<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Clash of Champions Matches</strong></h2>



<p>WWE added several new matches to the Clash of Champions card this week, and according to <em>Wrestling Observer Newsletter</em>, two more matches are in the pipeline.</p>



<p>WWE is internally listing <strong>Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan</strong> for the PPV, a matchup that was originally planned for Summerslam but was eventually scrapped. WWE is also planning matches for the Women’s Tag Team Championships and the US Title. However, Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss along with AJ Styles are yet to find an opponent for the PPV.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sasha Banks Is a Paul Heyman Girl</strong></h2>



<p>According to WON, Sasha Banks’ promo this week on RAW was completely written by Executive Director of RAW, Paul Heyman himself, and he is a strong advocate of the former NXT Women’s Champion.</p>



<p>Paul Heyman was also said to be the main factor behind Banks’ recent heel turn, and he has a large part to play in Banks’ current character.</p>



<p>Sasha Banks was in a desperate need for proper booking on the main roster, and it seems like she is finally getting what she deserves.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>WWE To Conduct Another Draft Before The FOX Move</strong></h2>



<p>Dave Meltzer reports that WWE is planning to conduct a full-fledged draft, similar to the one which took place in 2016 before SmackDown Live moves to Friday nights on FOX.</p>



<p>The Wild Card Rule will also be taken off WWE programming, and the ‘hard’ brand-split will be enforced once again.</p>



<p>It was originally reported that WWE is not planning to make significant changes to either of the rosters, but it seems like those plans have changed. A lot of details are yet to be finalized, and it will be interesting to see when the draft takes place.</p>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>&#8220;Congratulations to Enzo, I’m sure spreading rumors has worked well for him. I just don’t want any part of it.&#8221;</p></blockquote>



<p>Enzo and Cass recently reunited as a tag-team on the independent scene, and will likely join Ring of Honor soon.</p>
