WWE Clash of Champions 2017: 5 Last-minute predictions for the PPV

WWE's final pay-per-view of the year is Clash of Champions and the show is not one without consequence. As The Royal Rumble looms closer with the Road to WrestleMania on the way, the Clash of Champions event will do a lot to set up the stories leading to the Show Of Shows.

There are a lot of matches with high stakes in this event, but we've picked five of the top matches to break down a little bit as WWE rolls into the big show.

#1 Baron Corbin vs Bobby Roode vs Dolph Ziggler

Bobby Roode is getting his first real taste at a championship opportunity on the main roster in this match and although he could certainly run with the US Title, Ziggler's story is the more interesting one here.

Dolph Ziggler has been hinting he could be going elsewhere when his WWE contract is up and he's not happy about always being a guy who is looked at to put others over. If backstage tension found its way into this match it wouldn't be too surprising.

But the battle for the US Title might be a matter of who WWE sees leading the mid-card into 2018. Baron Corbin makes a good champion, but WWE could always find it time to have a Glorious champion or give something back to Ziggler as a "thank you" gift before he takes his final bow.

But in the end, it would be nice to see WWE give the US Title to Ziggler and let him run as a heel champ for a while.

Prediction: Dolph Ziggler def. Bobby Roode and Baron Corbin
