WWE Clash at the Castle 2022 is officially in the history books. The premium live event was well received by the fans as they witnessed some top-quality pro wrestling matches. However, the ending of the show left the WWE Universe confused because they could not understand why Drew McIntyre lost to Roman Reigns.
He got his old theme song back, he had 60,000+ fans cheering for him and on top of that, he had been waiting in line for a push for a long time. Still, Drew McIntyre lost at WWE Clash at the Castle 2022. In this article now, we will look at the five probable reasons behind his defeat on the UK PPV.

Just after WWE Clash at the Castle 2022, Roman Reigns and Tyson Fury had a brief faceoff. It seems like WWE may book a match between the two Superstars for WWE Crown Jewel this year. To ensure that the stakes are at the highest level, the company might have thought of keeping the belts on Roman’s shoulders.
2. Does WWE no longer believe in Drew McIntyre?
I'm proud to of this man.
He made this PPV happen, nobody pushed harder than him, even with an injured back he never wanted to let this opportunity go, he deserved to be Champion, but unfortunately the people in charge don't see it that way.

There couldn’t have been a more perfect stage than WWE Clash at the Castle 2022 to crown McIntyre as the new champion. However, as pointed out by some wrestling veterans, not all fans see McIntyre on the same level as Roman Reigns, which is why WWE may not have pulled the trigger.
3. Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes seems the ultimate plan
It looks like WWE wants Cody Rhodes to become the next WWE Undisputed Universal Champion, which is why they will build Roman Reigns up further by feeding him more babyfaces until Rhodes come back and takes the titles from him.
4. Is WWE’s booking trend the reason why Drew McIntyre lost?
The die-hard WWE fans would know that the company almost never books the hometown stars to win the matches in front of their home fans. Despite a change in the top management, it seems like the rule for hometown heroes is still active in WWE.
5. Did the spoilers prompt WWE to make a last-minute change?
WWE always likes to surprise its fans when it comes to premium live events. Since there were no major returns on the show, they decided to swerve the audience with this ending. It has got a lot of fans talking, and the spoiler, which was out on the internet, claiming that Roman will not leave the UK with two belts has been proven totally wrong.
