One of the most anticipated contests of the evening will see Roman Reigns defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu in a rematch that promises to deliver a physically demanding confrontation. Their previous encounter at Backlash three weeks prior saw Reigns, a dominant figure in WWE for over a decade, narrowly escape with his title. The match underscored Fatu’s capability to challenge the established order, leaving many observers believing that a major upset was on the horizon.
Reigns, often referred to as "The Head of the Table" and a central figure of The Bloodline faction, has maintained a historic championship reign, fending off numerous challengers with his tactical prowess and brutal in-ring style. His reign has been characterized by an iron grip on the title, making any challenger’s victory a monumental achievement.
Jacob Fatu, known as "The Samoan Werewolf," has rapidly ascended through the WWE ranks since his debut, showcasing a unique blend of high-impact offense and unbridled aggression. His familial ties to the revered Anoa’i wrestling dynasty, which includes Reigns himself, add a layer of personal intensity to their rivalry. Fatu’s performance at Backlash, where he pushed Reigns to his absolute limit, cemented his status as a legitimate future world champion in the eyes of many. The "rising tide of belief" that Fatu is ready to claim his place "at the head of the table" will be tested once more in Turin, with the World Heavyweight Title serving as the ultimate prize and symbol of dominance.
Singles Match: Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar
Another highly anticipated rematch stems from WrestleMania 42, where Oba Femi secured a landmark victory over the legendary Brock Lesnar. That defeat had seemingly signaled Lesnar’s retirement from active competition, a moment that sent shockwaves through the wrestling world given Lesnar’s unparalleled career and reputation as "The Beast Incarnate."
However, Lesnar, known for his unpredictable nature, reneged on his implied retirement on May 18. In a shocking turn of events, Lesnar launched a brutal attack on Femi, reigniting their rivalry and setting the stage for this high-profile rematch in Turin. This unexpected return underscores Lesnar’s continued competitive drive and his apparent desire to avenge his WrestleMania loss.
Oba Femi, a burgeoning star with an impressive physical presence and burgeoning in-ring skill, will now face Lesnar with the added pressure of proving his WrestleMania victory was not a fluke. Femi’s initial win was a career-defining moment, propelling him into the upper echelon of WWE talent. This rematch is not just about personal animosity; it represents a clash between an established icon seeking retribution and a rising star looking to solidify his place by once again defeating one of the most dominant athletes in WWE history.
WWE Women’s Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Jade Cargill
The WWE Women’s Championship will be on the line as Rhea Ripley makes her first title defense against Jade Cargill since their encounter at WrestleMania 42. Ripley, known as "Mami" to her legions of fans, has maintained a dominant reign as champion, characterized by her formidable power, aggressive style, and unwavering confidence. Her championship tenure has seen her dispatch a variety of challengers, cementing her status as a cornerstone of the women’s division.
Jade Cargill, a physically imposing and athletic competitor, entered WWE with significant fanfare and quickly established herself as a force to be reckoned with. Her highly anticipated match against Ripley at WrestleMania 42 was a spectacle of power and athleticism, with Ripley ultimately emerging victorious.
This rematch provides Cargill with an immediate opportunity to prove herself against the reigning champion and capture her first major championship on the WWE main roster. For Ripley, it is a chance to definitively assert her dominance over a powerful challenger who pushed her to her limits on the grandest stage. The encounter promises to be an explosive contest between two of the most physically gifted women in professional wrestling, with the prestigious WWE Women’s Championship hanging in the balance.
Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Sol Ruca
The Women’s Intercontinental Championship will also be defended in a swift rematch, occurring just one week after their initial confrontation at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Becky Lynch, a veteran and multi-time champion known as "The Man," managed to retain her title under contentious circumstances in their previous bout, which concluded with a disqualification. While Lynch technically retained the championship, Sol Ruca’s performance, which led to the disqualification of the defending champion, allowed her to "technically record a win" in the eyes of many, providing the necessary leverage to secure an immediate rematch.
Becky Lynch’s career has been defined by her tenacity, in-ring prowess, and ability to connect with the WWE Universe. Her reign as Women’s Intercontinental Champion has added another layer to her already illustrious career, showcasing her continued commitment to elevating any championship she holds.
Sol Ruca, a dynamic and innovative competitor, has been steadily building momentum since her debut. Her unique athletic abilities and high-flying maneuvers have quickly garnered attention, and her strong showing against Lynch at Saturday Night’s Main Event solidified her as a legitimate contender. This rematch presents Ruca with a direct path to capture her first championship in WWE, while Lynch will be aiming for a decisive victory to silence her challenger and reaffirm her dominance as champion. The rapid turnaround between matches suggests a high degree of urgency and intensity in this renewed rivalry.
Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Gunther
The only "fresh encounter" on the "Clash in Italy" card will feature a highly anticipated clash for the Undisputed WWE Championship, as Cody Rhodes defends his title against Gunther. Rhodes, whose journey to "finish the story" culminated in his championship victory, has since embraced an "open challenge" philosophy, welcoming any competitor on the roster to step up and vie for his prestigious title.
Gunther, known as "The Ring General," answered that call. Following a dominant and record-breaking reign as the Intercontinental Champion on Raw, Gunther made the strategic move to SmackDown with the explicit goal of challenging for the Undisputed WWE Championship. To earn his shot, Gunther overcame Royce Keys in a grueling and difficult title eliminator match, cementing his status as the rightful challenger.
This match marks only the second time Rhodes and Gunther have met in singles competition. Their initial encounter took place at the 2024 Crown Jewel event, where Rhodes emerged victorious in a hard-fought battle at a time when both men held world championships in their respective divisions. That historical context adds an extra layer of intrigue, as Gunther will be looking to avenge that past defeat and add the Undisputed WWE Championship to his already impressive resume. This bout is widely expected to be a technical masterpiece and a potential show-stealer, pitting two of WWE’s most skilled and formidable competitors against each other for the ultimate prize in professional wrestling.
As "Clash in Italy" approaches, the Inalpi Arena in Turin prepares to host an event packed with compelling narratives, high-stakes championship defenses, and the culmination of deeply personal rivalries. The card is designed to deliver a memorable evening of sports entertainment, further solidifying WWE’s global footprint.
