A major title change occurred at WWE Night of Champions as Sami Zayn emerged as the new Undisputed WWE Champion. In a high-stakes main event, Zayn secured the victory in a three-way match against Cody Rhodes and GUNTHER.
This win marks a significant milestone for Zayn, who claimed the world title after a long-standing quest. The Undisputed WWE Championship has now been held by five different competitors, including Roman Reigns, John Cena, and Drew McIntyre.
The event also featured tournament finals, with Oba Femi defeating Jey Uso to win the King of the Ring tournament. Additionally, IYO SKY secured a victory over Liv Morgan in the Queen of the Ring final, confirming her intent to challenge Morgan for the Women’s World Championship at SummerSlam.
What Lies Ahead for Cody Rhodes
Following this loss, the focus shifts to the future of Cody Rhodes. Having held the championship multiple times since WrestleMania 40, Rhodes may now pivot to a new storyline. Reports suggest a potential feud with CM Punk, who is expected to return to the SmackDown brand soon. While a match between the two was previously discussed for WrestleMania 42, the prospect of a high-profile rivalry remains a major point of interest for fans as the company moves toward future premium live events.
