Sami Zayn earns WWE Championship shot at Royal Rumble 2026

Local hero Sami Zayn became the number one contender for the WWE Championship last night on Saturday Night’s Main Event which took place from his hometown of Montreal.

The four-way match to determine who goes on to the Royal Rumble main evented the show, with Randy Orton, Damian Priest, and Trick Williams also part of the match.

The match ended when Priest hit a Razor’s Edge on Zayn, but instead went after Williams in the corner, leaving enough time for Zayn to recover and hit Priest with the Helluva Kick as soon as he got done with Williams. A three-count later and Zayn got his ticket to Riyadh and a chance to win the big one.

After the match, Drew McIntyre came in the ring to try and attack Zayn, but the former IC champion was ready and threw McIntyre out of the ring.

The show ended with Zayn on the ropes celebrating as fireworks went off inside Bell Centre.
