WWE Clash at the Castle has come and gone, leaving fans to wonder what's next for some of the most prominent Superstars in professional wrestling.

Perhaps none more so than undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre.

In the wake of the latest international premium live event, let's look at what to expect for The American Nightmare and the man who watched his aspirations of striking championship gold in his Scottish homeland go up in smoke at the weekend.

What's Next for Cody Rhodes?

The undisputed WWE champion defeated AJ Styles in a brutal "I Quit" match in Glasgow, bringing an end to the first rivalry of his title reign.

And it didn't take long to find out what direction the second-generation star would take in the aftermath of the show.

Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa attacked Rhodes after his grueling victory, drawing Randy Orton and Kevin Owens out to make the save. The brawl that ensued suggests fans should expect a six-man tag team match at Money in the Bank on July 6.

It makes sense, especially after Paul Heyman specifically mentioned having the WWE champ locked down a few weeks ago on SmackDown. Such a match would likely bring about the conclusion of the long-running rivalry between The Bloodline and Owens and Orton, while simultaneously introducing Rhodes' SummerSlam program.

Moments after fending off the heels, The Viper was caught staring at the WWE title, hinting at his desire to hold the top prize in the industry once again.

There is a wealth of history between Rhodes and Orton that should make for an intensely personal rivalry.

The Viper took a young Rhodes under his wing, taught him about the industry and headlined pay-per-views with him during their days as part of Legacy.

Given the ready-made story, Rhodes vs. Orton is a match that could easily and believably headline SummerSlam on August 3.

It's hardly the only option in that spot, though.

How About Drew McIntyre?

Everything was in place for McIntyre to defeat Damian Priest and win the World Heavyweight Championship in front of his home fans.

Instead, The Scottish Warrior again experienced the bitter taste of defeat and disappointment, this time thanks to CM Punk, who impersonated a referee and screwed the hometown hero out of a victory.

That outcome leaves no doubt as to what awaits McIntyre coming out of Clash at the Castle.

The Scot will battle The Best in the World, likely at SummerSlam on August 3.

The long-awaited grudge match dates back to the Royal Rumble in January, when Punk tore his triceps after receiving the Future Shock DDT from McIntyre.

Since then, the Chicago-born competitor has promised revenge and has struck twice: First at Wrestlemania 40, when he cost McIntyre the World Heavyweight Championship by beating him down and setting him up for Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase, and the second being Saturday night in Glasgow.

The rivalry has only intensified over the last six months and will continue to do so until that first bell rings and the pair exchange blows.

McIntyre may unleash hell, tearing through anyone in his path en route to his match with Punk, but make no mistake about it: The showdown between the pair of two-time WWE champions is the endgame here.
