10 HUGE WWE Clash At The Castle Predictions You Need To Know

6. Gunther (c) Vs. Sheamus

Sheamus having to win a place against Gunther at Clash At The Castle was yet another example of Triple H's earnest attempts to rapidly rehabilitate the Intercontinental Championship, not least considering the fact it was last defended on a Premium Live Event when they were still called pay-per-views back in 2021.

WrestleMania 37's Nigerian Drum Fight between Big E and Apollo Crews was the last time the secondary strap got a look-in on a major stage, and along with finally breaking that duck, the pair are certain to have a match more memorable.

Bret Hart and Davey Boy Smith's legendary SummerSlam 1992 main event might hang heavy in the tiddy of this one, but the wildly different make-up of the bout should dispel those comparisons and line the Champion up as the wrestler to beat on the blue brand under Roman Reigns himself. Wales will likely be quite kind to Gunther and sidekick Ludgwig Kaiser, generating what could and should be one of the tastier atmospheres of the night.

Winner - Gunther
