With WWE preparing for its big Clash At The Castle event on the June 15th, fans are already preparing their guesses as to how the show will turn out, as well as what direction the rivalries that will be initiated at the announced event will take . That being said, there has been a recent promotion of the WWE SmackDown event in the following days that may contain a rather big reveal about what would transpire in the World Heavyweight Championship contest.
An advertisement from the official X handle, Madison Square Garden, has revealed an exciting fight for the 28th of June episode of WWE SmackDown. The promo shows that the audience is in for yet another bout between the World Heavyweight Champion Damien Priest and the muscle-man “Main Event” Jey Uso. This statement has garnered much controversy among wrestling fans, especially given that it suggests that Priest will keep his belt before challenging Drew McIntyre at Clash At The Castle.
What makes this advertisement particularly noteworthy is the absence of the usual “card subject to change” disclaimer. This omission, coupled with the specific mention of Damien Priest as the champion, has fueled speculation that WWE may have inadvertently revealed the outcome of the Clash At The Castle main event.
JUST ANNOUNCED! From Monday Night RAW see Damian Priest vs. Jey Uso live in a World Heavyweight Championship Match at Friday Night SmackDown on Fri, Jun 28 at The Garden!

It’s worth noting that Drew McIntyre, Priest’s challenger at the upcoming PLE event, hails from Scotland, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the championship clash. Should McIntyre indeed lose at Clash At The Castle, it would mark a significant moment in his career, especially considering his previous unsuccessful world title match at the 2022 Clash At The Castle event in Cardiff, Wales.
In 2022, McIntyre’s bid for the WWE Universal Championship ended in disappointment, but he still managed to captivate the audience with his spirited rendition of iconic songs alongside boxing sensation Tyson Fury. McIntyre’s recent signing of a substantial new deal with WWE underscores his importance to the company’s future plans, regardless of the outcome at Clash At The Castle.
As fans eagerly await the outcome of the World Heavyweight Championship match at Clash At The Castle, this unexpected advertisement has added an intriguing twist to the ongoing narrative. Whether it serves as a genuine spoiler or a clever misdirection remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the excitement surrounding WWE’s Clash At The Castle event has reached fever pitch.
