It was reported several days ago by #BWE (Boozer on Twitter) that WWE was considering having the World Heavyweight Championship match between Seth Rollins and AJ Styles open tonight’s Night of Champions show in Saudi Arabia.
PWInsider confirmed today that this is indeed the case and #BWE added that the reason for this is that Seth Rollins will be flying out of Saudi Arabia immediately to resume his movie commitment.
The Brock Lesnar vs. Cody Rhodes match is being set up to be a short match because Rhodes has a storyline “broken arm” that could be a setup for a rubber match next month or at a future PLE this summer.
PWInsider is reporting that the plan is to close out the show with the Undisputed WWE World Tag Team Title match that will feature Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defending against Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa.
Here is the card for Night of Champions:
WWE World Heavyweight Championship – Tournament Final
Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles
Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar
Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn (Champions) vs. Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa
