WWE Clash in Italy: Preview and Predictions

The Clash event in Italy will be a major WWE spectacle following WrestleMania 42. Taking place at Inalpi Arena in Turin, this event follows last year’s Clash in Paris and precedes next year’s event in Glasgow, Scotland. Four title matches are set, featuring fierce rivalries and athletic performances.

Title Matches in Turin

Both the Undisputed WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship will be contested in Turin. Although the event occurs late in Italy, U.S. fans can watch via ESPN Unlimited at 2 p.m. ET and 11 a.m. PT on Sunday.

WWE Women’s Championship: Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill

Rhea Ripley will defend her title against Jade Cargill in a rematch of their WrestleMania 42 encounter. Ripley initially claimed the title at WrestleMania after defeating Cargill in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match. Cargill aims to reclaim the championship, having pinned Ripley recently at Saturday Night’s Main Event. However, expectations suggest Ripley will retain her title.

Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Becky Lynch vs. Sol Ruca

Becky Lynch, known as “The Man,” faces Sol Ruca for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Although Ruca recently joined WWE’s main roster, Lynch’s disqualification at Saturday Night’s Main Event led to a forced match setup by SmackDown’s general manager Nick Aldis. Ruca is a promising talent, but Lynch is expected to retain her title.

Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar

The clash between two powerhouse wrestlers, Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar, will be intense. Femi has previously defeated Lesnar at WrestleMania 42, leading to speculation about Lesnar’s retirement. However, Lesnar returned triumphant, attacking Femi on “Monday Night Raw” and initiating a rematch at Clash in Italy. Predictions favor Lesnar securing a win and setting up a potential third showdown this summer.

Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther

Cody Rhodes defends his title against Gunther after winning the Undisputed WWE Championship from Drew McIntyre earlier this year. Rhodes successfully defended his title against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42. Gunther earns the contender spot after winning against Royce Keys, thanks to Paul Heyman cashing in Gunther’s favor. Despite fierce competition, predictions suggest Gunther may leave Turin as champion.

World Heavyweight Championship: Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu

Roman Reigns faces Jacob Fatu in a Tribal Combat match. Reigns, known for his dominance, has repeatedly won these matches against his bloodline, cementing his status within The Anoa’i wrestling dynasty. Fatu remains defiant, challenging Reigns in a match expected to be chaotic and intense. Reigns is predicted to retain his championship, continuing his reign over the Raw roster.
