We have the full WWE Clash of Champions 2016 results for you right here.
Clash of the Champions was originally a TV event put together by Jim Crockett Promotions in 1988. It evolved into being a WCW fixture for nine years, acting similar to WWF’s Saturday Night’s Main Event. In other words, it was a free PPV-level show in the days when there weren’t as many PPVs and the usual televised shows didn’t have too many high-profile bouts. With the rise of Nitroand monthly PPVs, it became unnecessary and was dropped. Its final and thirty-fifth edition came on August 21, 1997.

Best of Seven Series Final Match
Results: After a lengthy back-and-forth battle, the two destroyed each other outside the ring and over the barricade.

United States Championship
Results: Roman nailed Rusev with a spear, but when the ref made the count, Lana pulled the ref out of the ring. The ref then barred Lana from ringside. Afterwards, Rusev couldn't put Roman away and ran screaming into a second spear, which kept him down for good. New United States Champion.
KEVIN OWENS (C) VS. SETH ROLLINS
WWE Universal Championship
Results: Rollins had Owens beat, but Chris Jericho showed up and put Owens' foot on the rope.
