I just finished watching Clash At The Castle. I wasn’t planning on hopping on and writing something. Normally I just write the predictions ahead of time , but what’s the point of being a wrestling fan if you can’t shout your opinions at everyone? And after this, I have so many opinions.
What I thought was going to be a relatively predictable and tame premium live event turned out to be anything but as my brain in spinning in a ton of different directions. Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill lost. I’m not sure I heard anyone other than Santi Zap predict that.
The Chad Gable storyline is somehow even hotter after a fantastic finish led to a pissed off gif you’ll see on social media for years . Damian Priest miraculously turned what seemed like an all-time botch into one of the best performances of his career. Drew McIntyre looked like a Roman Reigns level star.
There’s just so much to talk about. So, let me rundown my biggest takeaways..
. Clash At The Castle was Drew McIntyre ’s PPV. He was always going to main event the show, despite Cody Rhodes being on it, and his presence tonight showed exactly why.
Yes, the hometown crowd helped, but whether he’s a hero or a face, wrestling in his home country or somewhere he has no connection to, he's in the midst of an all-time run right now. He has found the character he was born to play. Everything about it just works.
Whether it be stepping in front of Damian Priest during his introduction just to be a jerk...
or kicking Pr.
