Marking the first time that a Premium Live Event has been held in Turin, Clash in Italy continues the WWE European tour.
Following a SmackDown in Barcelona, Spain, Clash in Italy will see 4 title matches take place, along with a highly anticipated rematch. Following his victory over Jacob Fatu at Backlash, Roman Reigns will once again put the World Heavyweight Championship on the line against The Samoan Werewolf. However, the rematch will be contested under Tribal Combat rules, meaning that anything goes.
Set to open the show, Cody Rhodes will put the WWE Championship on the line against Gunther. The Ring General has made it clear that he wants the title, and Rhodes has vowed to keep his third reign going despite being blindsided by Gunther multiple times.
Two women’s championship matches are also set for the show as Becky Lynch will put her Women’s Intercontinental Championship on the line against Sol Ruca. Additionally, Rhea Ripley will defend the WWE Women’s Championship against Jade Cargill in a WrestleMania rematch.
The only non-title match set for Clash in Italy will see Brock Lesnar face Oba Femi one more time following their first clash at WrestleMania 42. After Femi defeated Lesnar in under 5 minutes, Lesnar took off his gloves and boots, seemingly retiring from in-ring competition. However, Lesnar made his return on Raw, laying out Femi with 4 F5s.
The show will start at 8 pm local time, which will be 7 pm in the UK. For those in the United States, the show will begin at 2 pm on the East Coast and 11 am on the West Coast.
