Welcome to PWInsider.com’s coverage of WWE Night of Champions from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Your host is Joe Tessitore.  He is joined by Peter Rosenberg and Big E.

Michael Cole and Corey Graves join the panel from the arena.

The discussion moves on to the Queen of the Ring finals.

Jackie Redmond interviewed Liv Morgan.

She brings up what Liv has done in 2026.

Liv says this is a lifetime of work she has put into and it has been 12 years.  She has reaped the fruits of her labor.  She has changed and adapt to be the best.  

Jackie asks about Judgment Day.

She says it is a united front.  They are a family and a victory for one is a victory for the group.

Jackie asks is Liv would have any problems if she had to face Roxanne or Raquel.

Liv says she is not happy that Roxanne or Raquel did not advance but that was not how the hand was dealt.

Jackie asks about facing Rhea if she wins and if that motivated her.

Liv says she knows how great Rhea is but she has beaten her at SummerSlam.  Liv says she entered because no one on Raw wanted to challenge her.  She had to prove that she is the greatest.

Jackie asks about what Iyo said on Monday about Liv.

Liv says Iyo is scared of her confidence.  She has faced Iyo before and never beat her one on one.  Iyo is one of the best.

Byron is asked about Iyo Sky and her preparation for the Queen of the Ring.

We take a look at Sami Zayn being in the WWE Title match with a video package.

We take a look at the Women's United States Title match.

Byron is with Tiffany and he asks how has she prepared.

Tiffany says she went away to refocus.  They have a history and they will play to her strengths and weaknesses.

Byron asks about history repeating itself.

Tiffany says she was not at 100 percent the last time they met for a title.  She is 100 percent tonight and she will have what it takes to win.

We take a look at the Men's US Title match with a video package.

Trick Williams joins the panel.

Joe asks about his mindset.

Trick says he is locked in and focused.  His marriage won't get in the way.  He will go down as one of the greatest champions.

Pete asks if what Ricky did to Yachty affects things.

Trick says they were looking past Ricky to elevate the title.  Now Ricky has their attention.  Yachty will be there and he will get his back.

Big E asks if he might be too confident today.

Trick says he doesn't let things bother him.

We have a video package for the steel cage match.

We have a video for Gunther about the WWE Title match.

We go to Cole and Graves in the arena and talk about the path to SummerSlam.  They talk about teh Steel Cage match, which will start off the 2nd hour of the PPV.

The panel talks about Queen of the Ring.

The panel talks about King of the Ring.

Jackie talked to Jey Uso.

She asks him about his success over the last few years and the different attitudes.

Jey says he is confused half the time.  He says right now, this version is the realest version.  He wears his heart on his sleeve.  He is family first.  That will never change him.  He will be there for his family.

Jackie asks about Jey's return to Roman iand if there is the same structure.

Jey says they are equals, but Roman is an elder and you don't understand if you are not part of it.

Jackie asks what does it mean to be King of the Ring.

Jey says it puts him back in the title picture.  He wants to shock the world again.

Jackie reminds Jey that to win, he had to beat Oba Femi.

Jey says Oba is another chapter in his book he has to rip out.

She asks how does he prepare.

Jey says he just does it.  Oba is new and big as hell..  Jey says he has heart and he will step up to anyone.  He says he is nervous going up against a bigger opponent.  This is Oba.  The next time he talks to her, he will be the WWE Champion.

We go to a video package for Cody Rhodes about the title match.

Big E interviewed Bron while working out.

Big E asks if Bron is preparing differently for this match.  Bron says he trains for failure and he wants to push his body to the limit.  He says Seth will break.

Big E asks why is he still inovlved with Seth.

He says Seth could have walked away.  They are not buddies.  Seth isn't a killer.  How stupid is he to get into a steel cage with him.  You know what you are going to get.  It is time to put Seth to bed and get into the World TItle picture.

Big E asks if the cage boxes him in.

Bron says Seth has been in a number of cage matches.  You don't mess with him.

We are back with a look back at the night that Austin 3:16 debuted.

Danhausen interrupts and talks about what happens if he wins.

Cole tells Danhausen he is not in the King of the Ring.

Byron asks Paul Levesque about the feeling about tonight.

He says it is always a great experience.

It is always loud in the buidling.

The aura is important. Talent can break out and break through. It is a way to get to SummerSlam. Jey and Oba will be great. It will be a huge night.

Byron asks how much does being King of the Ring mean to him.

It is a platform to move on to bigger and better things. It launches so many people’s careers.
