Description

Clash of Champions (2017) is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event and WWE Network event produced by WWE for the SmackDown brand. It will take place on December 17, 2017, at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. It will be the second event under the Clash of Champions chronology.

The card will feature matches resulting from scripted storylines and have results predetermined by WWE on the SmackDown brand. Storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television show SmackDown Live. Every championship exclusive to SmackDown – the WWE Championship, the United States Championship, the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, and the SmackDown Women's Championship – will be defended.

On the November 7 episode of SmackDown, AJ Styles defeated Jinder Mahal to win the WWE Championship for the second time. This resulted in Styles taking Mahal's place in the Universal Champion versus WWE Champion match at Survivor Series against Raw's Brock Lesnar, which Styles lost. The following SmackDown, Styles came out and addressed the WWE fans. Mahal appeared on the TitanTron and challenged Styles to a rematch for the championship at Clash of Champions. The Singh Brothers (Samir and Sunil Singh) attacked Styles but Styles fought them off and perform a Styles Clash on Samir. Styles then accepted Mahal's challenge and a handicap match between Styles and The Singh Brothers was scheduled for the following week. The following week before the match could officially begin, Mahal and The Singh Brothers attacked Styles during his entrance. However, Styles defeated the Singh Brothers. Afterward, Mahal attempted to attack Styles, who retreated. A frustrated Mahal then proceeded to attack The Singh Brothers, performing a Khallas on both Samir and Sunil.

On December 1, 2017 on WWE.com, in honoring the theme of the event, Byron Saxton announced that Charlotte Flair would defend the SmackDown Women's Championship against Natalya, United States Champion Baron Corbin would defend his title in a triple threat match against Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler, and The Usos (Jey and Jimmy Uso) would defend the SmackDown Tag Team Championship against The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston, and/or Xavier Woods) and Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin in a triple threat tag team match.
