WWE will present Clash at the Castle this Saturday, June 15 on Peacock and the WWE Network from Glasgow, Scotland. Here are a few predictions.

Damian Priest versus Drew McIntyre for the World Heavyweight Championship (The Judgment Day is banned from ringside).

Drew is at home so one would think he has the advantage, but I just don’t see it happening. One of two things will happen that will end up costing Drew the match. Either a distraction by Carlito, who isn’t an official member of Judgment Day and thus, not affected by the ban, or some involvement by CM Punk. Either way, Drew has a great match, but in the end, Damian Priest steals the win and keeps the title belt.

Winner and STILL WWE World Champion: Damian Priest.

Cody Rhodes versus AJ Styles in an “I Quit” Match for the Undisputed Championship.

I can’t see Cody saying I Quit, but there is a factor at ringside that could change that. Cody’s Mom will be there in Scotland and sitting at ringside. Could that be a factor? And what of Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson? Will they be there to get involved? I think the odds are against Cody, but I can’t see AJ as the Undisputed Champion. Maybe some hot-shotting of the belt to give us a rubber match at SummerSlam, but I hope not. Let’s just see Cody get the win, AJ shouts out the infamous words and we move on.

Winner and STILL Undisputed Champion: Cody Rhodes.

Bayley versus Piper Niven for the WWE Women’s Championship.

This is one that I’m somewhat torn on. I would love to see Piper Niven win the title and have a good run at the WWE Women’s Champion. Just imagine her with Chelsea Green claiming to be the co-champion. It would make for some great television. But Bayley hasn’t had the chance to strut her stuff with this title reign and it seems too soon to take it off of her. I expect that Piper will look great and come close, but Bayley will find a way to keep her championship.

Winner and STILL WWE Women’s Champion: Bayley.

Sami Zayn versus Chad Gable for the Intercontinental Championship.

Part of me wants to see Sami keep the IC belt and just keep doing what he’s doing, but Gable has been so good as of late, the other part of me wants to see him find a way to steal the win and capture the IC title. And how will Otis, Tozawa, and Maxxine figure into the story? Hell, let’s say a miscue by Otis nails Sami, and Gable takes advantage to win the belt. That sounds like a plan to me.

Winner and NEW WWE Intercontinental Champion: Chad Gable

Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill versus Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn versus Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark for the Women’s Tag Team Championship.

On a personal level, I’m already bored with Bianca and Jade as the tag team champions. But that being said, it’s not time for them to lose the titles yet. Shayna and Zoey were only added to the match to give the champions someone to beat. They’re keeping their titles.

Winners and STILL WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill.

And there you go. So what do you think? Am I right? Am I wrong? Let me know in the comments, along with any other thoughts, comments, or questions. And with that, I’m out of here, my friends. Take care and be well and I’ll see you at the matches.
