Why WWE Should Crown Oba Femi King of the Ring and Finally Put The Title on Sami Zayn by NWO Sparrow

My WWE Night of Champions Predictions: A New King, A New Champion, and Several Tough Calls by NWO Sparrow

Jey Uso vs. Oba Femi King of the Ring Tournament Final

This feels like a passing-of-the-torch moment. Jey Uso has already proven he belongs in the main event conversation, but WWE has a chance to create a new star here. A SummerSlam title match involving Jey and Roman Reigns doesn't excite me the way it would have a few years ago. That chapter has already been explored. Oba Femi, meanwhile, feels like a fresh option with unlimited upside. WWE has spent months presenting him as a future centerpiece, and this is the type of stage where those plans become reality. If creative is serious about elevating the powerhouse, there is only one outcome that makes sense. Oba Femi wins the King of the Ring tournament.

Iyo Sky vs. Liv Morgan Queen of the Ring Tournament Final

Liv Morgan's run through the tournament has been surprising, especially considering how crowded the women's division has become. Still, reaching the finals suggests WWE has major plans for her moving forward. There are intriguing possibilities regardless of who advances. A showdown between Liv and Rhea Ripley writes itself, while Iyo challenging her former ally would add another layer of emotion to the SummerSlam card.

Even with those scenarios in play, I keep coming back to Iyo Sky. Her in-ring performances have consistently delivered, and a Queen of the Ring victory would feel like a natural next step. Iyo Sky wins the Queen of the Ring tournament.

Trick Williams vs. Ricky Saints WWE United States Championship

Credit to Ricky Saints for adapting to life on SmackDown. The transition has had its ups and downs, but he's slowly finding his rhythm. The bigger story, however, is Trick Williams. Few performers have more momentum right now. Crowds are invested, his confidence continues to grow, and the championship has benefited from being around his waist. Taking the title away this soon would halt that progress for no real reason. I'm going to say Trick Williams retains the United States Championship.

Bron Breakker vs. Seth Rollins Steel Cage Match

This is the hardest match on the card to figure out.

Before the injury setback, Bron Breakker looked destined for a major breakout. The question now is where he fits into WWE's crowded main-event picture. A loss would cool him off, while a statement victory could quickly put him back in the spotlight. Rollins can survive a defeat without losing credibility. Breakker stands to gain much more from escaping the cage with his hand raised. I think Bron Breakker defeats Seth Rollins , and set a 6 man tag match with Logan , Theory , and The Street Profits.

Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther vs. Sami Zayn Triple Threat Match for the Undisputed WWE Championship

Maybe this is wishful thinking, but Sami Zayn feels like the emotional choice. Cody Rhodes has already established himself as the face of the company, while Gunther will remain a threat no matter what happens. Sami is the wildcard. Fans have spent years rallying behind him, and opportunities like this don't come around often. If WWE truly believes he can carry the company's top prize, now is the time to prove it. Otherwise, you have to wonder when that moment will ever arrive. I predict Sami Zayn wins the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Tiffany Stratton vs. Jade Cargill WWE Women's United States Championship

This might be the toughest championship match to call.

The title looks tailor-made for Tiffany Stratton. Every appearance adds to her growing star power, and she continues to look comfortable as champion. On the other side is Jade Cargill, a performer who immediately commands attention whenever she walks through the curtain. Part of me wants to see Jade capture gold because she carries herself like a future face of the division. At the same time, there is value in letting her continue the chase a little longer. The rivalry with Rhea Ripley ending as quickly as it did still feels strange, but I expect Jade to work her way back into the championship picture sooner rather than later. So Ima go with Tiffany Stratton retaining the Women's United States Championship.
