The inaugural 2022 event was WWE's first PPV and livestreaming event to be held in the UK since Insurrextion in 2003, and the company's first UK stadium event since the 1992 SummerSlam. The 2024 event will be WWE's first PPV and livestreaming event to be held in Scotland.
In September 2022, the American professional wrestling promotion WWE hosted a pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event in the United Kingdom (UK) called Clash at the Castle. It was held in Cardiff, Wales at the Principality Stadium and its name was in reference to the Cardiff Castle, situated near the stadium. This marked the company's first major stadium event to be held in the UK in 30 years. Although WWE's last major event to take place in the UK was the 2003 Insurrextion, the promotion's last major event to be held in a stadium in the UK was the 1992 SummerSlam at the original Wembley Stadium. WWE had originally planned to host the event at present day Wembley Stadium; however, they were offered more money to host the event at the Principality Stadium.
After nearly two years, it was announced that a second Clash at the Castle would take place on June 15, 2024, and would be held at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland, marking WWE's first PPV and livestreaming event to be held in the country as well as establishing Clash at the Castle as a recurring UK event. Unlike the original event, the 2024 event's title is not in reference to any specific castle in Glasgow.
