WWE Clash of Champions 2020 will take place from the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida on September 27.
Nine matches have been announced for WWE Clash of Champions 2020 so far, including Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso (Universal Championship) and Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship Ambulance match).
Every WWE title has to be defended at WWE Clash of Champions 2020, which means three women’s matches have been confirmed for the show: Asuka vs. Zelina Vega (RAW Women’s Championship kickoff show match), Bayley vs. Nikki Cross (SmackDown Women’s Championship), and Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler vs. Ruby Riott & Liv Morgan (Women’s Tag Team titles).
In the men’s tag divisions, The Street Profits will defend the RAW Tag Team titles against Andrade and Angel Garza, while Lucha House Party are set to challenge Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura for the SmackDown Tag Team titles.
Elsewhere on the WWE Clash of Champions 2020 card, Apollo Crews will try to reclaim the United States Championship from Hurt Business member Bobby Lashley. There will also be a Triple Threat ladder match between AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy and Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship.
In this article, let’s try to predict the outcome of every WWE Clash of Champions 2020 match.
#9 WWE Clash of Champions 2020: Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship Ambulance match)
Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton was arguably the most anticipated match on the card at last month’s SummerSlam pay-per-view. Now, following an underwhelming few weeks of storyline developments, neither Superstar has as much momentum heading into their WWE Clash of Champions 2020 match compared to SummerSlam.
With all due respect to both Superstars, it feels like this storyline peaked last month. The inclusion of Keith Lee in the story has not worked, to say the least, and McIntyre vs. Orton is no longer one of the most compelling rivalries in WWE.
Having said that, the next natural step in this storyline is surely for Orton to win the WWE Championship from McIntyre. It is just a question of whether it happens now or at a later date.
It is also worth remembering that The Viper failed to claim the WWE Championship from Kofi Kingston at both SummerSlam and Clash of Champions in 2019.
One year on, surely history will not repeat itself?
Prediction: Randy Orton wins at WWE Clash of Champions 2020
#8 WWE Clash of Champions 2020: Asuka vs. Zelina Vega (RAW Women's Championship)
If Asuka vs. Zelina Vega was booked for the WWE Clash of Champions 2020 main show, almost everyone would choose Asuka as the winner.
Now that WWE has announced the match for the WWE Clash of Champions 2020 kickoff show, it is a certainty that Asuka will retain.
Bayley and Sasha Banks’ dominance of the RAW and SmackDown women’s divisions is over, which means there is a huge list of female Superstars who are still waiting for their opportunity to challenge for Asuka’s RAW Women’s Championship.
Vega looks likely to be one of many who will fail to dethrone The Empress of Tomorrow.
Prediction: Asuka retains at WWE Clash of Champions 2020
#7 WWE Clash of Champions 2020: Bayley vs. Nikki Cross (SmackDown Women's Championship)
One day, Nikki Cross will challenge for a singles title in WWE and it will actually seem possible that she might win. That day, sadly, is not this Sunday.
Bayley vs. Sasha Banks is the title rivalry that everybody wants to see right now, and Cross’ latest SmackDown Women’s Championship match is merely a stop-gap in that storyline.
Prediction: Bayley retains at WWE Clash of Champions 2020
#6 WWE Clash of Champions 2020: The Street Profits vs. Andrade & Angel Garza (RAW Tag Team titles)
This is one of the toughest matches to predict at WWE Clash of Champions 2020.
Andrade and Angel Garza looked on the verge of splitting up after Zelina Vega walked out on them just a couple of weeks ago. The Street Profits, on the other hand, are a cohesive unit and they are now in their seventh month as RAW Tag Team Champions.
A victory for the heel duo is not unrealistic – they should be more motivated than ever after Vega’s walkout – but their inability to co-exist as tag team partners might cost them again.
Prediction: The Street Profits retain at WWE Clash of Champions 2020
#5 WWE Clash of Champions 2020: Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler vs. Ruby Riott & Liv Morgan (Women's Tag Team titles)
As mentioned in the Asuka vs. Zelina Vega preview, the RAW women’s division is already stacked with Superstars who are ready to challenge Asuka for the RAW Women’s Championship.
If Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler lose the Women’s Tag Team titles and suddenly go back to being singles competitors after four weeks, this title reign will have turned out to be completely pointless.
Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan have an outside chance of walking away with the titles, but Jax and Baszler have got to be the favorites.
Prediction: Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler retain at WWE Clash of Champions 2020
#4 WWE Clash of Champions 2020: Bobby Lashley vs. Apollo Crews (United States Championship)
With Cedric Alexander now on board, The Hurt Business has looked like a legitimate threat to everybody on the roster in the weeks leading up to WWE Clash of Champions 2020.
The CEO of The Hurt Business, Bobby Lashley, dethroned Apollo Crews as United States Champion at Payback last month, and it would be very surprising if The All Mighty lost his title just four weeks later.
The obvious outcome here is a win for Lashley, meaning Crews drops out of the title picture. The Hurt Business can then focus on their feud with RETRIBUTION after the pay-per-view.
Prediction: Bobby Lashley retains at WWE Clash of Champions 2020
#3 WWE Clash of Champions 2020: Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Lucha House Party (SmackDown Tag Team titles)
The only way Lucha House Party win this match is if WWE’s decision-makers have plans to go in a completely different direction with Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura as singles Superstars.
Lucha House Party’s recent burst of momentum has come out of nowhere, which is sometimes a sign that a Superstar or tag team is going to win a title at the next possible opportunity.
In this case, let’s play it safe and assume that Cesaro and Nakamura’s reign will not end just yet.
Prediction: Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura retain at WWE Clash of Champions 2020
#2 WWE Clash of Champions 2020: Jeff Hardy vs. AJ Styles vs. Sami Zayn (Intercontinental Championship ladder match)
It is possible to make a case for all three of these Superstars to leave WWE Clash of Champions 2020 as Intercontinental Champion, but Jeff Hardy and/or Sami Zayn seems like the safest choice.
Several Championships have turned into pass-the-parcel titles in WWE over the last couple of years, and the Intercontinental Championship is one of them.
Given that two Intercontinental Championships will be hanging above the ring at WWE Clash of Champions 2020, perhaps we could see Hardy and Zayn each claim a title to add another layer of confusion to this Intercontinental Championship storyline.
Prediction: Jeff Hardy and Sami Zayn claim the titles at WWE Clash of Champions 2020
#1 WWE Clash of Champions 2020: Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso (Universal Championship)
Credit to WWE, nobody would have predicted a Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso storyline after The Big Dog’s Universal Championship win at Payback.
The outcome of this Cousin vs. Cousin match is obvious – Reigns wrecks Jey Uso and leaves – but it is still going to be must-see.
Expect Reigns to give his cousin the beating of a lifetime at WWE Clash of Champions 2020, cementing his status as the top bad guy in WWE.
Prediction: Roman Reigns retains at WWE Clash of Champions 2020
