Top WWE Raw Superstar Drew McIntyre will expectedly headline the Clash at the Castle 2024 premium live event in the middle of June. This is going to be the second edition of this particular PLE and the UK native will feature in the marquee match of the night on both occasions. The similarity is that he will again be up against a faction while gunning for a world title.

The announcement of the match came through Paul “Triple H” Levesque during WWE King & Queen of the Ring PLE in Saudi Arabia.

That being said, the message was loud and clear for McIntyre that it won’t be easy for him to win back the world title at Clash at the Castle. After winning the belt from Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania, Punk’s distraction allowed Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract to win the gold and since then McIntyre and Priest have entered a feud on WWE Raw.
