RIYADH: The stage is set for a historic evening at WWE Night of Champions, as AJ Styles will face Seth Rollins for the chance to become the first world heavyweight champion in the headline match at Jeddah Superdome on Saturday, May 27.
Battling his way into the championship match, Rollins had to go through Shinsuke Nakamura and Damian Priest in a Triple Threat Match before defeating Finn Balor one-on-one. Meanwhile, after overcoming Rey Mysterio and Edge in his own brutal Triple Threat Match, Styles emerged victorious from a high-flying encounter with Bobby Lashley to secure the final place in the headline match at WWE Night of Champions in Jeddah.
As the match card continues to grow, Mustafa Ali will return to Saudi Arabia later this month for a title fight with the Intercontinental Champion Gunther. Following his recent trip to perform Umrah, Ali is gearing up for his first fight in Saudi Arabia since 2021.
Ali said: “I’m so excited to be returning to Saudi Arabia for Night of Champions. There’s no way I could miss an opportunity to be back in Saudi Arabia, especially for an incredible event like Night of Champions,” he said.
“Every match has huge ramifications, with every WWE Championship on the line. I’m hoping to win a championship in Saudi Arabia and celebrate with the people of the nation. I hope we can steal the show.”
In another mammoth clash, the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens will continue their feud with The Bloodline as they take on Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. After Zayn and Owens defeated The Usos at WrestleMania 39, it has been Reigns’ goal to restore the credibility of his family and retake the Tag Team Championship belts from his rivals.
