Welcome to Ringside News’ results for Clash of Champions, the only WWE PPV where every Championship title is on the line.

Tonight’s show is being healdined by the storyline between Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman. The two are the Raw Tag Team Champions, and therefore will be defending their titles against Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. The problem is, Braun and Seth will also face-off later in the night for the WWE Universal Championship. Will this air of animosity and tension lead to them losing their Tag Team Championships? Or will they will be able to put their tension aside and retain?

Kofi Kingston defends the WWE Championship against Randy Orton once again tonight. The marquee SmackDown Live feud has been sparked and fueled by a past rivalry, and Orton has used said past to get inside Kingston’s head. Tonight Orton looks to become a 14X World Champion!

As for the ladies, there are two huge bouts tonight; Becky Lynch Vs. Sasha Banks for the Raw Women’s Championship; and Charlotte Vs. Bayley for the SmackDown Live Women’s Championship. Both of these matches have the potential to be barn burners, and we could very well be looking at new Champions, or at least one. Will the scale balance in favour of the heels or the babyfaces?
