Countdown Pre-Show

Jackie Redmond interviewed Rhea earlier today.

She is asked about their current hatred. Rhea says it is all Raquel’s fault. They were best friends in NXT. She felt like they were family. She loved her like a sister. Once her career took off and she faced Shayna for the title, Raquel turned. Everything changed. She has a reminder of what Raquel meant to her.

Jackie asks Rhea what will she do to win?

Rhea says she will do absolutely anything. They had a Last Woman Standing and a No Holds Barred match and they each won one. She will do anything to put Raquel in the ground because she has been a thorn in her side. Raquel knows all of Rhea’s struggles to get here so she wants to smash Raquel in the face.

Jackie asks how much this win means to get back into the championship picture.

She says she will stop at nothing to get her baby back. She has done things she is not proud of but she will have to do it again. She says she has to go through people again to get there. If she does not want the title, why is she even here. She wants to be the top dog and she has to show everyone who she is.

– Byron Saxton is with Karrion Kross and Scarlett.

He asks what is Kross trying to prove.

He says he is proving the truth that he sees. Sami is a misdirection artist. It is a charade. Sami tries to get you to believe that he is a diffferent man. He is a violent person. He weaponizes sympathy. Kross brings up the Bloodline. Everyone talks about Sami’s story about becoming World Champion, but no one asks Kross about his story. Kross says everyone is talking about his story and then he says he doesn’t want another viral moment.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Preview

Headlining the event is John Cena’s first Undisputed WWE Championship defense since retaining the title against Randy Orton at WWE Backlash on May 10. Cena now faces long-time rival CM Punk, who has reignited his feud with the champion over the past few weeks through a series of confrontations and bitter exchanges. Cena has attempted to reason with Punk, urging him to change his combative stance toward the WWE Universe, but Punk has refused to soften his edge.

Also scheduled is the 2025 King of the Ring final, pitting Randy Orton against Cody Rhodes. The winner will earn the right to challenge either GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Championship or Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WWE SummerSlam. On the women’s side, Jade Cargill battles Asuka in the Queen of the Ring final, with the winner securing a SummerSlam title match against either Tiffany Stratton or IYO SKY, depending on brand alignment.

The United States Championship will also be on the line as Jacob Fatu defends against Solo Sikoa. The two former allies have been at odds since Fatu betrayed Sikoa during the Money in the Bank Ladder Match earlier this month, denying him the opportunity to become briefcase holder. Their rivalry has escalated with multiple heated altercations, setting the stage for a highly personal title clash.

Elsewhere on the card, Sami Zayn looks for redemption following his tournament loss to Orton by taking on Karrion Kross, who is competing in his first premium live event match since WrestleMania 40.

In the women’s division, former Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley will go to war with Raquel Rodriguez in a Street Fight, continuing their intense rivalry born from friendship gone wrong.
