5 things WWE subtly told us at Clash of Champions: Potential WrestleMania 36 match, World title reign to end soon?

WWE Clash of Champions 2019 ended and it was a good card, meaning that the PPV didn't exactly deliver. There were a string of matches that really didn't live up to the mark and the WWE title match in particular killed the crowd until the big return in the co-main event (more on that later).

Thankfully, the show had a fantastic finish as a whole and there is definitely excitement on the RAW end of things, particularly with the main event of Hell in a Cell 2019.

We begin a rather short build to Hell in a Cell, but before that, here are a few things WWE subtly told us at Clash of Champions 2019.


#5. Sasha Banks is winning at Hell In A Cell

Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch had a fantastic match, but it ended with an underwhelming finish when Becky Lynch got disqualified. We did predict a dusty finish at the end and while it's good that they protected both superstars and will be continuing the rivalry to the next PPV, but there could have been a better way to do so.

WWE Hell in a Cell 2019 is just a few weeks away and it seems as though we're headed for another Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks, hopefully inside Hell in a Cell. That match is as worthy a main eventing the PPV as Charlotte Flair vs Sasha Banks 3 years ago.

And from the look of things, The Man's dream title reign will be coming to an end. It's probably a good thing because WWE will be striking while the iron is hot. Becky Lynch's reign hasn't exactly been the best and it's probably time for a change. The Boss is undoubtedly the best superstar to take the title off her and we could see Becky Lynch chasing for the title again, similar to this period of time last year.

#4. The Revival are moving to SmackDow post-FOX

The Revival have been getting quite the push this year amidst all the rumours of them asking for their release. They reportedly brought up issues with the tag team division and this month alone, they won the RAW Tag Team Championships twice and now the SmackDown Tag Team Championships after beating The New Day.

It came as a surprise because it was a RAW team challenging for SmackDown titles. The expectations was that The New Day would retain the titles. However, it's now a RAW team that holds the SmackDown title.

It's going to be interesting to see how the tag team divisions on both brands shape up this month. The draft is coming on October 11th and 14th and that's going to give us a preview of how the tag team divisions will shape up. One thing we know for sure is that The Revival will soon be a SmackDown-exclusive team, if not already one.

The Revival's addition to the SmackDown roster is undoubtedly going to serve as a huge boost to the brand after FOX. Does this mean that The New Day could shift to RAW? (Granted Kofi Kingston loses the title by next month).

#3. Kofi Kingston's WWE title reign has come to a standstill

Kofi Kingston defeated Randy Orton in what was by far the most underwhelming match of the night You would think that they would add a stipulation to it to add an edge to the match, but it amounted to nothing.

The crowd hardly reacted and it essentially sucked the air out of the arena. While Kofi Kingston did get his redemption, that may have essentially ended the rivalry. It's going to be interesting to see who lines up for Kofi Kingston next as his WWE title challenger.

But after that match against Randy Orton, it seems as though his run as WWE Champion has come to a standstill - at least in terms of his momentum. From the look of things, we may not even be seeing him as a champion for all that long. Many fans would probably be quite open to a title change now, but whether his reign has been underwhelming due to his ability as champion or WWE's booking is ultimately up to you to decide.

With that being said, don't be surprised if he loses the WWE title next PPV.

#2. We may have to wait to see Daniel Bryan vs Roman Reigns

He's back!
He's back!

Luke Harper returned in a big way and helped Erick Rowan give Roman Reigns a bludgeoning. It was a decent match up till then, with the two utilising the No DQ stipulation the best they could.

Luke Harper's return definitely made the match much better and the instant question is why Harper wasn't in the main spot in the first place. He's by far more charismatic and a better in-ring worker as well.

We're going to see the reunion of The Bludgeon Brothers after a year, but with a different gimmick. It's good that the two reunited, but that also means another thing - the Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan feud will be delayed.

It's no secret that WWE is eventually building towards Reigns vs Bryan, but to get there, they need to align first. Bryan somewhat turned face (but it hasn't been cemented), so we could see Reigns & Bryan vs Harper & Rowan at Hell in a Cell.

With Survivor Series being the PPV following that, it's another month where we won't see the match. The closest we could realistically see the feud is TLC at December, but could WWE hold back on the match until WrestleMania 36? This is usually the period where WWE plants the seeds for WrestleMania.

#1.The Fiend is next

Not-so-subtle

While WWE wasn't particularly subtle about it, we couldn't end this list without the moment of the night. Bray Wyatt was rumoured for the past month to be the Universal title challenger at WWE Hell in a Cell 2019.

Even in the promo for Hell in a Cell, it ended with a shot of The Fiend. Seth Rollins had a fantastic performance against Braun Strowman in what was undoubtedly the match of the night. They told a great story and it's a huge boost for Seth Rollins to have back-to-back clean wins over Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman in a little over a month.

Seth Rollins proved why he's the best option to lead Monday Night RAW, but his reign which has legendary potential could end up coming to an abrupt halt at the hands of The Fiend. Bray Wyatt isn't just going to be attacking legends. He'll be challenging for the Universal Championship. It was brilliant on WWE's part to do that and it's going to be interesting to see how they handle it inside Hell in a Cell. Either way, having AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt as feuds in four months is quite an incredible run for Rollins.

But Wyatt is next.
