RIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- Night of Champions, one of the WWE’s most storied Premium Live Events, took place in front of a sold out crowd of 27,000+ at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The WWE has been showing the first hour of its PLE’s live on ESPN TV since WrestleMania, so for NOC, they decided to go all in with the closing of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, showing both matches in the free first hour.
Despite the highly debated decisions on who made it to the finals, the WWE still delivered two fine matches, and the WWE’s newest royalty has now been crowned.
King of the Ring: Oba Femi defeats Jey Uso
Coming into the finals match between Oba Femi and Jey Uso, it was very clear who should win. That would be Oba Femi, the newest WWE megastar and the man who temporarily retired Brock Lesnar after destroying him at WrestleMania. Because of Brock Lesnar though, and the threat that he posed to interfere and cost Femi this finals match, many believed that Jey Uso could pull off the impossible and knock Oba off.
