10 Things That Must Happen At WWE Clash Of Champions 2017

3. Don’t Focus On The Referees

Oh lord, who are we kidding?

The big tag team match on Sunday night is going to be all about the referees. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will put their careers on the line against Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura, in a match that will involve not one but two special referees. If shenanigans were guaranteed in any match, it is this.

The WWE Universe can hope and dream, but the focus of this match needs to be the four superstars competing. All four are incredibly talented, and the blue brand should be built around them and AJ Styles. Why are Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan the focus of the story, anyway?

The divisive authority figure is a story that needs to be consigned to the bin of history. Owens, Zayn, Nakamura and Orton deserve better than this. Let the four men put on a fantastic tag team match, and the story will tell itself.

Nobody needs to see Bryan and Shane arguing in referee shirts.
