Main Body

The title change happened during the Night of Champions event in Riyadh, where Zayn defeated the current champion, Cody Rhodes, and his opponent Gunther. The match ended when Zayn stopped a final attack from Rhodes to win by pinfall. This victory made Zayn a grand slam champion, a success he credited to more than twenty years of hard work. To show respect to the local culture, Zayn wore traditional Saudi clothing, which was well-received by the crowd in Riyadh.

這次冠軍易主發生在利雅德的 Night of Champions 活動中,Zayn 擊敗了現任冠軍 Cody Rhodes 及其對手 Gunther。在 Zayn 截斷 Rhodes 的最後一次攻擊後,他以壓制法贏得比賽。這次勝利使 Zayn 成為大滿貫冠軍,他將此成功歸功於二十多年來的努力。為了表達對當地文化的尊重,Zayn 穿著沙烏地阿拉伯傳統服裝,受到了利雅德觀眾的熱烈歡迎。

Reactions to this result have been mixed. Some colleagues, including Kevin Owens and Becky Lynch, praised Zayn's achievement on social media. However, some fans were unhappy, arguing that the decision was based on regional popularity rather than strategy. After the match, Gunther got into a physical fight with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis.

對此結果的反應褒貶不一。包括 Kevin Owens 和 Becky Lynch 在內的一些同事在社交媒體上讚揚了 Zayn 的成就。然而,部分粉絲表示不滿,認為此決定是基於地區知名度而非策略。賽後,Gunther 與 SmackDown 總經理 Nick Aldis 發生了肢體衝突。

At the same time, Oba Femi won the King of the Ring tournament by beating Jey Uso, which means he can choose any championship to challenge for at the next SummerSlam event. Furthermore, Iyo Sky won the Queen of the Ring final against Liv Morgan. Sky then announced that she plans to challenge Morgan for the Women’s World Championship at SummerSlam, which will take place on August 1 and 2 at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

與此同時,Oba Femi 通過擊敗 Jey Uso 贏得 King of the Ring 錦標賽,這意味著他可以在接下來的 SummerSlam 活動中選擇任何一項冠軍頭銜進行挑戰。此外,Iyo Sky 在 Queen of the Ring 決賽中擊敗了 Liv Morgan。Sky 隨後宣布,她計劃在 SummerSlam 挑戰 Morgan 爭奪女子世界冠軍,該賽事將於 8 月 1 日至 2 日在明尼阿波利斯的 U.S. Bank Stadium 舉行。
