Clash at the Castle took place at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. It was WWE’s first major PPV to be held in the United Kingdom since London’s Wembley Stadium hosted SummerSlam 1992.
Clash at the Castle was headlined by Roman Reigns defeating Drew McIntyre to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. The PPV also included an instant classic match with Gunther retaining the Intercontinental title against Sheamus.
