A Botch at the start of the event was not what anyone was expecting at WWE Clash at the Castle in Glasgow, Scotland. The show featured five highly anticipated bouts promising to be an excellent event. The event started with a brutal match between AJ Styles and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. As everyone was ready for the veterans to showcase another classic, a major botch was seen on live TV.
A huge error was made by the production staff during the introductions for the I Quit match between Cody Rhodes and AJ Styles for the Undisputed WWE Championship. The American Nightmare had the incorrect championship stated on his lower-title name card in addition to an incorrect name.

For whatever reason, his name appeared as “Talent Name” in the title graphic, indicating that he was a part of the Women’s Tag Team Champions. It wasn’t the kind of start the WWE production team would have imagined and it took seconds for the people on social to make fun of it and make memes about it. Though it was seen by the fans, it appeared for almost a second before being removed by the production team.

Scotland’s crowd was hyped up to see the American Nightmare open the show with his dominant performance. As Rhodes declared that he would go as brutal as he could go, he did everything he could to defend his title and was successful in a heroic effort.
“Someone’s getting fired for that”, fans jokingly troll the WWE management after Cody Rhodes’ epic name botch
As soon as the graphic blunder was seen on TV, fans instantly poked fun at Rhodes and the WWE production team for having such an error. “It’s my favorite wrestler Talent Name”, and “Ah yes my champion Talent Name,” said various users on the error in the name of the Champion. Others poked fun at the management stating “Someone’s getting fired for that blunder” and “You know someone in production is embarrassed about that one right now.”

Being the first match on the show, fans didn’t expect to see such a botch from the production team. This also puts Triple H in a pool of questions after his remarks regarding the improved production quality of WWE.
Cody Rhodes had several unwelcomed guests after his impressive showing at Clash at the Castle
The match itself between Styles and Rhodes delivered in each aspect. From brutal assaults from the challenger to a dominant display of charisma and determination from the champion, the match had everything that fans needed. Cody handcuffed Styles to the rope and unleashed heavy chair shots showcasing his brutality. The American Nightmare then proceeded to get the steel steps to pour more damage.
As he prepared to hit the steel steps to a handcuffed Styles, The Phenomenal One had enough and yelled ‘I Quit’ ending the match in the process. As Rhodes looked to celebrate his victory in style, Solo Sikoa was waiting for him in front of the titantron. It was then followed by an attack from Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. The attack turned into a brawl after Randy Orton and Kevin Owens evened up Cody’s side. It is anyone’s guess as to where the rivalry will go from here as the Bloodline is getting close to Cody once again for another cinematic storyline.
