WWE SmackDown: WAW Clash Card
🗓 WWE · August 21, 2026 · USA Network
1

CM Punk (c) vs. Kevin Owens — Undisputed WWE Championship

Owens doesn’t need much motivation to walk into a title shot, and Punk’s been a walking target since winning the strap. This has all the ingredients for a fight that spills outside the ring and maybe even into the crowd. Both guys thrive in chaos.

WAW Pick: Punk retains in a messy finish involving outside interference or a ref bump that leaves everyone frustrated.

2

The MFT (c) vs. Damian Priest & R-Truth — WWE Tag Team Championship

R-Truth and Priest is one of those partnerships that shouldn’t work but does because Truth’s insanity keeps Priest sharp. MFT’s been solid holders, but this crowd’s gonna be loud for both teams.

WAW Pick: MFT holds onto the straps clean in under ten minutes.

3

Giulia vs. Blake Monroe

Giulia’s been on a tear, and Monroe’s getting time on the card. This is a showcase match with one clear direction.

WAW Pick: Giulia goes over decisively.

4

Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton Segment/Potential Physical Altercation

Whatever’s brewing between these two before Sunday Night’s Main Event, expect it to boil over. Cody and Orton together is either gold or a train wreck—no in-between.

WAW Pick: They tear into each other, refs separate them, and we get a quick tease of whatever match is coming.

🎲 WAW Wildcard

Bronson Reed could make a surprise appearance tonight. He’s been teasing a return with cryptic videos, and a live SmackDown crowd in Canada is exactly the kind of moment WWE loves for shock returns. Even if it’s just a backstage segment or video package, don’t be shocked to see The Vision pop up.
