Clash of Champions (2019) is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view and WWE Network event produced by WWE for their Raw, SmackDown, and 205 Live brands. It will take place on September 15, 2019, at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.[1][2] It will be the third event under the Clash of Champions chronology and will feature the finals of the 2019 King of the Ring tournament.
Production
Background
In mid-2016, the WWE reintroduced the brand extension, splitting its main roster between the Raw and SmackDown brands, represented by the shows of the same name. Clash of Champions was established that year to replace Night of Champions, a pay-per-view in which the concept was that all WWE titles were defended; Clash of Champions was established on the same concept.[3] The 2016 event was Raw-exclusive while the 2017 event was SmackDown-exclusive; all titles exclusive to the respective brands during those years were defended at these respective events.[4][5] A Clash of Champions event did not occur in 2018, but following WrestleMania 34 that year, all WWE pay-per-views became dual-branded.[6] In 2019, Clash of Champions was brought back, and, as a dual-branded event, all WWE titles across Raw and SmackDown, as well as 205 Live, are to be defended – the Universal Championship, the WWE Championship, the Raw Women's Championship, the SmackDown Women's Championship, the United States Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, the Raw Tag Team Championship, the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, the Cruiserweight Championship, the Women's Tag Team Championship, and the 24/7 Championship.[7]
Storylines
The show will include matches resulting from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results are predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw, SmackDown, and 205 Live brands,[8][9] while storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live,[10] and the cruiserweight-exclusive 205 Live.[11]
In August 2019, the King of the Ring tournament was revived – the first time since the 2015 tournament – with the finals scheduled for Clash of Champions. The 16-man single-elimination tournament began on the August 19 episode of Raw, featuring eight wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands, respectively.[12][13][14]
Feeling that she deserved an opportunity for the SmackDown Women's Championship following her win over Trish Stratus at SummerSlam, Charlotte Flair issued a challenge to reigning champion Bayley during "A Moment of Bliss" on the August 20 episode of SmackDown. Bayley accepted the challenge for Clash of Champions.[15]
On the August 12 episode of Raw, Universal Champion Seth Rollins faced United States Champion and O.C. member AJ Styles in a non-title champion versus champion match, which resulted in a brawl with fellow O.C. members Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson with Braun Strowman coming to Rollins' aid.[12] The following week, Rollins and Strowman teamed up and won the Raw Tag Team Championship from Gallows and Anderson.[14] Rollins was subsequently scheduled to defend both the Universal and Raw Tag Team championships at Clash of Champions. On the August 26 episode of Raw, Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler won a Tag Team Turmoil to earn a Raw Tag Team Championship match at the event, while later that same night, Strowman challenged Rollins for the Universal Championship, which Rollins accepted.[16]
During the WWE Championship match at SummerSlam, Randy Orton attempted to target Kofi Kingston's family, who were at ringside. Kingston brawled with Orton outside the ring, resulting in both men being counted out. Kingston retained the title but continued to attack Orton.[17] On the following episode of SmackDown, The New Day (Kingston and SmackDown Tag Team Champions Big E and Xavier Woods) faced the team of Orton and The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) in which Orton and The Revival won, after which, Orton performed an RKO on all three members of New Day.[18] On the following Raw, Big E and Woods faced The Revival in a non-title match that New Day won by disqualification due to interference from Orton. Kingston came to their aid, but Orton took him out while The Revival and Orton temporarily injured Woods' leg.[14] The following week on SmackDown, Orton threatened to go after Kingston's family and a WWE Championship rematch was scheduled between the two for Clash of Champions, while Big E and Woods were scheduled to defend the SmackDown Tag Team Championship against The Revival at the event.[19]
On the August 20 episode of 205 Live, Team Oney Lorcan won the Captain's Challenge against Team Drew Gulak with Humberto Carrillo and Lorcan being the last remaining members of their team.[20] The following week, General Manager Drake Maverick scheduled both Carrillo and Lorcan to compete in a match to earn a WWE Cruiserweight Championship match against Gulak at Clash of Champions, which Carrillo won.[21] On the September 3 episode of 205 Live, Lince Dorado defeated Humberto Carrillo and making it a Triple Threat Match.
On the August 20 episode of SmackDown, Sami Zayn was a guest on "Miz TV". Zayn said that after months of losing matches, he realized that he would be better suited to helping people on SmackDown, and brought out Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura. Zayn said that Nakamura was unable to express himself because of the language barrier and that he would communicate for him. The two then attacked The Miz.[15] The following week, Miz challenged Nakamura for the Intercontinental Championship at Clash of Champions. Miz received a beatdown from Zayn and Nakamura. Later, the title match was made official.[19]
At SummerSlam, Becky Lynch defeated Natalya in a submission match to retain the Raw Women's Championship.[17] On the following Raw, Lynch said she respected Natalya and put out a warning to the rest of the women's division. Natalya later came out with her arm in a sling and said they would face each other again. She was interrupted by the returning Sasha Banks, who was last seen at WrestleMania 35. Banks hugged Natalya, but then attacked her, turning heel. Lynch came to Natalya's aid, but was attacked by Banks with a chair.[12] Banks later challenged Lynch for the title at Clash of Champions and Lynch accepted.[22]
On the July 30 episode of SmackDown, as Roman Reigns was getting ready to make a SummerSlam announcement, lighting equipment fell on top of him backstage.[23] The attacker was originally alleged to be Samoa Joe due to their previous rivalry, but he was proven innocent when someone tried to run into Reigns with a car while Joe was at the scene.[24] It was then alleged to be Buddy Murphy, who was spotted on camera during the original attack. Reigns forced Murphy to reveal that it was Erick Rowan.[25] At SummerSlam, Rowan attacked Murphy for the accusation.[26] Daniel Bryan and Rowan then forced Murphy to reveal he was lying[18] and found out that the attacker was a man that looked like Rowan.[15] The following week, however, Reigns found additional footage that showed Rowan pushing over the equipment,[19] and a match between Reigns and Rowan was scheduled for Clash of Champions.[27]
