WWE Night of Champions premium live event is scheduled to take place this Saturday at the Jeddah Superdome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Seven matches are confirmed for the event including five Championship bouts.
Night of Champions is starting at 1 p.m. ET and the kickoff show is one hour prior to the main card at 12 p.m. Fans in the United States have able to watch the show on Peacock and others can watch the event on WWE Network as usual.
Here are the 2023 WWE Night of Champions Predictions
Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens vs. Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship
Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens won the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles by defeating The Usos at WrestleMania 39. The Usos were unable to win the gold in a rematch on the April 28th episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
Last week, Roman Reigns made his return to SmackDown and blamed Usos after failing to regain the championships. Paul Heyman then announced that Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa will face Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens for Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles at Night of Champions. The Triable Chief then said that the match will be dedicated to The Wild Samoans.
In the past few weeks, fans witnessed some conflicts between The Bloodline members. Last week, Roman Reigns almost confronted Solo Sikoa. Therefore, it will be so interesting to see Sikoa suffer a pinfall loss this Saturday. The Spotlight and fans really want to see how The Tribal Chief reacts to it. Our Prediction: Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens retain their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles.
Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus
The storyline between Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus began on the April 17th episode of Monday Night RAW. In that show, Stratus attacked Lynch following the Women’s Tag Team Championship match. Two weeks ago, Becky Lynch made her return to take revenge on Stratus.
This past Monday on RAW, a contract signing took place for the match between Lynch and Stratus at Night of Champions. Becky Lynch was able to make the feud more interesting by bringing Stratus’ controversial barking segment in the Attitude Era. Our Prediction: Becky Lynch wins the match.
Rhea Ripley vs. Natalya for the SmackDown Women’s Championship
Rhea Ripley defeated Dana Brooke on the May 8th episode of Monday Night RAW. Following the match, Natalya came to the ring and indicate that she will challenge for Ripley's title. Our Prediction: Rhea Ripley retains her SmackDown Women’s Championship.
Bianca Belair vs. Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship
Bianca Belair successfully retained her RAW Women’s Championship by defeating Asuka at WrestleMania 39. Belair was supposed to celebrate her 400 days title reign two weeks ago on SmackDown. However, Asuka interrupted Belair and spat the green mist on Belair’s face. Our Prediction: Bianca Belair retains her RAW Women’s Championship.

Gunther vs. Mustafa Ali for the Intercontinental Championship
Last week on RAW, Mustafa Ali earned an Intercontinental Championship opportunity by winning a Battle Royal. This past Monday, Ali was interviewed by Byron Saxton. Brock Lesnar disrupted the interview and gave Ali a piece of valuable advice. Lesnar told Ali “Get a life, kid.” Our Prediction: Gunther retains his Intercontinental Championship.
Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar
The storyline between Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar began on the April 3rd episode of Monday Night RAW, where Lesnar turned heel and attacked Rhodes. The two stars then faced each other at the Backlash premium live event earlier this month. The American Nightmare picked up the victory in the match.
Cody Rhodes then competed in the second triple-threat match of the World Heavyweight Championship tournament. However, Brock Lesnar cost Cody Rhodes' World Heavyweight Title opportunity and challenged him to a match at Night of Champions. This past Monday, Lesnar brutally attacked Rhodes, which resulted in Rhodes sustaining a broken arm (storyline).
The Beast is 0-1 in the feud. Therefore, Brock Lesnar should win this time to continue the storyline into SummerSlam. We don’t think they will collide at Money in the Bank on July 1st. Instead, Cody Rhodes could be in the Money in the Bank ladder match. So, Lesnar can cost Rhodes’ opportunity again. Our Prediction: Brock Lesnar wins the match.
Seth "Freakin" Rollins vs. AJ Styles for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Two weeks ago, Seth Rollins advanced to the finals of the World Heavyweight Championship tournament by defeating Finn Balor on the May 8th episode of RAW. AJ Styles defeated Bobby Lashley to advance to the finals on the May 12th episode of SmackDown.
However, Seth Rollins and AJ Styles didn’t come face-to-face due to the brand split. Rollins also didn’t appear on Monday Night RAW since May 8th. Instead, WWE aired Rollins' interview segments with Corey Graves. Meanwhile, Styles was involved in a brief feud with Karrion Kross.
Seth Rollins and AJ Styles are two of the very best in sports entertainment. Both of them deserve to be the champion. However, Triple H introduced the new title to protect the product from part-timer Roman Reigns. Rollins was recently spotted on the set of an MCU movie. Rollins could receive more opportunities in Hollywood. Hence, the fans deserve a full-time champion. Our Prediction: AJ Styles wins the World Heavyweight Championship.
