Oba Femi Crowned King of the Ring After Stunning Victory Over Jey Uso

Oba Femi made history by defeating Main Event Jey Uso to become the 25th King of the Ring at WWE's Night of Champions event held at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, June 27, 2026. The rising superstar, known as The Ruler, secured the pinfall victory after a physical match that concluded with his signature Fall from Grace powerbomb. Following the match, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis officially presented the historic King of the Ring crown to Femi in the center of the ring.

The physical encounter saw Jey Uso mount a spirited offense, connecting with multiple suicide dives, superkicks, and two signature Uso Splashes that nearly secured the victory. However, Oba Femi's sheer power allowed him to kick out of the pinfall attempts and break free from a sleeper hold, the same submission Uso used to win the World Heavyweight Championship from Gunther at WrestleMania 41. Femi capitalized on his momentum with successive running uppercuts and a devastating throw across the ring to set up the final pinfall.

With this victory, Oba Femi earns a guaranteed championship opportunity of his choosing at the upcoming SummerSlam premium live event, stating his intention to challenge Roman Reigns. WWE enjoys a massive, highly active fan base in India, where millions of viewers followed the tournament brackets closely, signaling heightened anticipation for Femi's championship pursuit in the upcoming pay-per-view.
