Get ready to rumble, Glasgow! WWE’s Clash at the Castle 2024 is rolling into the OVO Hydro this Saturday, promising a night of high-octane action, Scottish pride, and championship gold. With three local heroes on the card and all five matches featuring title bouts, this event is set to be more exciting than a haggis hurling competition. This is only the second time WWE has brought Clash at the Castle to the UK, after the inaugural event in Cardiff. Now, it’s Scotland’s turn to shine with Piper Niven, the Unholy Union, and Drew McIntyre leading the charge.
Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest
The main event is shaping up to be a heart-pounding showdown as Drew McIntyre aims to reclaim the World Heavyweight Championship from Damian Priest. McIntyre’s WrestleMania 40 victory over Seth Rollins was cut short when CM Punk’s meddling allowed Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase. With Punk still lurking in the shadows, McIntyre’s quest for redemption is far from straightforward.
Cody Rhodes vs. AJ Styles
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will defend his title against AJ Styles in an “I Quit” Match. After a successful defense against Logan Paul, Rhodes was tricked by Styles’ fake retirement ploy, leading to this rematch. Expect a brutal encounter where the only way to win is to force your opponent to utter those two dreaded words.
Piper Niven vs. Bayley
Homegrown talent Piper Niven takes on Bayley for the WWE Women’s Championship. After months of tormenting Bayley with her partner, Chelsea Green, Niven has earned her shot at glory. With Green at ringside and Nia Jax lurking backstage, this match promises plenty of drama and a potential title change right on Niven’s home turf.
Sami Zayn vs. Chad Gable
Sami Zayn defends his Intercontinental Championship against Chad Gable in what could be a decisive bout. After losing twice to Zayn, Gable has taken out his frustrations on his Alpha Academy students. With Otis, Maxxine Dupri, and Akira Tozawa possibly influencing the outcome, Gable’s quest for the title is fraught with tension.
Women’s Tag Team Championship Triple Threat
Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn face off against champions Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair, with Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark also vying for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Baszler and Stark have come up short twice, but with the Unholy Union’s interference last time, this could be the Scots’ moment of triumph.
