Follow live coverage of WWE Night of Champions 2025 from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, headlined by an iconic clash between Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena and his longtime on-screen rival CM Punk.

Orton served as Rhodes' mentor in the earliest stages of his career in WWE and now the two meet at storied veterans looking to get back to the mountaintop. In the women's final, Asuka is set to take on Jade Cargill and there are plenty of interesting ways that match and the following title build could go.

Before Rhodes could speak, Orton's music hit. The Viper put over Rhodes for beating Jey Uso to get to the finals before the show cut to a different angle. This was the segment that experienced technical difficulties in the arena, so all of the footage looked a little grainy.
