It seems like just yesterday that Payback 2020 was done and dusted and now, in almost no time at all, we're just a week removed from WWE Clash of Champions 2020. Even though the basic premise for the pay-per-view is that it's a 'gold rush' meaning that every Championship will be on the line this weekend, something to note is the lack of excitement and fanfare around WWE Clash of Champions 2020, which has never traditionally been a very notable pay-per-view event for the company.
So, what are the surprises that could potentially take place at WWE Clash of Champions 2020, this weekend, you ask? Even though the card hasn't been set (this article is being penned down 24 hours before the go-home episode of RAW), these surprises may just happen based on the matches that have been announced.
Once again, here is a disclaimer that this is not inside news, but fantasy booking, from the perspective of a wrestling fan, much like you, so you're welcome to chime in, in the comments section below.
#5 Daniel Bryan returns to confront Roman Reigns at WWE Clash of Champions 2020
Daniel Bryan is away on paternity leave, but it may finally be time for him to return after Roman Reigns vanquishes Jey Uso at WWE Clash of Champions 2020. Roman Reigns needs a babyface challenger of the highest caliber, who can suffer a loss and not sink down the ranks, and there's none better than Daniel Bryan for the role.
Unlike Jey Uso, who we know is not going to become the Universal Champion at WWE Clash of Champions 2020, there could be a hint of doubt in the back of fans' minds if they saw Daniel Bryan confront Roman Reigns.
#4 Otis cashes in his contract on the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships
Otis was interviewed by Digital Spy prior to Money in the Bank and he was asked which title he wants to cash in on:
If I get the briefcase, we're challenging for the Tag Team titles. I don't think there's a rule of what titles to challenge for, so we're going to challenge for the Tag Team titles, cash it in and that's what's going to happen... if I can get up that ladder.
And now, Otis has added incentive to cash in on the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions- The Street Profits with Tucker, especially if you consider that the love of his life- Mandy Rose, has been traded to RAW and nobody will see this surprise coming.
It would be even sweeter if Otis and Tucker cash in on a heel team, if the Street Profits are defeated by a heel team at WWE Clash of Champions 2020.
Maybe someday in the future Otis could actually become the brand new WWE Universal Champion as well, as pictured above.
#3 Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler implode and stunningly lose their Championships at WWE Clash of Champions 2020
Even though Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, anyone that has seen their chemistry in the ring is probably aware that they are just a few seconds away from implosion and that could certainly be the case at WWE Clash of Champions 2020 this year. They go up against Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott AKA the Riott Squad at WWE Clash of Champions 2020 and where the challengers have the upper hand is that they have been a unit for far longer than Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler, even though they pale in comparison when it comes to size.
There could be miscues and miscommunication during the course of the match at WWE Clash of Champion 2020, which could lead to Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler turning on one another and losing their titles in the process as well. There needs to be at least one title change during the night, and this does seem quite likely.
#2 A hypnotized Alexa Bliss costs Nikki Cross a big win at WWE Clash of Champions 2020
In the weeks leading up to WWE Clash of Champions 2020, we have seen a major change in Alexa Bliss, who seems to be entranced by the mystique of The Fiend, to the extent where she has delivered Sister Abigail on two consecutive occasions. What we do know is that Bayley and Nikki Cross will tussle at WWE Clash of Champions 2020 and Alexa Bliss is pretty much guaranteed to play a part in the proceedings, because her current gimmick has been a major talking point for the company. Could she finally deliver Sister Abigail to Nikki Cross on the floor, costing her the SmackDown Women's Championship at WWE Clash of Champions 2020?
We're clearly heading towards Nikki Cross vs. Alexa Bliss after WWE Clash of Champions 2020.
Sasha Banks could make a return at WWE Clash of Champions 2020 but it would be far too soon to bring her back after he kayfabe injury suffered at the hands of Bayley.
#1 The Fiend assaults Paul Heyman shortly after his big win at WWE Clash of Champions 2020
As has been mentioned before, there is absolutely no chance at all that Roman Reigns, a man with so much momentum right now will lose the Universal Championship at WWE Clash of Champions 2020. And so, as he stands tall and proud over Jey Uso, chances are that The Fiend could show up to renew the rivalry that began at SummerSlam at WWE Clash of Champions 2020.
But instead of laying his hands on Roman Reigns, he could, instead, choose to assault Paul Heyman, who is the newest entrant in the Firefly Funhouse anyway as Wobbly Walrus.
And this could set up a big rivalry for when WWE Clash of Champions 2020 is done, as we approach Hell in a Cell and beyond, because, with all due respect to Jey Uso, he is not a believable challenger for Roman Reigns at this point in time.
Before this week's episode of RAW comes around, catch up on last week's show with Road Warrior Animal.
