WWE NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS Preview: Full Match Card, Where To Watch, And Latest On Issues In Middle East

WWE's next PLE, Night of Champions, takes place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in the Kingdom Arena this Saturday, June 28. There's been some controversy surrounding the show (we'll get to that below), but when and where will you be able to watch it? 

As per usual, if you're in the U.S., then Night of Champions will stream on Peacock. The main show starts at 1pm ET and 10am PT, with a start time of 6pm in the UK. Overseas, the event will stream on Netflix. 

Following last night's episode of RAW, we have a full card for Night of Champions, a show with only two title matches now that the Intercontinental title is no longer on the line. There are no Tag Team or Women's Championship matches scheduled either. 

Here's the full, now-confirmed match card for Night of Champions:

Undisputed WWE Championship Match
John Cena vs. CM Punk

King of the Ring Tournament Finals
Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes

Queen of the Ring Tournament Finals
Asuka vs. Jade Cargill

WWE Intercontinental Championship Match
Dominik Mysterio vs. A.J. Styles

WWE United States Championship Match
Jacob Fatu vs. Solo Sikoa

Street Fight
Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez

Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross

Over the weekend, it was reported that the United States carried out strikes on three of Iran's nuclear sites - Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. Iran has threatened to retaliate by targeting American bases and citizens in the Middle East, and the UK, for example, has advised its citizens against travelling to several destinations in the area, including Saudi Arabia.

Despite that, WWE is forging ahead with SmackDown and Night of Champions as planned. According to Bryan Alvarez, with the airspace around Qatar temporarily shut down due to rising tensions in the Middle East, many members of the WWE production staff who flew in early are now stuck.

WWE is expected to fly wrestlers directly into Riyadh starting tomorrow, and it's been widely reported that they're no longer paid financial bonuses for competing at these Saudi Arabia shows. Instead, it's "baked into" their standard contracts, so those heading to the Middle East aren't necessarily doing so to score a big, one-off payday.

There's been speculation that Dominik Mysterio's "injury" is a result of him refusing to compete in Saudi Arabia. However, we've been unable to verify whether there's any truth to that. 

Stay tuned for more on Night of Champions throughout the rest of this week.
