The reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion will come face-to-face with Drew McIntyre, the man he will face at WWE Clash at the Castle.

Plus, the Viking Raiders will hold a Viking Funeral for the New Day. Previously, Erik and Ivar took Xavier Woods out with a brutal attack as they smashed his ankle with a shield.

Next week, Erik and Ivar will lay the New Day to rest with a Viking Funeral.
