WWE Clash of Champions 2019: 4 Things that could happen at the PPV

#3 Nakamura defeats The Miz with the help of Sami Zayn

Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn

The Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura will take on The Miz at Spectrum Center. Since winning the title at Extreme Rules, this will be Nakamura's first title defense in a pay-per-view, as the Japanese Superstar skipped SummerSlam. The Miz, on the other hand, suffered a loss in the first round of the King of the Ring tournament but beat Andrade in a non-title match recently and has some momentum on his side.

However, one of Nakamura's advantages going into the match will be the presence of Sami Zayn beside him, with the latter emerging as the champion's mouthpiece in recent times. Given the involvement of Zayn, one could expect him to interfere in the Intercontinental Championship match at Clash of Champions. The Miz will be aiming to win his ninth Intercontinental Title but Zayn could turn out to be a major obstacle for the A-Lister.

#2 AJ Styles retains the US Title

Styles will be facing off against Cedric Alexander

Just a few days before Clash of Champions, WWE announced the opponent for the US Champion, AJ Styles. The Phenomenal One will face off against an exuberant Cedric Alexander who has been a victim of The OC in the past two weeks. This could be quite an exciting match, as both Superstars are extremely talented in the squared circle.

A match between Cedric and Styles already happened on RAW this week, but the match ended in no contest after interference from Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. However, Styles and Cedric crossed paths again in a tag team match on the same night when the latter pinned the US Champion.

With Gallows and Anderson present at the ringside, beating Styles could prove to be an insurmountable task for the former Cruiserweight Champion on Sunday. After the reunion of The OC, Styles has been unstoppable and he is unlikely to lose the title.

If Gallows and Anderson interrupt their match again, Alexander might come out as a weak competitor, therefore, the champion should earn a clean victory at Clash of Champions.
