Humberto Carrillo has had a difficult time in recent months, while Lince Dorado defeated Drew Gulak in the most recent episode of 205 Live.
Both showed that they had the tools to win, but none showed that he was able to lead a brand in terms of character, promotions and presence.
Gulak, however, has these skills and there is no reason to take away the title, especially for those two. They bring nothing to the table that can match or surpass the reign of the University City Stretcher title.
There has also been more of a feud between Carrillo and Dorado leading up to this Triple Threat match than anything concerning Gulak, which could continue. If Gulak succeeds in exploiting these problems, he will benefit and retain his title of champion before moving on to bigger things.
The only way to change the title is if Gulak is about to change brands and become the focal point of NXT, Raw or SmackDown, but there is nothing to indicate that the Cruiserweight Championship could not do it. accompany in any of these scenarios. .
Final choice: Gulak retains the title.

It's hard to bet on anyone in place of Cedric Alexander while he was away from the US Championship hunt until the reentry episode at Raw.
For the most part, WWE has thrown it at the last minute as AJ Styles' opponent for Clash of Champions by asking him to nominate the champion to justify his position as first candidate .
There was not a lot of construction beyond that. He does not have a ton of momentum on his side, despite his talent.
Meanwhile, Styles can overcome this hurdle through his experience and talent, as well as through eventual help, with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson intervening to position him to his advantage.
It would not be absurd for Alexander to get angry and win the title, but it's harder than keeping the belt on Styles, who is the biggest star.
Final choice: Styles retains the title.

Virtually no effort has been put into making the Women's Team Championship a success, which probably means it's only on the map because the gimmick of the event is that all the titles are at stake
This match had already been played before, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross beating Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. In fact, Cross even beat Rose in the last edition of SmackDown to offset their defeat which made Fire and Desire the first competitor.
This will be a fill match that should not include a title change. Bliss and Cross are more likely to do something with the upcoming titles.
On them, the championship was more central than when The IIconics held the belt. If Rose and Deville became champions, it would be like being lost again, because they do not seem to have as much time on the screen as Bliss and Cross.
Final choice: Bliss and Cross keep the titles.

The Intercontinental Championship game is hard to call as there are too many upcoming events shortly after Clash of Champions that could influence the outcome of this match.
The Miz is a champion eight times, and if he won again, he would be tied for the record held by Chris Jericho. With Y2J in All Elite Wrestling, WWE might be tempted to attend The Miz match or even surpass that record to subtract this honor from Jericho's history books.
But while this seems like a guarantee, The A-Lister will beat Shinsuke Nakamura, it's not a certainty to take place at the Clash of Champions.
WWE may want to wait for the title change to occur when Fox launches SmackDown. It would be exciting and something that attracts all new viewers watching the program for the first time.
This reservation philosophy goes hand in hand with the fact that virtually all special episodes of Raw and SmackDown tend to have title changes. In fact, the Miz won the intercontinental championship on Raw 25 and Raw 1000.
There is also Hell in a Cell and the next event in Saudi Arabia that could change titles, so nothing is frozen in stone. However, given that The Miz is a bigger star than Nakamura and is looking for that record, the gold medal will go as soon as possible. That's why it's worth giving him an edge in this match and see if the WWE is holding the trigger now or waiting for another win. a few weeks.
Final choice: The Miz wins the title.

This year, The Revival has had several reigns of titles, but nothing says it convinced them to sign new contracts with WWE.
If becoming a champion at Raw was not attractive enough, it is doubtful that the same braces, but in blue, do not make them change their minds.
With this as the currency of exchange and the idea that The New Day are more popular stars to represent the team division of SmackDown to the Survivor series, there is no point in letting the titles change hands at Clash of Champions.
The Revival has been amused at attacking The New Day over the last few weeks. It's now time for Big E and Xavier Woods to give them a little back.
Final choice: The New Day keeps the titles.

With only three weeks between Clash of Champions and Hell in a Cell, it is clear that Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton will still fight inside the demonic structure, likely to end their enmity.
The only part of this equation that remains unresolved is which of the two will enter the cage as a champion, because there is a justification for both.
On the one hand, the Viper capturing the title presents a bigger challenge to face and eventually recover for Kingston. However, there is no automatic retaliation clause, and if Orton wins, this proves his argument that Kingston can not beat him properly.
If Kingston had won at SummerSlam, Orton would have more leeway to organize a rubber match. On the contrary, Kingston must be maintained in one way or another, even if he technically loses the match due to disqualification or counting, or if they are fighting for a match. no.
Final choice: Kingston retains the title.

Who would have thought that Erick Rowan would not only find his name, but also his credibility in fighting the Roman reigns of all peoples?
Normally, Rowan would be fed Reigns and no one would think twice. But he seems to pose a threat.
As absurd as this scenario has been, the WWE has at least managed to make credible the fact that Rowan has what it takes to brutalize enough Reigns to put him out of action. He could possibly win this match without disqualification as he will be free to use his armament and stage equipment to his advantage, as he has done in recent weeks.
It is also possible that Daniel Bryan intervene in any way, which could make that Reigns succumbs to an assault to two. That would not make sense if Rowan recently criticized Bryan, but the WWE has never done better than to go against logic, especially if it protects someone. one and creates a future match.
If the game plan is Reigns against Bryan in Hell in a cell or a triple threat also involving Rowan, look for Reigns to lose this game. But given how this quarrel has turned around the Big Dog, WWE may panic and want to give it a victory so that its credibility is not diminished.
Final choice: Reigns wins.

Charlotte Flair may have an advantage in her hometown in Spectrum Center, or perhaps she is precisely what drives her to lose.
The traditional philosophy of bookings has two extremes for a resident of his region, either give them a triumphal victory to burst the crowd, or beat them to heat their opponent enormously for depriving the public of this joy.
Bayley's recent heel shift has breathed new life into her after stagnating as the same baby-faced character she's described throughout her career. It is not necessary to take the title and put an end to this momentum.
Fighting Flair in Charlotte could reinforce the fact that Bayley is a shame now and even institute a full face-to-face turn for The Queen as a result of a sympathetic loss.
The result of this match is directly synchronized with the Raw Women's Championship, as both have implications for the champion match against the November Survivor Series champion.
A win for Bayley predicts Becky Lynch will be retained, while Flair will become champion and help set up Sasha Banks. In this way, there can be a heel and a babyface against each other.
These options are also valid, but Bayley's character change may well allow her to keep her belt to the waist, as she could finally use dishonorable methods to win and upset the crowd.
Final choice: Bayley retains the title.

It's hard to beat the potential of WWE by giving Sasha Banks the Raw Women's Championship. She has been making waves since her return and the buzz will fade dramatically if she loses this game.
But putting the belt on The Boss poses a major marketing problem with the release of WWE 2K20, scheduled for October 22nd.
With Becky Lynch featured on the cover, it makes no sense to drop the title one month before the start of the match. His loss of status on the list could have a negative influence on the perceived value of the game.
As interesting as Banks could win as a TV champion, it might be too risky for WWE to consider changing the company, as lowering this year's game sales may not be worth the benefits of the game. to have a new champion.
Instead, The Man should keep this belt at least during the holidays, which would put her in the Survivor Series as the Raw Champion to fight SmackDown's stub, Bayley, to pay for their recent interactions with this quarrel. Lynch against Banks.
There is a small chance that Lynch will lose the title here, only to get it back at Hell in a Cell on October 6th – which would follow Banks' pattern of losing four titles in his first defense, but that's not the case. simpler and easier not to have to make two changes in a month and just keep it on The Man.
Final choice: Lynch retains the title.

There is no chance that Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins will keep the Raw Tag Team Champions in hell in a cell, since the only reason they received the titles was to prepare for their Clash of Champions match.
Whether they are defeated by Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode or that they drop the belt to another team like The OC on the Raw following this event, the result will be that they will have to lose the titles in order to pass to something else.
It makes more sense for them to lose to Ziggler and Roode earlier in the night, as this may be due to miscommunication that increases the stakes of their match for the World Championship.
After all, if they fight in the main event as co-champions, they will be in a better mood after keeping their titles. WWE does not want that. The money is in a scenario where they are more bitter to each other for losing the titles.
For the sake of tension and to obtain the straps of a new team that can quarrel with The Viking Raiders and perhaps even represent Raw in the champion match against Survivor Series champion, gold must change of hands.
Final choice: Roode and Ziggler win the titles.

Poor Strowman has never been able to win the World Championship, and the same thing will happen at the Clash of Champions.
WWE has made every effort to put the title on Rollins at WrestleMania and to try to strengthen it in the last few months. His defeat against Brock Lesnar was quickly corrected to restore the status quo and reaffirm The Beast Slayer as Raw's best player.
It is illogical that the game plan is to let him give the championship to Strowman, especially now that we know that Bray Wyatt has claimed the place of the No. 1 contender for Hell in a Cell.
Between the two options, The Fiend has more momentum to defeat Rollins than The Monster Among Men, and it makes no sense to put the belt on Strowman just to lose it three weeks later to Wyatt.
L & # 39; O.C. Wyatt played a leading role in this story and could interfere, which could make it a helpless clash to protect Strowman from the loss. Or, if WWE wants to make it clear that Rollins is worth it, he could have a clean pin on his partner.
In any case, the bet is that the title stays with Rollins rather than assuming that Strowman's performance record is near but no cigar will play differently.
Final choice: Rollins retains the title.
