With Clash at the Castle 2024 just around the corner, we are all eagerly anticipating what promises to be an unforgettable event. Here's a rundown of my predictions for the major matches on the card.
World Heavyweight Championship: Damien Priest vs. Drew McIntyre
First up, we have the World Heavyweight Championship match between Damien Priest and Drew McIntyre. It's tough to see anyone but McIntyre winning in front of his home crowd. Losing here would be a travesty for him, and no disrespect to Priest, but he hasn't quite stepped up in Rhea Ripley's absence. The Judgment Day seems a bit disjointed, and I think there's more turmoil and potential turns ahead for them. A win for McIntyre makes sense and sets up continued feuds, particularly against CM Punk, which all fans are eager to see. Drew McIntyre should take this one, and hopefully, it will be the main event of the night.
Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. AJ Styles (I Quit Match)
Next, we have the Undisputed WWE Championship match, an I Quit match between Cody Rhodes and AJ Styles. Fan opinions on Rhodes tend to be polarizing; he's a bit like Marmite—you either love him or hate him. However, his star power is undeniable. AJ Styles is a phenomenal in-ring veteran, and it's understandable why WWE would give this rivalry another run. But I don't see Cody dropping the belt here. I think he'll hold onto it until at least WrestleMania next year. WWE has been constantly teasing a potential clash with Randy Orton, and this match should deliver a spectacle similar to their Backlash encounter earlier this year. I predict Cody to come out on top.
WWE Women's Championship: Bayley vs. Piper Niven
For the WWE Women's Championship, we have Bayley versus Piper Niven. As the hometown favorite, it's fantastic to see Piper getting a shot at such a big event. However, I don't see her winning this one. She'll be portrayed in a way that doesn't damage her credibility, but Bayley will take the victory. Following this, Bayley most likely will go on to feud with Nia Jax. It's a great opportunity for Piper to showcase her talent, and it should help her career progress.
Intercontinental Championship: Sami Zayn vs. Chad Gable
The Intercontinental Championship match features Sami Zayn against Chad Gable. I'm predicting a win for Gable. If he has decided to stay with WWE, putting the belt on him would be a smart move. This could transition Sami Zayn towards bigger main event clashes for the heavyweight titles, especially with Money in the Bank on the horizon. While it was heartwarming to see Sami win the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania, his run with the belt has been less than stellar. Gable taking the title seems like the better choice here.
WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill vs. Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn vs. Shayna Baszler & Zoe Stark
Lastly, we have the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match featuring Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill, Alba Fire and Isla Dawn, and Shayna Baszler and Zoe Stark. There's no way WWE is going to have Bianca and Jade drop the belts in this one. At some point, we'll likely see a turn between Bianca and Jade, setting up a major showdown. However, I believe there's still time left for them as a tag team before that happens. This match should be of high quality, and it's nice to see Isla Dawn compete in her home country of Scotland. However, Bianca and Jade will prove too strong in this matchup.
