Riddle vs. Seth “Freakin” Rollins​

In what is sure to be a volatile showdown, Riddle will go one-on-one with Seth “Freakin” Rollins at WWE Clash at the Castle in a quest for payback.

The Original Bro has found himself in the crosshairs of The Visionary since the absence of Randy Orton has left Riddle to battle it out on his own. Although they were supposed to throw down at SummerSlam, Riddle found himself not medically cleared to compete, and the contest never took place.

Riddle has since been sidelined with a stinger injury after Rollins Stomped him into the steel ring steps. Before he could give his return address on the Aug. 15 edition of Raw, however, The Visionary made an unexpected appearance.

After Rollins continued to mock his adversary, The Original Bro ultimately stormed the ring and ignited a huge brawl with his adversary. In the wake of the free-for-all, Riddle challenged Rollins to a showdown at WWE Clash at the Castle.

The highly anticipated WWE Clash at the Castle emanates from Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on Saturday, Sept. 3.​

Riddle needs the win in the worst way.

 

[John McHenry]

Only 4 matches so far?

Drew v Roman; Roman has been built up so much at this point nobody on the roster feels like a threat. I expect interference, perhaps even in a way to take Drew out a couple weeks. Be it Kross, Lumis or Theory. I can see Theory doing another attempted cash in but it gets stopped. I see the match being good the finish being terrible.

Liv vs Shayna I bet we get another nonclean finish probably at the hands of Rousey. Set up Rousey Shayna feud?

Womens 6man Tag Bayley's team has to go over.

Seth v Riddle - Riddle needs the win Seth doesn't. I think this will end the feud. Bet it gets made a no DQ.

So matches that I predict could happen or I'd like to happend

KO v Lashley- He's the Prizefighter again and Lashley has the top prize actively on Raw.

AJ v Ciampa - Feels like a great spot to keep these to warm

The above two are probably totally wrong more likely to get Lashley Ciampa and AJ Lumis

The Queen returns maybe attacking Bianca or ugh Becky (since she has nothing to do yet)

Gunther vs Sheamus? IC title has to be on the card. Has to be versus someone from the Isles unless it's a random debut.

Shitty 10 second match with MMM? or at least some promo

Pretty sure Ronda and Shayna are tagging on house shows so I don't see them setting up a feud. Charlotte attacking Becky or Bianca wouldn't make any sense either, it's way more likely they pair her up with Liv and have her as a face

I just see Ronda being involved and not in a way that would help Shayna. But I see your point also. I also don't see a way for Liv vs Charlotte that makes Liv look good, and I don't think they're ready to take the belt away from her yet. Becky and Charlotte is always their since they have the history.

Perhaps Ronda goes out to support Shayna, Charlotte comes out to take on Rousey, Shayna is distracted Liv gets the win.

They've not made Liv look good at any point this reign so I wouldn't worry about that. But Becky is off of TV because of being attacked by Control, while Charlotte was off of TV because Ronda. Attacking Becky when the Ronda/Shayna angle is right there wouldn't make any sense.

Yeah I got hung up on Becky being on the poster, forgot about her being out. LOL Rhodes I was like oh they made the poster months ago and he's obviously not going to be back.

 

[Swerve]

They need to get to work.

Intercontinental Champion Gunther vs. Sheamus​

Sheamus loves a good fight. He will get that and so much more when he attempts to dethrone Intercontinental Champion Gunther at WWE Clash at the Castle.

After holding the NXT United Kingdom Championship for an astonishing 870 days, Gunther turned his attention SmackDown. With Ludwig Kaiser at his side and a brutal arsenal at his disposal, The Ring General has dominated the blue brand and defeated Ricochet to claim the Intercontinental Title.

Now, he is headed back across the pond to defend the workhorse title at the historic Premium Live Event, and he has made it clear that he considers the title “sacred.”

Sheamus reigned supreme over Ricochet, Madcap Moss, Happy Corbin and Sami Zayn a Fatal 5-Way Match on SmackDown to earn the right to face the vicious titleholder. A four-time World Champion, the highly-decorated Celtic Warrior is as tough as nails and would like nothing more than to seize the Intercontinental Title in Cardiff, Wales. Backed by The Brawling Brutes, Sheamus presents an epic challenge to the titleholder.​

 

[Y2Jayne]

Sheamus is going to finish the match with some seriously visible bruises.

 

[Cwalker]

Bro we’re really getting WALTER and Sheamus…

No offense to Roman but I don’t care about anything else but this Hoss fight

 

[OMB]

Any chance Sheamus wins?

 

[Cwalker]

No

 

[Cwalker]

I wanna see him win because he finishes the Grand Slam but he’s not the one to beat WALTER

 

[Y2Jayne]

Any chance Sheamus wins?

Nah they're going to protect Walter for a while. That's why Ludwig is eating pins for him.
