Hello everyone! And welcome to the results of Saturday's Clash at the Castle, an auspicious occasion, the last UK Show to be Televised on Tnt Sports, before WWE's worldwide move to Netflix, and before my Countrymen respond, yeah hope you enjoy your week old Raw and Smackdown and reading results on blogs like this when you can just get with the times, because you just know Virgin media won't Spring For the ppvs in The New Year.
First match of the night, a surprising one, but given where we are, of course Drew McIntyre's match was the main event. The opener was for the other world's championship, the Undisputed Championship. Cody Rhodes Vs AJ Styles. Given that this show only had 5 matches, the show was Bookended by long matches. AJ Styles pulled out a Myriad of weapons, including the Handcuffs that would bite him in the Ass, later ( the handcuffs got a "K*nky B****rd" chant going!) Styles also would make the Mistake of Menacing Michelle Runnels aka Momma Rhodes at Ringside, Cody retains by handcuffing Styles and attempting to throw a Ring steps at Styles Head. With that done, Cody can focus on Gunther's title shot....at Summerslam? Well that only proves that Gunther is going into Bash at Berlin as Champion or Challenger!
Triple Threat tag match ended with a Flukey win by Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn. The other team, Shayna Baszler and "Grandma" Zoey Stark (Shout-out to Jonn Ritland!) Did all the heavy lifting beating the champions of Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair. And they capitalized on to it. Are they only getting booked because of pride month? I know Alba Fyre is married to a man, but they are PRESENTED As a lesbian couple! As soon as July comes around are they just gonna take the belts off them and put them back in the same box Tegan Knox is in until next June?
Intercontinental championship match between Sami Zayn Vs Chad Gable was more of an angle with Wrestling put in here and there. With Gable sliding out to Confer with Bloatis and his new Blonde Fembot, while Sami slides out to Convince them instead. Gable got on Otis' bad side and knocked down Maxine and he carried her out! Distracted by the Perceived Traitorous walkout, Gable ate a Helluva Kick by Sami, Sami Retains.
If you thought Piper Niven was Winning the women's championship after being Presented as a Stooge for a Jobber's Wife, with the only reason being she's homegrown talent, in a match made the last minute, you're an idiot! Apart from the "Hey Bailey" Chant, the crowd was dead!
WWE Heavyweight championship match between Drew McIntyre and "El Campion" Damian Priest! And with all the Support, with all the cheers, with all the pageantry in Drew's Entrance, with Priest Booed like he just said he's against Scottish Freedom, With all the Good Will in the Nation of Scotland behind Drew McInytre....They DID IT AGAIN TO HIM!
But we kinda knew given The Punk feud coming up! Still Fans in the Hydro after the match be like...
Anyway Crowd built this match to a fever pitch, For a show that only had 5 matches and a skeleton crew of superstars and was Bookended by 2 long matches with Video packages, the crowd made this match, It was Drew for 70 percent of this match, until the ref-bump during the Claymore Kick, a Second ref came Down and Drew pinned the Champion But then the ref counted 2 and flipped Drew Off! The camera work was Impeccable, as we never saw The second refs Face until we saw and Heard the reaction of those who could see from that angle...when the Camera showed Punks Face, Both Sides of the pro and Against Reacted hard! Distracted, Punk Uppercutted him in the Love Spuds and he staggered into South of heaven! A Dusty Finish to screw Mcintyre in the UK again!
And that does it for the last UK show to be televised by TNT UK!
But this is not the last PPV of this month, before I take my Sabbatical Next month, I'll have results in 7 days time, of MLW Anniversary!
