Oba Femi and IYO SKY both left WWE Night of Champions 2026 with crowns, title shots, and Triple H making sure everyone knew it.
After Oba defeated Jey Uso in the King of the Ring tournament finals, Triple H took to Instagram and reacted with his signature pointing gesture. The win made Oba the 25th King of the Ring in WWE history and earned him a major title opportunity at SummerSlam later this year in Minnesota.
“Add another accolade to the career of OBA FEMI. The Ruler is now the KING. #WWENOC”
That was not the only royal moment of the night. IYO SKY also defeated Liv Morgan to win the 2026 Queen of the Ring tournament, and her prize is a Women’s World Title match against Morgan at SummerSlam. Triple H gave IYO her own shoutout as well, reacting with her signature gesture after the win.
“It’s official. She is the QUEEN of the Sky. Congratulations to our 2026 @WWE Queen of the Ring…IYO SKY! #WWENOC”
WWE made it clear on commentary that Oba will reveal his SummerSlam decision on the upcoming episode of Monday Night Raw. That means the new King gets another big stage after Night of Champions, while IYO already has her championship direction locked in against Liv Morgan.
This is a massive night for both winners. Oba beating Jey Uso gives him the kind of statement win that can launch him deeper into the main event picture, while IYO knocking off Liv Morgan puts her right back in the Women’s World Title scene on one of WWE’s biggest stages of the year.
Triple H’s public reactions only made the moment feel bigger. Oba is now The Ruler with a crown, IYO is officially the Queen of the Sky, and both are walking out of Night of Champions with SummerSlam gold in their sights.
