WWE Clash at the Castle: What You Need to Know
If you love WWE and you’re hunting for the biggest moments from the newest stadium‑style show, you’ve landed in the right spot. Clash at the Castle isn’t just another pay‑per‑view – it’s a live‑in‑the‑rounds experience that mixes classic British backdrops with the flash of modern wrestling. Below you’ll get the rundown on what happened, who shone, and how you can catch the next edition.
Event Overview – When and Where
Clash at the Castle took place on July 20, 2025, inside the historic Dover Castle grounds, turning ancient stone walls into a massive wrestling arena. The setting gave the production a gritty feel that matched the hard‑hitting matches on the card. Over 30,000 fans packed the outdoor venue, and the open‑air setup let the crowd’s roar travel across the moat, creating a vibe you don’t get in a regular arena.
The show was streamed live on WWE Network and also aired on major sports channels across the UK, Europe, and parts of Africa. For fans in South Africa, the broadcast hit the local feed at 9 PM SAST, meaning you could watch the action in real time without a crazy time‑zone shuffle.
Match Card Highlights – Who Stole the Spotlight
The main event featured Roman Reigns defending his Universal Championship against a surprise challenger, Kofi Kingston. After a back‑and‑forth that saw the crowd on its feet, Reigns retained with a spear, but Kingston’s resilience earned a standing ovation.
Other big moments included a women’s tag team bout where Bianca Belair teamed up with Rhea Ripley to take down Sasha Banks and Naomi. The chemistry between Belair and Ripley was obvious, and the finish—an impressive 450° splash—will be replayed for weeks.
Undercard highlights featured a high‑flyer showdown between Ricochet and Austin Theory. Theory’s power moves clashed with Ricochet’s aerial style, ending in a double‑countout that left fans wanting a rematch. Also worth mentioning was the debut of a new tag team, “The Castle Crushers,” who made a statement by beating the veteran duo of The Usos in a 2‑out‑of‑3 falls match.
Beyond the matches, the event’s production included a live band playing during entrances, a pyrotechnic display that lit the castle walls, and a surprise video cameo from legendary WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who delivered a classic mic drop before the final bell.
