The WWE champions evening will take place on June 28, 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Triple H and his team have less than three weeks to build a good match card and the promotions that surround it.
However, this week’s RAW episode has seen the promotion based in Stamford already making three major errors before the premium live event.
# 3 WWE has spoiled Asuka’s return
The WWE universe has opened since the reaction in 2024 to see the return of Asuka. Fighting his last match at the event in Lyon, France, the Empress of tomorrow lost the female team championship alongside Kairi Sane in Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. The Japanese star was on an interruption linked to the injury after the match and treated a knee injury.
This week on WWE RAW, an Asuka video package has been shown. This was followed by the revelation that the triple female world champion will return to the show on Monday evening next week and will participate in the Queen of the Ring tournament. It was a big mistake because he spoiled the return of 43 years.
Several best stars have returned this year, including Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, who had been missing WWE for over two years. The pop they received, especially Lexi, was phenomenal, and the same could have happened with Asuka. However, the early revelation will now reduce its effect.
# 2 Punk cm bite to John Cena
CM Punk interrupted the segment in John Cena’s ring in this week’s show. The second saint of the city reminded him of his opportunistic victory in the 2025 elimination chamber which helped him win the undisputed Wrestlemania 41 championship. He also fired on the unknown of the character he had at his peak.
Finally, since the WWE world champion in 17 times has demanded the competition, the second City Saint challenged it for its title. The unheard of Seventeen said Punk would have drawn the night of champions in Saudi Arabia, which is problematic for several reasons.
WWE has hardly time to build this quarrel, with only two weeks of RAW on the left on Night of Champions. This would mean that things would be above all tested by the emblematic rivalry already shared by John Cena and CM Punk.
The superstar Straight Edge also criticized the company’s 10 years agreement with Saudi Arabia, the labeling “Blood Money” in 2019. In addition, a match of this stature deserves a place during a live premium live event, such as Summerslam, where he would receive the media and the necessary accumulation.
# 1 not giving Cody Rhodes a title shot
Cody Rhodes returned to the main event on Saturday evening of last month to save Jey Uso from Logan Paul and an interferring John Cena. It was his first appearance since his indisputable defeat to the franchise player in Wrestlemania 41. The US nightmare also declared a team match between him and Jey USO against Paul and Cena to be fought in the bank.
The match has become the main event of the Los Angeles Premium Live event and saw Cody Rhodes pin John Cena for the victory. Despite this, the former undisputed championship holder was denied a title shot, CM Punk being favored on him instead.
This could lead to the momentum of Rhodes and thwart the continuity of his quarrel with Cena. It would be interesting to see what awaits us for these stars when approaching the night of champions.
