WWE Releases Behind-The-Scenes Look At Night Of Champions
One week after the WWE Premium Live Event, Night of Champions, the promotion released a behind-the-scenes look at the show. The over 6-minute video has the likes of Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, and Mustafa Ali speaking about the crowd reactions as well as their own then-upcoming matches.
Night of Champions took place at the Jeddah Superdome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The show's main event saw Owens and Zayn retain the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles against The Bloodline's Reigns and Solo Sikoa. It was when Jimmy Uso turned on Reigns, which cost him the titles.
Also, during the event, Rollins became the inaugural WWE World Heavyweight Champion after defeating Styles in the World Heavyweight Championship tournament finals, while Asuka defeated Bianca Belair to become the new "WWE Raw" Champion. Interconteial Champion GUNTHER and "SmackDown" Women's Champion Rhea Ripley were two others to retain their titles.
The only non-title matches saw WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus defeat Becky Lynch (with the help of former "NXT" Women's Tag Team Champion Zoey Stark) and Brock Lesnar defeat Cody Rhodes via referee stoppage. Rhodes had passed out from the Kimura Lock.
The next WWE Premium Live Event is WWE Money in the Bank. Money in the Bank will be taking place on July 1 at the O2 Arena in London, England. After Money in the Bank will be one of WWE's biggest events, SummerSlam, which is on August 5.
