The WWE Universe is still buzzing from the intense match between Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul at King and Queen of the Ring, where The American Nightmare emerged victorious, retaining his Undisputed WWE Championship. With Logan Paul now in the rearview mirror, fans are eagerly anticipating Cody’s next challenger at the upcoming premium live event, Clash at the Castle: Scotland, set to take place on June 15, 2024, in Glasgow, Scotland. Among the top contenders vying for a shot at the championship are Carmelo Hayes, Baron Corbin, and LA Knight.
Carmelo Hayes, the former NXT Champion, has been making waves on the main roster since his call-up to SmackDown. Despite losing to Cody in a non-title match, Melo showcased his skills, and his confident post-match interview on WWE’s The Bump hinted that he’s far from done trying to dethrone the champion. Don’t be surprised if Melo emerges as the next challenger, determined to prove himself as the best in the company.
Meanwhile, Baron Corbin’s career resurgence has been one of the most impressive in recent months. After finding his footing on NXT, Corbin has finally discovered a gimmick that sticks. Although he’s now on the same brand as Cody, his recent draft to SmackDown presents an ideal opportunity to establish himself as a top singles competitor. A showdown against Cody in Scotland could be just what Corbin needs to gain respect from the crowd and prove himself as a legitimate title contender.
Last but not least, LA Knight has become a fan favorite on the WWE roster, generating electrifying reactions wherever he goes. His charisma and in-ring prowess have earned him a spot among the top babyfaces on SmackDown, alongside Cody Rhodes. Cody himself has expressed interest in facing LA Knight, and what better platform than Clash at the Castle, where the electric Scottish crowd is sure to be firmly behind these two beloved superstars? Whoever emerges as the next challenger, one thing is certain – Clash at the Castle is shaping up to be an unforgettable event. Will it be Melo, Corbin, or LA Knight who steps up to challenge The American Nightmare? Only time will tell.
