<p>WWE’s next PPV offering is Clash of Champions, which takes place in three weeks&#8217; time. Currently, the card features just one match, with Bayley defending her title against Charlotte Flair. It was rumored last week that Braun Strowman will challenge for Seth Rollins, and there were plans for a New Day vs Revival match.</p>



<p>According to <em>Wrestling Observer Newsletter</em>, <strong>The Miz vs Shinsuke Nakamura</strong> will now take place at the PPV, with a previously planned <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Ali-Nakamura feud (opens in a new tab)" href="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/news/wwe-drops-shinsuke-nakamura-ali-feud-on-smackdown-live/" target="_blank">Ali-Nakamura feud</a> seemingly dropped from the card.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Buddy Murphy To Get a Big Push In The King of The Ring Tournament</strong></h2>



<p>Buddy Murphy is currently in midst of a great run on SmackDown Live, having defeated Daniel Bryan last week along with a hard-fought defeat against Roman Reigns the week before. According to Dave Meltzer of WON, Buddy Murphy could end up being the eventual finalist from the SmackDown side, and could even win the whole thing at Clash of Champions.</p>



<p>Considering his recent push, tremendous potential, and a weak SmackDown half due to Owens losing in the first round, Buddy Murphy is definitely looking a major favorite for the KOTR.</p>
