A few major changes were announced for Saturday’s Night of Champions on Monday night.
Two bouts were added to the Premium Live Event (PLE), and another was removed from the card following the latest episode of Raw.
It was announced on Monday night that a planned WWE Intercontinental Championship match between Dominik Mysterio and AJ Styles has been removed from the card, with Raw General Manager Nick Aldis stating that an injury has forced Mysterio out of the lineup.
🚨| Adam Pearce has announced that Dominik Mysterio is injured, and his match against AJ Styles at Night of Champions is officially cancelled.

It’s unclear at the moment whether Mysterio’s injury is legitimate or how long he will be unable to wrestle. Aldis promised Styles that he’ll get a chance to face Mysterio once he’s cleared to compete once again.
Later in the night, two grudge matches were made official for Saturday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
It was confirmed that Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez will battle it out under a street fight ruleset. The matchup was finalized after a brawl broke out between the two on Raw, with Rodriguez calling out Ripley for costing her a spot in the Queen of the Ring semi-finals.
Roxanne Perez helped Rodriguez get the upper hand in their fight, and under street fight rules, might be able to do so once again this weekend.
Also signed for the show was a singles match between Sami Zayn and Karrion Kross.
Zayn became fed up with Kross’ backstage preaching after he successfully predicted that the Canadian talent would lose to Randy Orton in his King of the Ring semi-final bout. After striking Kross in the face during a backstage segment, Zayn confirmed that a match between them has been made official.
The bout will be Kross’ first PLE appearance since Wrestlemania XL in April 2024.
Here’s an updated look at Saturday’s card, which has a start time of 1 p.m. ET:
- Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez (Street Fight)
- Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross
- Asuka vs. Jade Cargill (Queen of the Ring Final)
- Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes (King of the Ring Final)
- Jacob Fatu vs. Solo Sikoa (WWE United States Championship)
- John Cena vs. CM Punk (Undisputed WWE Championship)
