Best and worst of WWE Clash of Champions 2017
When you first look at the Clash of Champions card, it seems extremely underwhelming. Some may even call it a way to kill time until the Royal Rumble. However, several interesting developments transpired during the show, that could have long-term ramifications.
Coming to us live from the TD Garden in Boston, MA, Clash of Champions was a very interesting event. It did not have the star power than even B-level RAW pay-per-views have, but it more than made up with some good storytelling. Overall, we'd say it was a good show.
Of course, everyone has a different opinion. Feel free to state yours in the comment below, if you disagree with our assessment.
But for what it's worth, here's what we thought of WWE Clash of Champions 2017.
#1 Best: The meltdown
The best thing about the tensions that escalated between Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon to a boiling point at Clash of Champions is the fact that it leaves the door open for a Daniel Bryan return. However, that's a distant fantasy, so we'll mention the second best thing instead.
The equation between Bryan and McMahon, perhaps the two biggest babyfaces in all of WWE, were forever strained when Bryan did not agree with McMahon's recent invasion of RAW. We like how the story stretched out over weeks, leading to an interesting conclusion at Clash of Champions during the co-main event match.
Anyone who's watched WWE for any amount of time knows that having two referees during any match is the setup for both men to disagree and come to blows. While the latter has not happened yet, it will be interesting to see how the McMahon- Bryan saga pans out on SmackDown Live.
The real reason for this angle to play out could be a possible in-ring return from Daniel Bryan, hopefully at WrestleMania.
