WWE Clash At The Castle 2024 LIVE RESULTS: CM Punk RETURNS in McIntyre title match – start time, match card, TV channel
CM PUNK made his shock return in the main event of WWE Clash At The Castle in Glasgow, Scotland.
The big show is the first WWE PPV to head to the country, with home star Drew McIntyre headlining as he looked to recapture his WWE heavyweight title.
McIntyre took on champ Damian Priest - but McIntyre's foe CM Punk made a devastating appearance on the card.
Elsewhere on a stacked card, Cody Rhodes put his WWE Undisputed title on the line against AJ Styles.
Chad Gable contract
Chad Gable revealed he signed a new contract with WWE before Clash at the Castle: Scotland.
Yes, I have [signed a new contract. What I’ll say, regarding Hunter [Triple H]. When he got started with us and took over. I think you saw my trajectory change almost immediately.
Even when I was in a tag team with Otis, I started getting singles matches with some of our top guys. To me, a light bulb went off, ‘things might be different now,’ and they have been ever since.
He’s delivered on everything he’s ever told me. When I first came to him, and me and Otis were floundering and not doing much, he said what he was doing was trying to find consistent places on TV for everybody every week.

Scotland's Bayley chants
Scotland's fans backed Piper Niven to win the WWE Women's Championship.
But the Scots couldn't hide their love for titleholder Bayley as well.
That is why they delivered the legendary "Hey Bayley" chant during her fight with Niven.
The American grappler went on to beat the British wrestler at Clash at the Castle.
Drew McIntyre's bad luck
Both of WWE's Clash at the Castle events took place in the United Kingdom.
And Drew McIntyre headlined both premium live events as the greatest British professional wrestler of all time.
However, McIntyre lost both fights and it was twice down to outside interference.
The Scottish Warrior was denied the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in Cardiff two years ago when Solo Sikoa debuted and helped Roman Reigns retain.
And this year CM Punk cost the 39-year-old the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest.
Next WWE show
WWE's next big show is scheduled to take place next month at Money in the Bank.
The legendary event will see six women and six men battle in two different Money in the Bank Ladder Matches.
The winners will be guaranteed a world title match at any time they want within the next 12 months.
The show takes place on July 6 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada.
Piper Niven's moment
Piper Niven's dreams came true as she competed in a WWE ring in front of her family and loved ones in her home country.
Niven came close to winning the WWE Women's Championship from Bayley.
But The Role Model picked up the win with a Crucifix out of desperation.
The Scottish superstar of course enjoyed a massive ovation from her home fans.
Sami Zayn triumphs
Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn defeated Sami Zayn at Clash at the Castle: Scotland.
Zayn took out Gable with a Helluva Kick after the challenger's Alpha Academy associates Maxxine Dupri and Otis walked away.
And the Scottish crowd of course went crazy after the Canadian grappler's victory.
Relive the moment below:
Scotland crowd rocks
The Glasgow crowd will definitely go down in history as one of the most passionate fans in WWE history.
The OVO Hydro often marked over 100 decibels, especially during hometown hero Drew McIntyre's entrance.
Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn also received a very warm reception.
Zayn benefited from the audience's support as he went on to beat Chad Gable.
What's next?
It looks like Drew McIntyre and CM Punk are soon going to fight after the latter cost the Scottish bruiser the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Undisputed WWE Champion may get embroiled in a feud with Solo Sikoa, who organised an assault with his Bloodline team-mates Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga before Kevin Owens and Randy Orton came to the rescue.
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest looks set to face King of the Ring winner Gunther.
WWE Women's Champion Bayley, on the other hand, is on a collision course with Queen of the Ring winner Nia Jax.
And all the aforementioned matches look set for SummerSlam on August 3 at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.
