With Money in the Bank now in the books, WWE’s next Premium Live Event is already on the near horizon.
Night of Champions takes place on June 28, live from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
While the finals of both the men’s and women’s King of the Ring tournaments have already been confirmed, the rest of the card, set to be made up of title matches, is yet to be announced.
Here are the bouts we could see added to WWE Night of Champions.
6. John Cena vs. R-Truth
R-Truth’s shocking return in the main event of Money in the Bank suggests WWE tore up their original plans.
The biggest takeaway from the show’s conclusion was not Cody Rhodes pinning John Cena to set up their rematch, but R-Truth reappearing and costing Cena the tag bout.
Despite their recent one-sided bout at Saturday Night’s Main Event, a more serious version of Truth, as Ron Killings, now looks like a potential contender for Cena’s Undisputed WWE Title.
While not confirmed, a rematch between the two – this time with the title on the line – at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia appears a genuine possibility.

5. Jacob Fatu vs. Damian Priest
The second biggest surprise coming out of Money in the Bank was United States Heavyweight Champion Jacob Fatu turning on Bloodline leader Solo Sikoa.
This has formally set up a feud between the two cousins – a blockbuster clash likely being saved for one of the two nights of SummerSlam.
Before then, Fatu has another challenger to deal with: Damian Priest, who made his intentions clear regarding the US Title on SmackDown.
A match between the two at Night of Champions appears on the cards – and with the likelihood of Sikoa interfering, don’t be surprised if Fatu is cheated out of his title.

4. Giulia vs. Zelina Vega
On the June 6 edition of SmackDown, Giulia made her intentions clear: she’s gunning for Zelina Vega and the WWE Women’s United States Title.
At Money in the Bank, despite an impressive showing, Giulia failed to win the ladder match.
With the MITB briefcase no longer an option, she’s now free to chase the US Title.
A showdown between Giulia and Vega at Night of Champions seems inevitable – and could mark the Japanese star’s first main roster title win.

3. The Street Profits vs. The Wyatt Sicks
In their return to WWE television on SmackDown, the Wyatt Sicks made an immediate impact by decimating the tag team division.
On the June 6 edition of the show, an Uncle Howdy VHS-style promo confirmed the group’s clear intention to target the tag titles.
While the specific Wyatt Sicks pairing remains unknown, the clear direction is a showdown with the champions, The Street Profits.
That challenge could very well come as soon as Night of Champions on June 28.

2. IYO Sky vs. Liv Morgan
Liv Morgan failed to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at the PLE.
Nevertheless, she’s made her intentions clear on Raw: she’s coming for IYO SKY’s Women’s World Championship.
With no official number one contender yet confirmed, Morgan could claim that spot in the coming weeks.
Signs currently point at a showdown between the hugely popular champion and challenger at WWE Night of Champions.

1. The New Day vs. The War Raiders vs. American Made vs. Finn Bálor & JD McDonagh
The New Day and War Raiders have been feuding over the World Tag Team Championship for several months now.
Recent weeks have seen American Made enter the mix, after the champions hustled them in a three-way title match on Raw.
Also in the picture now are Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh, who picked up a win over The War Raiders in a bout where The New Day were thrown off commentary.
With all four teams now entangled, a four-way match for the titles at Night of Champions seems the most likely direction.
