Sheamus outlasted Ricochet, Madcap Moss, Happy Corbin and Sami Zayn in an out-of-control Fatal 5-Way Match.

Before Corbin could steal the win, though, Sheamus came out of nowhere and blasted him with a Brogue Kick to pick up the huge win!

With the victory, The Celtic Warrior earned the right to challenge Intercontinental Champion Gunther at WWE Clash at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales on Sept. 3.

Despite being injured, SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan battles Shotzi in a Champion Contender’s Match. Catch WWE action on Peacock, WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.

Despite being injured en route to her title showdown against Shayna Baszler at WWE Clash at the Castle, the resilient SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan triumphed over Shotzi, who was out to hurt the titleholder.

As Liv was celebrating her well-deserved win, Baszler attacked out of nowhere. However, The Submission Magician opted to stop herself before she broke Morgan’s arm because it would prevent Liv from competing in Cardiff, Wales. Instead, she pledged to break her arm and take her title at WWE Clash at the Castle. She then added the exclamation point by kicking Liv in the face.

The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion throws down with his WWE Clash at the Castle challenger. Catch WWE action on Peacock, WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.

In SmackDown’s final moments, a war of words between Roman Reigns and his WWE Clash at the Castle challenger Drew McIntyre quickly descended into all-out chaos. The SmackDown Warrior initiated the altercation, and without The Bloodline there to back up Reigns, McIntyre lined up the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion for a potential Claymore Kick. Before he could hit it, however, Sami Zayn suddenly emerged and took the blow for The Head of the Table. With McIntyre distracted, Reigns hit him with the Superman Punch. When the titleholder went for the Spear, though, McIntyre turned the tables and hit Reigns with an earth-shattering Claymore!
