WWE
Clash of Champions
September, Week 4, Year
1
Indianapolis, IN
Two
weeks ago on RAW, Darren Young suffered a (minor) injury in a match
against Braun Strowman. In Darren Young's absence the following week
on RAW, his life coach and former WWE Champion Bob Backlund would
step up to issue a challenge to “The Monster” but ultimately
suffered the same fate as his student. Tonight, Darren Young has
returned and has challenged Braun Strowman.

Strowman vs Darren Young

Footage
is shown of the technical wizard and submission master Zack Sabre Jr.
winning the inaugural WWE Cruiserweight Classic and becoming the
inaugural WWE Cruiserweight Champion.
The
cruiserweights would debut on RAW two weeks ago in a match that saw
Drew Gulak come out victorious by using his Gu-Lock submission hold.
Gulak has since spoken out that the notion of Zack Sabre Jr. being
superior to him in the art of submission wrestling is completely and
utterly laughable. Drew claims to be the real technical wizard of the
cruiserweight division and looks to prove as such tonight at Clash of
Champions.

champion to make a statement.
Ever
since their defeat at SummerSlam to The Shield, The Club have been
blindsiding the WWE Tag Team Champions with endless attacks. Attacks
that seem to be working as The Shield are now 0-3 in non-title
competition ever since SummerSlam and look to be ripe for the
picking. Will The Club capitalize and be the ones to finally unseat
The Shield from their five month reign? Or will The Shield overcome
their disadvantages and go on to reign as six-month-long WWE Tag Team
Champs?

Last
month at WWE SummerSlam, Charlotte defeated Sasha Banks to retain the
RAW Women's Championship and settle their rivalry once and for all.
The
following night on RAW, fellow WWE Four Horsewoman Bayley would make
her WWE main roster debut on RAW in impressive fashion with a big win
over Alicia Fox. The momentum would keep on rolling for “The
Hugger” the following week on RAW where she went on to defeat Nia
Jax to become the #1 contender for Charlotte's RAW Women's
Championship thus making it Charlotte versus Bayley at Clash of
Champions. Friend versus friend, horsewoman versus horsewoman.

Jinder
Mahal spoke on RAW about his outrage over The Rock refusing a
supporting role alongside Jinder in a Bollywood film as The Rock
thought Mahal was joking. Mahal would attack The Rock backstage in a
brawl that would backfire on Jinder after The Rock left him laying.
Tonight, Jinder will take on The Rock and is looking to prove his
superiority over “The Great One” and prove that it's no longer
The Rock's time, it's Jinder's time.

Last
week on RAW, RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon announced that
despite being drafted to SmackDown Live in the WWE Draft, due to
contractual developments John Cena is currently a free agent that
will be appearing on RAW coming soon (as well as fulfilling his
duties as a SmackDown Live talent). Coming soon to Monday Night RAW:
John Cena '10!
Ever
since SummerSlam, the WWE United States Champion Chris Jericho has
not stopped boasting about defeating Randy Orton and sending him
packing back to SmackDown Live as well as proclaiming himself as the
greatest WWE United States Champion in WWE history.
In
an effort to find Jericho's next challenger, RAW General Manager Mick
Foley stated that according to the RAW rankings, the three top
contenders for the WWE United States Championship were Kevin Owens,
Sami Zayn and Finn Balor. This outraged Jericho who accused Foley of
trying to cause a rift in The New Millenia (the faction consisting of
Jericho, Owens and Zayn). Owens didn't seem to mind the opportunity
and a conflicted Sami Zayn didn't know what to think. All they knew
was that they could not allow Finn Balor to become the #1 contender.
Unfortunately,
that's exactly what would happen as Balor would pin Owens with a
Reverse DDT. Tonight at Clash of Champions, Chris Jericho has
promised to put on a championship defense that Kevin Owens, Sami
Zayn, The Authority and the entire WWE Universe can be proud of. As
far as Finn goes, he has not been available for comment ever since
his confrontation with Jericho this past Monday night on RAW.

Last
month at WWE SummerSlam, “The Beast” Brock Lesnar defeated The
Big Show with the F5 in mere seconds and much to the WWE Universe's
amazement.
The
following night on RAW, four qualifying matches were held involving
some of the top RAW Superstars where the winners would compete in a
#1 Contender's Fatal 4-Way Match the following week on RAW. This
proved to be a great opportunity for “The Man That Gravity Forgot”
as it seemed as though Neville had looked like the man that WWE RAW
management forgot. However, a focused and determined Neville would
defeat Sami Zayn to qualify for the #1 Contender's Fatal 4-Way Match
and would ultimately Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens and Rusev to become
the next challenger for Brock Lesnar at WWE Clash of Champions.
Many
have been counting Neville out, predicting another seconds-long
obliteration but Neville has been insistent that he plans on shocking
the world at Clash of Champions much to Lesnar's amusement.
As
Paul Heyman heads towards the entrance area, he is approached for an
interviewed and hysterically laughs at the notion of Neville somehow
finding a way to defeat his client tonight. He heads towards the
entrance area in a fit of laughter.
