There is a lot of excitement in Glasgow, Scotland, as WWE fans await an incredible match at the Castle event this Saturday at the OVO Hydro. This landmark event is the second time WWE Clash of the Castle has been brought to the UK, following the first Wells Cardiff event. Scotland fans are in for a treat as three games will showcase local talent, all five of which will have a gold medal winner.
McIntyre’s journey of redemption
Drew McIntyre aims to reclaim the world heavyweight championship in an exciting match of the night. McIntyre’s roller-coaster ride began at WrestleMania 40, where he defeated Seth Rollins, but lost shortly after. The reason for the failure was CM Punk, who took advantage of McIntyre’s distraction on the news and allowed Damian Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank account. Now, armed with a desperate need for redemption and the support of his hometown fans, McIntyre will once again face Palestine, but the continued presence of CM Punk will add an unexpected twist to the match.

Championship Match: Rhode vs Styles
The event also featured a great match between WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and AJ Styles. This highly anticipated match comes after their hard-fought match at Backlash France and Rhode’s successful defense against Logan Paul in Saudi Arabia. On “WWE SmackDown,” the game reached its peak when Rhodes asked for an “I Quit” match after Styles announced his retirement. The brutality of this format ensures that only the strongest fighter will prevail, promising an unforgettable fight.

Piper Niven’s Dream Giver
Another highlight of the evening was the WWE Women’s Championship match between Scottish superstars Piper Niven and Bayley. Niven and her partner Chelsea Green have been following Bayley hard since her win at WrestleMania 40. With Green at ringside and the mighty 2024 queen of the ring Nia Jax close behind, Niven’s dream of a title shot in her home country will come true, though Bayley will be very strong in defense.
Third time lucky for Chad Gable?
Chad Gable’s pursuit of the Intercontinental Championship has been a difficult journey. Gable has been beaten twice by Sami Zayn, including in a triple-threat match in Saudi Arabia, and now he wants to make the third time the magic. His transformation, along with the pressure he exerted on Alpha’s apprentice, pushed his apprentice Otis to the breaking point. The motivations of the academy, especially the loyalty of Otis, Maxine Dupree, and Akira Tozawa, play a big role in Gable’s victory. Zayn’s attempts to influence the members of the Academy will also play a role, and this match will not be seen.
Group Competitions of Evil
The night ended with a triple-threat match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Scottish talents Alba Fear and Isla Dawn (known as “The Unholy Alliance”) will be joined by Shayna Baszler and Zoe Stark, with superstars Jade Cargill and Bianca Blair You competing. Baszler and Stark had contacted Cargill and Belair twice without success and saw this as a big opportunity. Dawn and Fyre’s interference in the previous game opened up the possibility of a home win, making this game a real spectacle.
