IYO SKY Crowned 2026 Queen of the Ring at Night of Champions, Sets Up SummerSlam Title Shot

IYO SKY is the 2026 WWE Queen of the Ring, claiming the crown at Night of Champions in front of the crowd at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The tournament final was the second match of the evening, pitting IYO SKY against Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan. The bout had an unusual element working against Morgan — a curse courtesy of Danhausen, which factored into the outcome. SKY emerged victorious, capping off her run through the bracket and immediately positioning herself as a major player heading into the summer.

Following the win, SKY wasted no time making her next move clear, announcing her opponent for SummerSlam. With the Queen of the Ring traditionally serving as a launching pad toward championship contention, the stage appears set for a high-profile collision on one of WWE’s biggest annual stages.

For IYO SKY, this marks a significant moment. The former Women’s Champion has been one of WWE’s most reliable in-ring performers over the past few years, and a Queen of the Ring victory keeps her firmly in the upper tier of the women’s division. Winning the tournament while defeating the reigning champion in the final only adds to the prestige of the result.

Night of Champions continues from Riyadh, with the Queen of the Ring final already standing as one of the more memorable moments of the evening.
