The Three Most Amazing Moments at Night of Champions 2026, Ranked

Night of Champions was an incredible PLE for WWE. There were less adds, great matches, great match outcomes, and more. But here are the three best moments of the night…

#3 Iyo Sky Wins Queen of the Ring

Iyo Sky has been an amazing women’s performer for WWE especially in the ring. She really deserved a title shot at SummerSlam as the best in ring wrestler in the women’s division. I hope she wins at the biggest party of the Summer and then has a lengthy title reign. But most importantly this was a great moment because Liv Morgan did NOT win. Morgan is already a world champion and therefore it would be awkward if she had two matches at SummerSlam (one as challenger and one as champion). Good job Iyo.

#2 Oba Femi Wins King of the Ring

There have been lots of rumors that Jey Uso would be Crowned King at NOC. There was even a high possibility that would happen as Jey Uso had a whole storyline about how he was going to fight Cody at SummerSlam. Fans would not only be disappointed if Jey won, but Oba Femi would lose all his momentum. But WWE didn’t fail this time by making Oba Femi, KING Oba.

#1 Sami Zayn is NEW WWE CHAMPION!!!

Sami Zayn has worked his butt of to get to this position. He has had great match after great match. Great storyline after great storyline. Great promo after great promo. But never won the WWE or World Championship despite having 9 attempts. Turns out on his 10th attempt Zayn pulls through with a victory that shocked the whole world. People thought Cody would win. I thought Gunther would win. Who’s the odd man out? Sami Zayn. Nobody saw this coming and that is what made this moment so incredibly special. WWE fans complained that the product was too predictable (which WAS true), so WWE decided to spice things up and have an unpredictable win. (Let’s not forget that the match that led to this was an absolute banger)
