WWE is finally bringing a major stadium event back to the United Kingdom after 30 years with Clash at the Castle - happening on Saturday, September 3, 2022, from Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

For the main event, WWE Undisputed Universal champion Roman Reigns will put his titles on the line in front of the U.K.'s very own Drew McIntyre.

The highly-anticipated clash puts the Tribal Chief's more than 700-day title reign at possible risk of coming to an end.

McIntyre will fight in front of his hometown crowd behind him.

However, the sole task of ending the title run of Reigns will be no easy feat to achieve on the night.

The SmackDown women's title is also set to be defended as Liv Morgan will take on a fresh challenger in Shayna Baszler.

The build-up to September's showpiece has started but the full card is far from finalized.

Regardless, here's what we know so far about the upcoming WWE Clash at the Castle.
