Clash at the Castle

Everything you need to know ahead of the WWE Clash at the Castle pay-per-view this Saturday.

Pick: The Judgement Day wins -- Mahjouri (also Brookhouse) There has been a desire to see the intercontinental title return to its former glory. Pick: Gunther retains the title -- Mahjouri (also Brookhouse) Rollins has gotten over on Riddle too many times in a row and now Riddle needs to get the win here to re-establish himself. Pick: Liv Morgan retains the title -- Brookhouse (also Mahjouri) Baszler gives Morgan the opportunity to face a Rousey-style opponent from the world of MMA and prove she can hang. The SummerSlam match with Ronda Rousey was something of a disaster, with Morgan winning because the referee missed her tapping out -- which is a terrible way to book a babyface champion. The SmackDown women's title and intercontinental championship will also both be on the line. Theory could cash in and take a pinfall, leading to some sort of convoluted outcome where Reigns and McIntyre split the two world titles. It's a big show with major stakes and the continuation of big storylines. Unfortunately, this match is set up with both belts on the line and I don't see WWE moving them both off of Reigns. The cut a promo earlier this week similar to that of UFC legends Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier where they were interviewed in separate rooms and screaming at each other.

The 2022 WWE Clash at the Castle saw Roman Reigns defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship vs. Drew McIntyre, plus a whole lot more action.

Riddle with a kick to the head, an up kick and Rollins came back with a forearm. Rollins with a forearm to the back of the head, but Riddle hit another knee to the head. Rollins with a thrust to the throat, Riddle with a kick and senton for two. Drew got a big ovation as he went into the ring with the sword in his hand as he posed on the turnbuckle. Riddle with the kick while on the apron with Rollins on the floor and Riddle hit the Floating Bro off the ropes onto Seth. Rey hit a headscissors on Balor into the ropes, but Balor hit a clothesline and kicked Rey out of the ring. Edge kicked Balor with a kick to the ribs and sent Priest over the top to the floor. Riddle with a back elbow to the face, but Rollins tripped up Riddle as he tried to climb to the top rope. Gunther to the turnbuckle, Sheamus back up, Gunther with hard palm strikes to the face and then Sheamus got back up with a kick. Asuka and Sky exchanged strike, then Sky got a rollup for two and Sky got a back kick to the chest. Sky made the tag, Asuka hit a dropkick on Bayley and Sky hit a missile dropkick off the top rope. Theory with a shot to the face, then Gable got the and a roll through int a German Suplex on Dawkins for two as Moss made the save.

McIntyre came within inches of winning the undisputed title in a match that saw involvement from Tyson Fury.

Rollins then tried to hit an RKO, but Riddle blocked the move and began to brutally attack Rollins with strikes before trying to hit Rollins with a chair. As Rollins rolled out of the ring, he was hit with a kick to the face before Riddle hit a Floating Bro to the outside. Fury then helped McIntyre to his feet and raised his hand before getting on the mic to tell McIntyre he did the country proud before singing "American Pie." The two then brawled, both hitting big moves before McIntyre hit a spear and a Claymore, seemingly having the match won when the referee was dragged from the ring by Solo Sikoa, the younger brother of The Usos, setting Reigns up for a spear to retain the title. McIntyre continued to take the fight to Reigns, clotheslining him over the top rope before throwing him into the barricade, ring apron and ring steps on the outside. Looking for a way to keep McIntyre down, Reigns locked in a guillotine choke but McIntyre smashed him into the turnbuckle to break the hold, only for Reigns to immediately lock it in again. Rollins then finished off the match with a stomp off the second rope for the win. Bayley then hit a Rose Plant and SKY hit a moonsault to allow Bayley to score the pin. Rollins hit a superplex and rolled through looking to continue the momentum, but Riddle was able to reverse into a fisherman buster and a knee to the jaw. Morgan was able to reach the ropes to break the hold and shortly after hit Oblivion to score the win. Baszler tried to stomp on Morgan's arm, but Morgan locked in a triangle and then an armbar to nearly score the submission. Baszler stomped her way out before a knee to the jaw nearly scored her the victory.

Roman Reigns got on the mic and asked Cardiff to acknowledge him. This was a clever heel turn after Dominick Mysterio helped Edge and Rey win, making it seem like WWE was going to delay the heel turn even more. The story of this match (Rollins using Matt Riddle’s anger against him) was great as this match got better the longer it went. Clash at the Castle saw the debut of Solo Sikoa, who cost Drew McIntyre the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. He did not wrestle in the mask. Dominick finally pulled the trigger on a heel turn, low-blowing Edge and clotheslining Rey Mysterio. Gunther set the bar for match of the weekend. He’s running away with Announcer of the Year. Sheamus vs. Sheamus for the Intercontinental Championship. Gunther was next. WWE Clash at the Castle 2022

Saturday in front of 70000 fans, WWE returned to the United Kingdom for a pay-per-view with Clash at the Castle. The crowd in Cardiff, Wales was hot all...

WWE used her as a dominant steamroller in NXT, but she has never been able to build the same momentum on the main roster. The turn was necessary, but where he goes from here is the mystery. He turned on them and then walked away on his own, so WWE is clearly torn on what to do here. However, his time in the main event picture has been much more limited in recent years. For the past several years, Sheamus has been one of WWE's most reliable and consistent performers. And fans of the main roster will now also get to enjoy their dominant style.

Reigns defeated Drew McIntyre in dramatic fashion, plus Liv Morgan and Gunther retained their titles in Cardiff.

Gunther has a solid amount of potential challengers, but with Imperium returning, the reunion offers not only a new wrinkle in the Smackdown tag division, but it also gives way to the real possibility of Imperium vs. When it looked like he would take the IC title with a Brogue Kick, Sheamus' back wouldn't give, leading to a second powerbomb from Gunther and a lariat which would make Stan Hansen proud for the three-count. Gunther told Sheamus he would chop him down until he was red and the Intercontinental champion delivered his promise with several open-palm and knife-edged chops to the chest, turning Sheamus a bright red. Baszler challenged for a title for the first time in over 900 days, and this felt like a filler feud for Morgan. He attempted an inverted superplex but settled for a two-footed stomp with Riddle in the Tree of Woe. McIntyre sent Reigns through the barricade with a spear of his own, followed by a Claymore attempt inside the ring, but Roman replied with a second spear. He attempted a chair shot with Rollins on the announce table but missed, leading to the pair of stomps that ended matters. Unable to secure the pinfall, Reigns went for a submission with the guillotine, but McIntyre escaped by driving Roman into the turnbuckle. He hit McIntyre with a Uranage but Drew responded with the Future Shock DDT. Reigns then told the crowd to "Acknowledge Me" before McIntyre connected with the first of many Glasgow Kisses. Heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury consoled McIntyre and led the crowd in a rendition of his trademark cover of "American Pie." Before a second referee could ring the bell, Fury connected with a big right hand that left Theory knocked out in a heap.

Solo Sikoa cost Drew McIntyre the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WWE Clash at the Castle.

As the more aloof, more calculating, and more dominant Head of the Table, Reigns carried the company on his back. WWE delivered in promoting its main event, airing a series of vignettes chronicling McIntyre and Reigns en route one of WWE’s biggest main events in years. With exclusively predictable results—where all of the favorites went over—and no surprise returns, Clash at the Castle came off as more of a house show. With a massive crowd on hand at Principality Stadium, the table was set for WWE to replicate a doubly historic win: A WWE aired a “Broken Dreams” video package prior to the match starting as the partisan crowd was solidly behind the hometown hero. The match saw the debut of Solo Sikoa, who pulled the referee out of the ring just as it seemed McIntyre was going to finally defeat Roman Reigns.

Roman Reigns retained his WWE Undisputed Universal Championship over Drew McIntyre in the WWE's return to Cardiff.

can watch it on BT Sport, while Australian's can watch the event on Foxtel and the WWE Network. And although she drew the biggest reactions out of the crowd, she played it well by tagging out before the chants overwhelmed the match. A Celtic Cross drew a near fall that had the crowd on the edge of their seat. But it was Kai's kick, Bayley's Roseplant and Io's moonsault that ended up putting Belair down for the count. The only thing that slightly hurt the match is that the finish was never in doubt. The two went through a phenomenal exchange of offense that ended with Rollins hitting a Pedigree for a near fall. Riddle's emotions got the best of him as he went for a chair shot that saw Rollins avoid and land a curb stomp, followed by an Avalanche Curb stomp for the finish. The fact that Rey and Dominick Mysterio have been entangled in this feud for as long as they have is also odd. Reigns slapped on a guillotine choke but McIntyre managed to power out and would spear Reigns through the barricade. Riddle rushed Rollins to open the match, which signaled that Rollins plan was in effect as Rollins routinely attempted to slow down his furious opponent. McIntyre looked on in bewilderment and was cut down by one last spear from Reigns for the finish. But the presence of the Usos younger brother gave Reigns the distraction he needed to escape as champion.

The only thing that slightly hurt the match is that the finish was never in doubt. Unfortunately, it was a challenge to present her as a scrappy underdog champion against one of the most violent women on the roster. The two went through a phenomenal exchange of offense that ended with Rollins hitting a Pedigree for a near fall. The fact that Rey and Dominick Mysterio have been entangled in this feud for as long as they have is also odd. Rollins planted the seeds from early in the feud and they sprouted at just the right time. Riddle's emotions got the best of him as he went for a chair shot that Rollins avoided. But "The Architect" had a plan that brilliantly played out. McIntyre looked on in bewilderment and was cut down by one last spear from Reigns for the finish. Reigns countered another Claymore Kick with a spear for yet another near fall that had those in attendance believing that this would be the night McIntyre ended The Tribal Chief's championship reign. But the presence of The Usos' younger brother gave Reigns the distraction he needed to escape.

WWE put on a stellar event at Clash at the Castle, and it all led up to the main event, the much-anticipated throwdown for the WWE Undisputed Universal ...

He finally did and Reigns went for the Spear but then he ran into a boot from McIntyre only to bounce off the ropes and spear McIntyre, but McIntyre kicked out from the cover. Reigns then locked in the Guillotine again in the center of the ring, but McIntyre wouldn't fade, and he slammed Reigns into the corner one more time. Reigns taunted the crowd and McIntyre hit with more big chops to the chest, but Reigns connected with more strikes and knocked him back down to the mat. Reigns then connected with numerous forearm strikes to McIntyre and then threw him into the post. Reigns collected himself and locked up with McIntyre and drove him back, but then McIntyre collided with him and sent him backwards, causing him to roll out of the ring. That ended up being Karrion Kross and Scarlett, and McIntyre got in his face a bit, giving Reigns the opening to hit McIntyre and knock him to the floor.

Would The Scottish Warrior feed off the support of a home crowd and put an end to The Tribal Chief's dominance as the undisputed WWE universal champion or would ...

He recovered and delivered his own Spear back in the ring for a dramatic two-count. That will not change, and this was Reigns' match to win because propelling things forward with the addition of Sikoa to The Bloodline is a bigger development than McIntyre winning the title. - The crowd's love of the Scot was awe-inspiring. He knows exactly when to throw his shoulder off the mat to maximize the drama, and the result is often a contest that has fans completely invested. Solo Sikoa debuted in the closing moments, pulling the referee out of the ring and preventing a three-count following one last Claymore from McIntyre. The transitions, counters and reversals were great, and Riddle barely rolling his shoulder off the mat during near-falls was a nice touch. Like Rollins and Riddle, Reigns and McIntyre have wild in-ring chemistry, developed from working house shows and TV dark matches against each other for the better part of a year. In this case, predictable is far from bad as The Role Model is a genuine star and the most logical option to challenge for the gold. The second-generation competitor badly needed to break free from his father and turn heel, if only to establish his own identity. Hard strikes, heavy-hitting moves and a couple of near-falls followed before the Irishman attempted a Brogue Kick. The match was a good David vs. isolated Asuka and cut her off from the rest of her team.

The WBC World Heavyweight champion told reporters after the show he is "definitely" open to working with WWE in the future, but he also has a "number of fights" ...

The Gypsy King stayed in the ring to help McIntyre get to his feet.

The build to Clash at the Castle, the first real test of 'Papa H's' credentials as a booker, was better than Vince McMahon mustered for several years.

Madcap Mass got them going with his explosive rope runs and unreal power game, Chad Gable was a phenomenally entertaining d*ckhead, and the Street Profits continued, albeit quietly, their tremendous 2022 run. His match with Roman Reigns was framed, brilliantly, as nothing less than the culmination of his life's work. WWE has told the same story with Drew McInryre for two years now.

More than 60,000 lucky fans packed into the Principality Stadium in Cardiff for an entertaining night of wrestling, and it wasn't short of drama. The event was ...

F4W editor Bryan Rose reviews Saturday's WWE Clash at the Castle, one of the hottest WWE shows in years.

Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s title seems to be the next match for Belair, as she was pinned in a hot trios match that opened the show. Whatever it may be will be the next test in the new WWE regime. Considering they had to follow one of the better WWE matches of the last few years, they did a tremendous job. Not that the latter would necessarily be a good match, but at least there’s a few directions WWE can go in that will at the very least be intriguing. Going in, I expected this to be a hard-hitting match and now I can pat myself on the back, as they delivered a classic with sick sounding shots amid a great atmosphere. Reigns’ long run with the Undisputed Universal WWE Championship continues, as he defeated McIntyre in what ended up being a slow-paced, yet dramatic main event with many twists and turns, including Austin Theory (he has his first name back) attempting to cash in, only to get knocked out by Tyson Fury, who was sitting at ringside.

The capital of Wales was more than ready to host the WWE's first UK stadium event in 30 years.
