WWE Clash At The Castle 2022: Match Card, Start Time, How To Watch, Predictions-November 2024
This weekend, WWE is returning to the UK with a major event. Clash at the Castle will take place at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on Saturday, September 3, 2022. The show will be headlined by Undisputed Champion Roman Reigns defending his title against Scotland's Drew McIntyre. Here's everything you need to know about the event.
One of the moment the past week people are talking about is the segment featuring Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins--the two got into a fight in the parking lot before the show, and refs were readily available to stop it. Rollins taunted Riddle, saying his wife left him and took his kids, before calling him a "bitch" multiple times. You can watch the explosive segment below.

Predictions:
For predictions, you can check out an episode of GameSpot's Wrestle Buddies where hosts Mat Elfring and Chris E. Hayner go through every match on the Clash at the Castle card--as of August 30--and predict the outcomes. For a couple predictions in written form, check out a couple of selections below.
Gunther vs. Sheamus
It's nice to see the IC title on a PPV. As much as it makes sense to keep the title on Gunther to make him a fighting champion, there's one thing to keep in mind: Sheamus is one title away from being a Grand Slam Champion, and all he needs is the IC Championship. Sheamus has worked his butt off for the company since he's been a part of it, and this seems like a layup prediction.
Sheamus wins.
Liv Morgan vs. Shayna Baszler
We're all still talking about Morgan's win over Ronda Rousey, where Morgan tapped out before Rousey was pinned--even though the ref counted the pinfall. Refs? Am I right? The audience has turned on Morgan a little bit here and there--although they were championing the heck out of her prior to the win. Baszler is another beast--and former MMA fighter to boot--so we see one of two things happening: Rousey comes out towards the end of the match and beats up Morgan or Morgan gets another wonky win where the ref isn't paying attention. Either way, it's not clean.
Morgan wins.
