Fans were quick to react this morning when the news broke, with many hopping onto social media to chat about the unexpected event. This event shares its name with the record-breaking Clash At the Castle that happened at Principality Stadium in Cardiff in September 2022.

In just an hour after the announcement, more than three-quarters of hotels on Booking.com near the arena were booked up - so best book fast. Even Travelodge has also showed that there were only a few rooms left in several of its Glasgow branches.
It's already a huge week for wrestling fans, with superstar-turned-movie-star The Rock fighting his first WWE match in nearly ten years at Wrestlemania XL in Philadelphia this weekend. There are loads of other exciting matches happening too.
One match that British fans will be really excited about is on the second night. Scottish wrestler and former WWE champion Drew McIntyre is going up against Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Who could be appearing?
McIntyre, who was reportedly holding off on signing a new contract with the TKO-owned wrestling giant, is featured in the initial artwork for Clash at the Castle: Scotland. This makes us wonder if he could be getting a champion's welcome back to his home country.
McIntyre's previous title run happened during the Covid pandemic, so he performed mostly without an audience. This new PPV could be a dream come true and a well-deserved start to a new championship journey.
McIntyre is arguably the top Scottish wrestling talent, but there are many others that fans will be rooting for, including Piper Niven, Alba Fyre, Isla Dawn, Nikki Cross, Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang and Noam Dar.
The poster also shows Cody Rhodes who could became WWE Universal Champion at WrestleMania, should he win the dominant Roman Reigns.
A surprise appearance on the artwork is Jade Cargill, a new WWE signing who just made her WWE SmackDown debut this past Friday.
