After a month's delay, WWE fans are going to get a battle between Seth Rollins and Riddle at Clash at the Castle in three weeks.

The match was scheduled to take place at SummerSlam, but on the go-home Raw, Rollins stomped Riddle on the steel steps, causing a storyline injury that left the Original Bro not medically cleared to compete. That didn't stop Riddle from showing up at the PLE, where he rushed the ring and called out Rollins, who further injured him.

Monday, however, Riddle announced that he was medically cleared. The news came "via satellite," or so Rollins thought, as he stood in the ring and mocked Riddle, only to find out that his adversary was merely backstage. Riddle charged the ring and brawled briefly with the Drip God before he fled into the crowd.

Later, Riddle issued the challenge for a one-on-one match at the upcoming PLE, which WWE confirmed.

While it was disappointing that the match was bumped from one of the biggest shows of the year, given everything else that happened at SummerSlam, it's somewhat understandable, and it would have resulted in either match being shortened for time or a longer show. Hopefully, this heated rivalry will get plenty of time to be aired out next month.
