Oba Femi defeated Jey Uso in the finals of the 2026 King of the Ring tournament at WWE Night of Champions, winning the King of the Ring crown. The Night of Champions premium live event opened with the tournament final, according to event coverage. After the victory Oba Femi declared, "You can't beat fate. You can't beat destiny. You can't beat ME." Social posts following the match asserted Oba Femi is being positioned for a SummerSlam main event and speculated about possible opponents including Roman Reigns, Bron Breakker, and Cody Rhodes. The Night of Champions card also featured Charlotte Flair interrupting Jade Cargill's U.S. Title bid earlier in the show, which situates Femi's win as the event opener rather than the card climax.
