JamieStevenson Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 We've reached the final PPV of 2017, hopefully it's a strong ending to the year. This will be a SmackDown exclusive PPV following the 1 hour Pre-Show, 3 hours Main Card format live on the WWE Network. For ourselves that means Midnight for the Pre-Show and a 1AM start for the main card. It takes place at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts Sunday December 17th 2017. This is only the 2nd installment of the Clash of Champions PPV, after RAW's decent effort in September of last year. After not a lot at stake at Survivor Series, expect to see Championships back on the line here. SmackDown are likely to also showcase The Bludgeon Brothers, Liv Morgan, Ruby Riot & Sarah Logan. Confirmed Matches: Zack Ryder vs Mojo Rawley (Kickoff Match). Breezango vs The Bludgeon Brothers. Baron Corbin © vs Bobby Roode vs Dolph Ziggler for the WWE United States Championship. Charlotte Flair © vs Natalya in a Lumberjill Match for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship. The Usos © vs The New Day vs Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin vs Rusev and Aiden English for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship. Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura vs Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan will be the Special Guest Referees. If Owens and Zayn lose, they'll be fired from WWE. AJ Styles © vs Jinder Mahal for the WWE Championship.

FifeArab Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Only one that really Interests me Is Roode getting a go at the US title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Shouldn't AJ Brock be on this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 No. This is a Smackdown only PPV. And why would AJ be fighting Lesnar here anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 I think he's just getting at the fact there won't be any champions clashing at the Clash of Champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_M Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Having had all the champions square off at Survivor Series, this is a fucking stupid name for a PPV. And a single brand one at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Tag match will be fine. Makes no sense that Ziggler is in the US title match though. Charlotte vs Natalya rematch was expected as well. No doubt Jinder wins it back here as well. Sooner he fucks off the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I can just see them sitting in the writers room, talking excitedly about their Rumble plans and the road to Wrestlemania when one of them bursts in - "here guys, there's another PPV in December!" Cue much wailing and gnashing of teeth, then after some placating takeaway, they just decide to throw together any old shite because it doesn't matter anyway. Can't see Jinder winning the title back now they've announced he'll be facing THE GAME THE KING OF KINGS THE CEREBRAL ASSASSIN TRIPLE H in India. Unless they have him win and then Trips challenge for the title and lose, I can't see it. Actually, having said that, the India tour is before this, isn't it? No reason for him to win at Clash then, he'll get jobbed out and disappear down to the midcard again. Makes an easy decision for me anyway, I'm struggling these days to make the shows live, so them putting out dreadful cards like this makes it an easy decision. Will try and avoid spoilers and watch through the bits I'm interested in on Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWE always attempt to drum up attention with this shit. I'd guess adding him to the US title match after that was always the plan. As for the card, I'm not convinced. The tag matches should be good fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The potential for shenanigans in the SamiKO match will be worth watching. Orton and Nakamura to pick up the win and Owens and Zayn to plague Smackdown for weeks after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 I've not kept up with this and it really doesn't look good at all does it? Hope they continue to shine the spotlight on the tag team division as that title match could be great. Also continue to build The Bludgeon Brothers back up. If we get back into the position of The Usos vs The Bludgeon Brothers down the line it'll be tremendous. Surely Carmella can find an opportunity to cash in during or after this Lumberjill match.

FifeArab Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Can only dream that Daniel Bryan gives us a tease that he’s gonna be back wrestling... Unless he doesn’t I’d rather this match was on the kick off show because let’s be honest they will not be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 This seems like one of the most boring PPV's in my life watching wrestling. I'm sure as an event it'll be fine and certainly better than some of the stuff in the mid 2000's or early 90's, but this just seems so utterly bland and I'm not invested in anyone in this show tonight other than AJ and Luke Harper. Just very meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I’ll probably give this a watch tomorrow since I’ve got the network for free just now but I wouldn’t have bothered otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
