Let's take a look at 5 things you need to know before tomorrow night's big PPV.
#5 WWE could be planning something big for The Fiend
Prior to being named Clash of Champions, the annual September PPV was WWE Night of Champions, and it featured a card comprised entirely of title matches. WWE then resurrected the old WCW Clash PPV name and the show carried on the tradition of featuring all of the company's titles defended on the card.
One of the hottest characters on WWE TV at the moment is The Fiend. However, he does not have a match at the Clash of Champions PPV as he does not currently hold a title.
However, according to PWInsider.com, Bray Wyatt will be backstage at the Clash of Champions PPV on Sunday night and, given Wyatt recently teasing he will challenge the winner of the Universal title match tomorrow at Hell in a Cell, it's possible WWE is planning something big for The Fiend following Sunday's main event.
#4 Leaked image possibly spoils major PPV title match
WWE and FOX Sports have been gearing up for SmackDown's move to FOX beginning on October 4th, and several promotional graphics and videos have been released ahead of the show moving to Friday nights in October.
One of the more intriguing photos which leaked this past week is seen above, and features "The Man" Becky Lynch hyping SmackDown on FOX.
What's noteworthy about the photo is that it does not picture Becky Lynch with her coveted WWE Raw Women's title, and Lynch is rarely pictured without the title she captured at WrestleMania 35 when she defeated both Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey.
With Lynch both appearing in an ad for SmackDown and not holding the Raw Women's title, it's very possible the graphic could be spoiling that Sasha Banks will defeat The Man at WWE Clash of Champions to become the new champ.
The graphic could also indicate that WWE plans to move Becky Lynch to SmackDown when the rumored roster draft takes place next month. A move to SmackDown for Becky Lynch could give her the opportunity to challenge Bayley for the SmackDown Women's title after the events on TV in the past few weeks.
#3 The King of the Ring finals will not take place at the PPV
One of the highlights of the summer WWE season has been the 2019 King of the Ring, a tournament which has played out over the past month on television and will conclude when Chad Gable faces Baron Corbin in the tournament finals.
The tournament has boasted many unpredictable twists and turns, with names such as Drew McIntyre exiting the tournament early on, and Chad Gable making it all the way to the finals of the classic tournament.
The 2019 King of the Ring tournament was supposed to conclude at the Clash of Champions PPV this Sunday, however, WWE has announced the bout will not be taking place at the PPV and will instead take place on Raw this coming Monday night.
As for why WWE decided to scrap the match from Sunday's PPV, the reason remains unknown, but it could be that the show is already packed full of matches so the finals were scrapped due to time constraints, or it could be that WWE does not want to book a non-title match on a show filled with all title matches, as well as Roman Reigns vs Rowan.
#2 The PPV will be a dual-branded event for the first time
The WWE Clash of Champions PPV was resurrected back in 2016, with the event replacing the usual, annual Night of Champions PPV.
When the Clash of Champions PPV debuted in WWE, it was a Raw brand only PPV, featuring bouts consisting of only Raw roster members.
In 2017, the PPV was made a SmackDown brand only PPV, featuring the stars of the blue brand.
Last year, the PPV did not take place, as the WWE Super ShowDown PPV in Australia replaced Clash of Champions.
This year, with the stars of Raw and SmackDown Live set to defend their brand titles at Clash of Champions, it will be the first time in WWE history that the event is a dual-branded Clash PPV.
WWE is rumored to be holding a roster draft in October to coincide with SmackDown's move to FOX Sports, and with the Wildcard Rule ending soon it remains to be seen whether or not WWE returns to the brand-only PPV concept. With NXT making the move to USA Network next week, it will also be interesting to see if any NXT bouts are booked on main roster PPV events.
#1 Roman Reigns possibly challenging for title after the PPV
The past month has seen Roman Reigns involved in a bizarre storyline involving everyone from Daniel Bryan and Rowan to Samoa Joe and Buddy Murphy.
Prior to WWE SummerSlam this year, Roman Reigns was attacked by a mystery assailant and the storyline took several odd twists and turns on the road to uncover who was behind the attacks on Reigns.
It was initially believed that Daniel Bryan would be revealed as the mystery attacker, but that has not happened, and at one point it looked like a Rowan doppelganger was behind the attack, but confirmation was never actually received.
During his quest to discover the mystery attacker's identity, Roman Reigns has faced Buddy Murphy, and it looks like Reigns might next be set to face Daniel Bryan after Clash of Champions, following his match against Rowan at the PPV on Sunday night.
According to Cagesideseats.com, WWE is still discussing Daniel Bryan vs Roman Reigns following Clash of Champions, as the site reported the following:
"Despite the angle on SmackDown Live this week, the speculation is still that Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan is the plan at some point in the near future."
