WWE returns to Saudi Arabia for today’s Night of Champions with three title matches, two tournament finals and a steel cage match.
The headliner will see undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes defend against Gunther and Sami Zayn in a three-way. This will be the third time Rhodes and Gunther have squared off for the title with Zayn affecting the last match after he was special guest referee.

In a steel cage match, Seth Rollins faces Bron Breakker in their trilogy match. Breakker defeated Rollins at Backlash while Rollins evened the score on Raw earlier this month.
WWE Women’s United States Champion Tiffany Stratton will defend against past rival Jade Cargill who ended Stratton’s lengthy Women’s title reign nearly a year ago.
The men’s United States title will also be on the line as Trick Williams defends against Ricky Saints.
