The much-anticipated Clash at the Castle 2024 event in Scotland had fans excited, but many were left feeling disappointed by the end of the show. Several mistakes were made throughout the night, leaving fans feeling upset and dejected.
One major point of contention was the lack of a title change for Drew McIntyre. Fans had high hopes that McIntyre would regain his title in his home country, but those hopes were dashed when he lost the match. This was not the first time McIntyre has faced defeat in his hometown, and the interference by CM Punk only added to the fans’ disappointment, leaving them feeling let down by the outcome.
Another misstep was the absence of The OC during Cody Rhodes and AJ Styles’ match. Styles quit the match after being threatened with a set of steel steps, only to be hit with them anyway. Fans were confused and frustrated as to why The OC, who had accompanied Styles earlier in the week, did not intervene. Styles’ clean loss left many questioning the decision-making process behind the booking of this match.

Additionally, fans were disheartened by the absence of Drew McIntyre’s original entrance theme, “Broken Dreams.” Many had hoped that he would be given his original theme as a way to celebrate his return to Scotland. However, when he came out to his regular theme, it seemed to confirm that he wasn’t winning the championship. Although McIntyre’s fans were heartbroken, the special Scottish entrance he received still held significance, but it wasn’t enough to satisfy their expectations.
Finally, the betrayal of Chad Gable by Otis left fans bewildered. During Gable’s match with Sami Zayn, Otis walked away from Gable, costing him the match. This unexpected turn left fans confused about the status of The Alpha Academy. It was unclear whether the team was still together or if Otis had permanently walked away. Fans will have to wait for answers on WWE RAW, but the confusion on the night added to their frustration.
Clash at the Castle 2024 was a night of disappointment for many fans. Several mistakes were made throughout the event, from Drew McIntyre’s loss in his hometown to the absence of The OC in AJ Styles’ match. The WWE Universe was left with many questions and unfulfilled expectations, making it a challenging night for those in attendance and watching at home.
