WWE Clash of Champions comes to us this Sunday from Boston's TD Garden and it's the last WWE pay per view of 2017. The Smackdown Live roster will be looking to put on a great show to close out the year and we're here to look at the full match card and give our official predictions.
Here is the full match card for WWE Clash of Champions 2017:
#1 Zack Ryder vs Mojo Rawley (Singles match on the Kickoff Show)
#2 The Usos (c) vs The New Day vs Rusev and Aiden English vs Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin (Fatal Four-Way Tag Team match for the WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship)
#3 Breezago vs The Bludgeon Brothers (Tag Team match)
#4 Charlotte Flair (c) vs Natalya (Lumberjack match for the WWE Smackdown Women's Championship)
#5 Baron Corbin (c) vs Dolph Ziggler vs Bobby Roode (Triple Threat match for the WWE United States Championship)
#6 Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura vs Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn (Tag Team match with Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan as Special Guest Referees)
#7 AJ Styles (c) vs Jinder Mahal (Singles match for the WWE Championship)
Here are our official predictions for this pay per view:
#1 Zack Ryder vs Mojo Rawley (Singles match on the Kickoff Show)
The Hype Bros finally imploded a few weeks ago with Mojo Rawley turning on Zack Ryder and WWE Clash of Champions offers The Broski his first opportunity for revenge.
This should be a straightforward victory for the babyface on the kickoff show.
Prediction: Zack Ryder wins.
#2 The Usos (c) vs The New Day vs Rusev and Aiden English vs Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin (Fatal Four-Way Tag Team match for the WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship)
The Smackdown Live Tag Team Division has been really hot over the past few months and this match could be the show-stealer of the night as all four teams are coming into this contest with a legitimate shot at winning.
I'm going with The Usos retaining their WWE Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship here as they have been on fire through the course of 2017 and they deserve to end the year as champions.
Prediction: The Usos retain.
#3 Breezago vs The Bludgeon Brothers (Tag Team match)
Breezango and The Bludgeon Brothers finally go face to face at WWE Clash of Champions 2017 and what will be the first real challenge for the newly reunited tag team for Harper and Rowan.
The two former Wyatt Family members have looked dominant in squash matches and they should pick up a big victory over here and possibly transition that into a feud against The Usos or The New Day.
Prediction: The Bludgeon Brothers win.
#4 Charlotte Flair (c) vs Natalya (Lumberjack match for the WWE Smackdown Women's Championship)
The Smackdown Live Women's Division right now seems to be a cheap knockoff of the Raw Women's Division and I'm expecting that to hurt what would otherwise have been a great match between Charlotte Flair and Natalya.
Expect the Riott Squad as well as the rest of the division to get involved heavily throughout the match but for Charlotte to retain the belt and transition into a feud against Ruby Riott.
Prediction: Charlotte Flair retains.
#5 Baron Corbin (c) vs Dolph Ziggler vs Bobby Roode (Triple Threat match for the WWE United States Championship)
While Baron Corbin vs Bobby Roode for the WWE United States Championship was a perfectly acceptable matchup, it seems like the creative team decided to introduce Dolph Ziggler into the mix solely to protect the other two men.
The Showoff will almost certainly be eating the pinfall here and I think The Lone Wolf should retain his championship and prolong his feud against The Glorious One.
Prediction: Baron Corbin retains.
#6 Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura vs Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn (Tag Team match with Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan as Special Guest Referees)
Oh, this one promises to be an almighty mess unless the WWE somehow conjures a sensible end to this storyline. Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan will both be Special Guest Referees as Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn put their WWE careers on the line against Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura.
It's almost certain that Owens and Zayn will be winning here but are we going to see some serious friction between Daniel Bryan or Shane McMahon in the process? I certainly think so, yes.
Prediction: Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn win.
#7 AJ Styles (c) vs Jinder Mahal (Singles match for the WWE Championship)
AJ Styles defends his WWE Championship against Jinder Mahal in what could very well be The Modern Day Maharaja's final taste of the main event scene for the foreseeable future at WWE Clash of Champions 2017.
The Phenomenal One will need to deal with the presence of the Singh Brothers at ringside but he needs to come out on top here because the WWE Championships deserves someone like AJ to be its owner.
Prediction: AJ Styles retains.
