WWE Adds Cena vs Punk to Night of Champions

WWE has announced the return of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, which will begin with four Fatal 4-Way matches in both men's and women's divisions on the June 9 episode of Raw. Winners will advance directly to the semifinals, with the tournaments becoming co-branded at that stage and concluding with the finals at Night of Champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on June 28, 2025. The victors will earn world title shots at the first-ever two-night SummerSlam event at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on August 2-3, 2025. This follows the precedent set in 2024 when both tournament winners captured championships. Jade Cargill and Charlotte Flair are among the names hinted at for participation. Additionally, General Manager Adam Pearce is preparing to make a John Cena vs. CM Punk title match official for Night of Champions, pending final confirmation.
