Khel Now names seven best WWE matches of 2026

Khel Now has compiled a ranking of the seven best WWE matches of 2026, led by the Bron Breakker versus Oba Femi encounter at Sunday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta on September 6, which ended without a decisive winner after Bronson Reed interfered. The list draws from matches across WWE’s shows and PLEs this year.

WWE supplied a mix of marquee headliners and rising talent throughout 2026, producing high-stakes encounters on weekly television and premium events. Khel Now’s selection highlights bouts involving Roman Reigns, Rhea Ripley, CM Punk, Liv Morgan and others, covering title matches and dramatic rematches. The list aims to showcase both established stars and breakthrough performances from the year.

Bron Breakker and Oba Femi met at Sunday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta on September 6 with a billed claim of being the future of WWE on the line; the two hard-hitting competitors produced a major showdown. Their match concluded without a definitive winner after Bronson Reed interfered, preventing a clean finish. Khel Now included that unresolved contest among its top seven matches of 2026.

Rhea Ripley challenged Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 42 in April in Las Vegas, producing a hard-hitting encounter between two of the division’s top names. Ripley emerged victorious in that bout to win the World title, and Khel Now ranked the match among the year’s best. Liv Morgan and Stephanie Vaquer also featured prominently: their RAW rematch last week was a main event that Khel Now judged superior to their WrestleMania meeting, ending with Morgan cheating to claim victory while Vaquer gained a measure of revenge days later.

Perhaps one of the greatest AAA bouts in recent memory, the match pitting Original El Grande Americano against El Grande Americano was a bloodied, high-stakes encounter. The contest ended with El Grande defeating the Original one and, per the stipulation, removing his mask to reveal himself as Chad Gable. Khel Now included that mask-versus-mask outcome in its seven top matches of 2026.

Penta’s World title match with Roman Reigns on RAW in Mexico City was listed for its competitive drama; Penta pushed Reigns to the limit in front of his home fans. Although Penta did not capture the title, Khel Now noted that he “came out as a winner even in defeat” after the performance in Mexico City. The match was used in the ranking to illustrate a main-event-caliber showing from a luchador.

Sami Zayn’s ninth day as Undisputed WWE Champion featured a title defense against the returning CM Punk, who replaced Cody Rhodes after Rhodes failed to get medical clearance in time following a backstage attack by Gunther. The Second City Saint confronted Zayn in Chicago and defeated him to win the Undisputed WWE Championship. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns closed SummerSlam 2026 Night 2 in the main event, where Reigns defeated Rollins to retain his World Heavyweight Championship in what Khel Now described as a concluding chapter of their rivalry.

Days after their RAW encounter, Stephanie Vaquer received a title rematch in her hometown of Chile and defeated Liv Morgan to win the WWE Women’s World Championship. Khel Now included Vaquer’s title-winning match among its seven best WWE matches of 2026.
