We are now less than 24 hours away from WWE Clash of Champions. The card looks pretty good and the show will be headlined by Braun Strowman challenging WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins with a Bray Wyatt sized shadow hanging over the match.

Other big matches on the card see Sasha Banks challenging 'The Man' for the RAW Women's title, Kofi Kingston defending the WWE Championship against Randy Orton as well as Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins defending their RAW Tag-Team Championships against Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler.

A number of rumors have surfaced ahead of the PPV as well making this a great time to take a look at some of them.

It was a pretty strange situation regarding Sasha Banks following WrestleMania in April when rumors were rife that The Boss had quit WWE. Banks was off television for months which only meant that she was even better received at her recent return, even though The Boss came back as a heel and immediately attacked Natalya and then Becky Lynch.

Banks and Lynch have been embroiled in this feud since the night The Boss returned and recently SmackDown Women's Champion and Sasha's best friend Bayley was herself drawn into the feud. Bayley joined Sasha and unloaded on Becky with a steel chair.

At WWE Clash of Champions later tonight, The Boss will have to put her money where her mouth is as she gets into the squared circle with 'The Man'.

According to reports, there could be a number of title changes at Clash of Champions and the RAW Women's Championship could be one of the titles to change hands. Can Becky Lynch retain her title or is it Sasha Banks's time once again?

#2 Roman Reigns already set for a huge post-Clash of Champions feud

One thing not a lot of WWE fans saw coming was exactly where the Roman Reigns attacker storyline ended up. Even though some would have guessed that it was Rowan, no one could predict that WWE would suddenly book this man to destroy Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan, both multiple-time world champions, on the same segment on SmackDown Live. This is the same man who WWE booked a couple of years ago to lose to The Rock at Wrestlemania in a matter of seconds.

Rowan now has one of the biggest singles matches of his career later tonight. However, like a number of bigger stars before him, it looks increasingly unlikely that he will be able to beat the 'Big Dog' in an actual match.

As far as post Clash of Champions rumors go, it looks like WWE are setting Roman up to beat Rowan and then move onto a feud with Daniel Bryan. At this point, it doesn't look like Rowan's singles push will be prolonged.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider has reported that Wyatt will be in the building at Clash of Champions and that WWE have a surprise segment planned for him. Although there aren’t many other details, it looks pretty likely that Bray Wyatt will appear at the end of the PPV, following the WWE Universal Championship match between Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman, to attack the winner and set up a massive title match at Hell In A Cell.

The Fiend has been on a roll since his WWE debut and WWE have booked him well so far. The Fiend holding the WWE Universal title could be just what WWE need to shake up the product with ratings on a slight decline.
