Gunther & Nick Aldis Get Involved In Post-Show Altercation Angle at WWE Night of Champions 2026

As noted before, Saturday’s WWE Night of Champions 2026 event at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia featured Sami Zayn defeating Cody Rhodes and Gunther in a Triple Threat match to become the new Undisputed WWE Championship.

Following the show, a very frustrated Gunther confronted SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis that led to a physical altercation breaking out between the two.

Gunther asked Aldis if he was happy because he lost the title match again and the two exchange heated words. Gunther then stated that Aldis was jealous of him and called Aldis a failed wrestler. This then led to Gunther and Aldis shoving each other as WWE officials rushed in to break it up and separate the two.
