WWE makes change to Night of Champions poster
WWE has made a slight change to the poster for Night of Champions 2026.
When the official poster was unveiled last week, it featured Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley, Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, and United States Champion Trick Williams. It’s now been adjusted with Ripley being replaced by Women’s United States Champion Tiffany Stratton.
The change comes after WWE announced last Friday on SmackDown that Ripley is being evaluated for a knee injury. She did not have a match for Night of Champions confirmed yet. Fatal Influence leader Jacy Jayne has reportedly been discussed as a potential SummerSlam challenger for Ripley.
WWE’s new Night of Champions poster with Stratton replacing Ripley can be seen on the banner for the company’s YouTube channel. As of now, Stratton is not part of the announced card.
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia is hosting the June 27 PLE, which has a start time of 1 p.m. Eastern airing live on the ESPN app in the United States and on Netflix elsewhere. The card will include the finals of both King & Queen of the Ring.
