WWE recently changed the name of their upcoming Saudi Arabia pay-per-view from ‘King & Queen Of The Ring’ to ‘Night Of Champions.’ The event will take place on May 27 in Jeddah.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the name change was simply a booking decision and WWE will explain the move after Backlash 2023 and in the build to the gala event.
On the latest episode of his Kliq This podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash expressed his desire to see Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns’ title reign hit 1,000 days. Roman is currently at 964 days. Nash said,
“That close to 1,000 you have to. It would be like if Ripken had turf toe and had taken a day off. There’s certain milestones and now he’s close to 1,000. You’re only gonna be as successful as your f***ing top guy, and Roman’s the top guy right now. Roman has the cool factor. Roman’s your money guy.”
“If I would’ve beaten Bret [Hart] out of the shoot, I think absolutely Diesel has a much better f***in run, but the fact that they wouldn’t commit and put the f***in eggs in the basket … I think that it hurt me and I think that they weren’t ready to make that commitment.“
