Stipulation set for WWE Clash at the Castle Undisputed title match

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Cody Rhodes vs. AJ Styles is now official for Clash at the Castle — and the match has an added stipulation.

On SmackDown tonight, it was confirmed that Rhodes will defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against Styles in an “I Quit” match at Clash at the Castle. The event is taking place from Glasgow, Scotland on Saturday, June 15. It will stream live on Peacock with a special start time of 2 p.m. Eastern.

After being duped by Styles and laid out last week, Rhodes was out for payback tonight. He tried to call Styles out to the ring, but security rushed to get between them. Styles demanded that Rhodes give him a title shot at Clash at the Castle. Rhodes agreed and announced that it would be an “I Quit” match. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis approved the stipulation.

Rhodes fought through some of the security guards and attempted to brawl with Styles, but the remaining security held him back. Styles then took advantage of the situation by giving Rhodes a cheap shot.

This will be the second-ever televised match between Rhodes and Styles. After Styles lost to Rhodes at Backlash, Aldis denied him a rematch and said he would need to go to the back of the line. Last week, there was an angle where Styles staged a fake retirement as part of his plan to get another shot at Rhodes.

The updated Clash at the Castle card is listed below:

  • World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest defends against Drew McIntyre
  • I Quit match: Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes defends against AJ Styles
  • WWE Women’s Champion Bayley defends against Piper Niven
  • Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn defends against Chad Gable
  • Triple threat match: WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill defend against Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn and Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark

Drew McIntyre challenging for World Heavyweight title at WWE Clash at the Castle

Posted on by Joseph Currier

In his home country of Scotland, Drew McIntyre is getting a shot at championship gold.

WWE has confirmed that Damian Priest will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against McIntyre at Clash at the Castle 2024. The PLE is being held at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on Saturday, June 15.

The announcement of the match was made by Paul “Triple H” Levesque during WWE King & Queen of the Ring on Saturday.

Neither Priest nor McIntyre had matches at King & Queen of the Ring. McIntyre has been out of action since April due to an elbow injury. The injury forced McIntyre out of WWE’s King of the Ring tournament before it began. On the May 13 episode of Raw, Priest agreed to give McIntyre a title shot once McIntyre was cleared to return.

McIntyre briefly held the World Heavyweight Championship after defeating Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40. Immediately after that match, Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase on McIntyre to win the title. The story was that McIntyre allowed his obsession with mocking CM Punk to cost him the title and his WrestleMania moment.

Ahead of Clash at the Castle, McIntyre has warned Punk not to show up in Scotland.

A title defense against Gunther at SummerSlam will be next for either Priest or McIntyre after Clash at the Castle.

Scottish star Piper Niven may also be featured in a title match at Clash at the Castle. On Friday’s SmackDown, WWE began building up a feud between Niven and WWE Women’s Champion Bayley.

WWE’s Clash at the Castle premium live event is heading to Scotland.

It was announced on Tuesday morning that Clash at the Castle will return on Saturday, June 15, this time being held in Scotland at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow. WWE SmackDown will also take place from the arena the night before. Those interested in pre-sale information can visit this link.

“We are excited to bring both Friday Night SmackDown and Clash At The Castle: Scotland to our amazing fans in Scotland at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow this June,” WWE President Nick Khan was quoted as saying in the press release. “The world will see that this is one of the UK’s best venues and Scottish crowds are some of the loudest, craziest and most passionate on the planet.”

The PLE was first announced during Monday’s Raw, with the location and venue being withheld until the following day.

Scotland is home to several main roster WWE stars including Drew McIntyre, Alba Fyre, Isla Dawn, Piper Niven, and Nikki Cross. NXT talent from Scotland includes Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, and Wolfgang) and Noam Dar.

Clash at the Castle was last held in September of 2022 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Roman Reigns defeated McIntyre in the main event to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

The first Clash at the Castle was a stadium show. This year’s edition is taking place in an arena.
