which already includes a WWE Women’s Championship reign and multiple WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. Her aerial offense and calculated strikes proved too much for the tenacious Morgan.
Sky’s road to the final began with a fierce fatal four-way quarterfinal. She outmaneuvered a competitive field that included her former Damage CTRL stablemate Dakota Kai, the resilient Alba Fyre, and the opportunistic Chelsea Green. Sky’s precise high-flying maneuvers and strategic acumen allowed her to secure the win. In the semifinals, Sky faced the formidable Raquel Rodriguez. This encounter was a clash of styles, with Sky’s agility and technical prowess going up against Rodriguez’s sheer power. Sky ultimately utilized her speed and innovative offense to overcome Rodriguez, who had previously powered her way past Nia Jax in her quarterfinal.
Liv Morgan’s path to the Queen of the Ring final was marked by controversy and an alliance that has been a focal point of recent programming. Morgan, who has adopted a more aggressive and "reckless" persona, advanced from her own fatal four-way quarterfinal, overcoming challenges from former champions Bianca Belair and Tiffany Stratton. Her semifinal match against the decorated Charlotte Flair proved to be a pivotal moment. The contest was highly competitive, but a "crucial assist" from Jade Cargill’s burgeoning faction, specifically targeting Flair’s leg, ultimately allowed Morgan to secure the victory. This win, while tainted by outside interference, underscored Morgan’s new, uncompromising approach and her ambition to hold top titles across both Raw and SmackDown. Flair, a multiple-time world champion, was visibly frustrated by the circumstances, hinting at a potential future confrontation with Cargill’s group.
The Night of Champions event in Saudi Arabia served as a fitting backdrop for these monumental victories. The tournament, which featured competitors from both the Raw and SmackDown brands, commenced with fatal four-way matches in the quarterfinals, ensuring a diverse range of talent and unpredictable outcomes. Subsequent rounds transitioned to traditional singles matches, demanding endurance and individual prowess from the advancing superstars. The format tested the mettle of every participant, emphasizing the significance of earning a world title opportunity through such a grueling process.
With their crowns secured, both Oba Femi and Iyo Sky now turn their attention to SummerSlam. Iyo Sky wasted no time in declaring her intentions, explicitly calling for a rematch against Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Title. This highly anticipated encounter promises to be a dramatic continuation of their rivalry, with Sky seeking to reclaim the championship she once held and Morgan aiming to solidify her reign, potentially with the backing of her new allies.
Oba Femi’s choice presents an intriguing strategic dilemma. As the King of the Ring, he has the option to challenge either the World Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns, or the newly crowned WWE Champion, Sami Zayn. Reigns, known for his unprecedented reign as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, currently holds the World Heavyweight Title and remains a dominant figure on SmackDown. Zayn, on the other hand, recently captured the WWE Championship in a hard-fought battle, and a challenge from Femi would immediately test the resolve of the new champion. Analysts are speculating on Femi’s strategic move, considering both the prestige of facing Reigns and the potential for a more immediate path to championship gold against Zayn. Femi’s decision is expected to be announced in the coming weeks, setting the stage for a blockbuster SummerSlam.
The 2026 King and Queen of the Ring tournaments have once again proven to be pivotal events in the WWE calendar, elevating new stars and providing established talent with renewed purpose. The coronation of Oba Femi and Iyo Sky marks the beginning of new chapters for both competitors, with world championship gold firmly in their sights.
