Clash at the Castle 2022 is going to be the first stadium event from the WWE in nearly three decades in the United Kingdom. The last time a huge premium live event took place at an outdoor stadium in the UK was in the year 1992. Now for the next coming event, WWE has set up a grand match over the dual belts.
For a long time now, Drew McIntyre has been rumored to feature in a marquee match at Clash at the Castle 2022 since it takes place in his native land. Now he has just solidified the main event opportunity for himself by winning a number-one contender’s match on the latest edition of Smackdown.

Drew McIntyre confirmed his spot at Clash at the Castle 2022
McIntyre fought against all the odds and took out Holland with a belly-to-belly suplex followed by a shillelagh shot towards Butch. Sheamus was then put through a table via a powerbomb followed by a Claymore Kick from McIntyre to receive the loss while McIntyre was named the new number-one contender for the top world titles in the WWE for Clash at the Castle 2022.
The popular belief is that Roman Reigns will be challenged by Drew McIntyre in the Undisputed WWE Universal Title match at the September PPV event. But prior to that, Roman needs to successfully defend his title against Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing match at Summerslam.
WWE Clash at the Castle 2022 takes place at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on September 3 which will be the first premium live event from the main roster following Summerslam. No matches have been announced for the event but the likes of Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Roman Reigns, Ronda Rousey, and WWE Hall of Famer Edge are being advertised for it.
