What matches headline the Night of Champions preview and where does the show air?
Welcome to the Night of Champions preview show here on WWE Now. Megan Morant, can you believe it? We are on the precipice of the night dedicated to champions on a night where we will not only have one, two, three title matches, but a cage match, grudge match, and the finals of the King and the Queen of the Ring, a huge six-match show. Are you pumped? Is there anything you're most excited for?
The culmination of the King and Queen of the Ring tournament. Yes. And man, when this bracket came out, we all put together our wildest, craziest ideas. And for me myself, I overcomplicated the thing.
You did.
Overcomplicated. To see Io Sky and Liv Morgan in the finals for the women's, That makes sense. We're talking about the women's world champion in Liv Morgan, and we're talking about one of the best wrestlers on the planet, Io Sky. And on the men's side, of course, Oba Femi in the finals. And former world heavyweight champion Jey Uso.
Yeah, do you think Jey Uso's a surprise, or do you think he resents the fact that some people think that he's a surprise?
I think the latter. He definitely resents the fact.
Yes. Yes. And that's why he runs it back now.
Mm-hmm.
For all the haters.
Run it back.
Right. The weaponized run it back, as we talked about on Raw Recap. That Jey Uso is such a big part of it. Well, let's talk about these matches then, okay? So, of course, the first hour is going to be live on ESPN proper.
The worldwide leader.
That's right. And the first hour will have the King and Queen of the Ring finals on it. Let's talk about the King of the Ring finals. I mean, let's talk about Obafemi. The fact that I think that you're right when you say overcomplicated, that people think of a million reasons why it wouldn't happen. And I think that that's the fun of a single elimination tournament is that you end up with matches that you wouldn't otherwise have.
We love upsets.
Of course.
You know, when March Madness comes around, you love when a 16 seed goes on to be a Cinderella story.
Yes. And this is not that different from that in the sense that, like, somebody goes on and gets a championship match at SummerSlam. And it could be because of just the way tournaments work. Somebody that you would think would never get that shot at SummerSlam. But sometimes... The number one seed wins.
The blue bloods.
Yeah. Sometimes the people that it's like, well, obviously there's a reason why it's well, obviously. And I think Obafemi being in the final, while I understand that not everybody's bracket was perfect, it probably shouldn't surprise anybody.
No, not at all. I mean, Obafemi personifies that type of dominance, right? Yeah. I mean, everything he's done since he's stepped foot on the main roster, and especially in Obafemi, that's coming off a loss.
He hates losses.
To Brock Lesnar. I think Obafemi made a statement the first round, that fatal four-way match, when he just completely decimated everyone.
Solo, penta, penta.
Ricky Saints.
Ricky Saints.
I mean, he made Solo look like a small boy, and Solo is not a small boy.
And by the way, Tala Tonga was at ringside as well. He took care of that too. Yeah. I kind of feel like at that point you realize like, oh, that's right. I think that sometimes people go like, coming off of a loss like that, you go, oh, maybe Oba was like the dominant guy, but now that Brock's beat him, he's human.
Maybe he put him in his place a little bit. Right. But Oba, that being said, not so fast.
No, we're going back to what we were doing before. Nothing's changed. That's been the story of Obafemi in the tournament. Nothing's changed to the point where then he goes through Dominic Mysterio. And it's like, nothing's changed. And Dominic tries every trick. And there were multiple times where I think both of us were like, maybe it's going to be Dominic.
Yeah. And even JD McDonough was like, you know what? I got to get out of this guy Obafemi's way.
I should go.
How did the King and Queen of the Ring brackets shape expectations for Oba Femi and Jey Uso?
Probably.
And then Obafemi was like, wait, before you go, I'm going to steamroll you. I'm going to take care of that. I mean, the hammer in the shoe, nothing, nothing could help Dominic Mysterio.
