In a night full of rematches, will the result remain the same, or will someone get their revenge?
That’s the theme of the next WWE premium live event, with Clash in Italy 2026 taking place Sunday, May 31 in Turin. There won’t be anything we haven’t seen, whether it’s the WrestleMania rematches in Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar and Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill, or current feuds between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu, as well as Becky Lynch and Sol Ruca. Cody Rhodes and Gunther also have history, facing each other for the first time in more than a year.
Given the card, fans are expecting to see something change, since repeating everything results in a bad night. It’s just a question of what it will be altered. Here are the predictions for Clash in Italy 2026:
Jacob Fatu in action against Roman Reigns during WWE Backlash at Benchmark International Arena on May 9, 2026 in Tampa, Florida.
Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar
While the return of Lesnar has been confusing, it can only be for one reason: to keep Femi as the next dominant guy. However, it can be done different ways. Lesnar’s return all but writes that his retirement match will happen at SummerSlam 2026 in Minneapolis. The best case for it is Femi as the opponent. Even with a hungrier Lesnar, Femi is still able to overcome the challenge and get his second win over the “Beast Incarnate,” setting up Lesnar to put his career on the line in August. Winner: Oba Femi.
Women’s Intercontinental Championship match: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Sol Ruca
The call-up for Ruca has been a bit rocky, but there’s no denying she has the potential to be a big name on the main roster. This has the feeling of those international upsets we’ve seen whenever WWE goes abroad. However, it feels too early to put the title on Ruca right now. Lynch is able to retain, although this won’t be the end of the feud. Winner: Becky Lynch.
WWE Women’s Championship match: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Jade Cargill
Thank goodness one of the main women’s titles gets on the card after both sat idle following WrestleMania. Ripley and Cargill have the potential to put on a great match, this just needs some more time than it did in April. Ripley still is the dominant star in the division, and she’s able to overcome the clear disadvantage that will happen to put an end to Cargill, and put a new face in the main event scene. Winner: Rhea Ripley.
Undisputed WWE Championship match: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Gunther
Gunther’s villainous path toward greatness reaches the ultimate crown of the WWE title. This will be such an enjoyable match, from the crowd energy to the graps both stars will display. Gunther is the best option to dethrone Rhodes, but will it happen so soon after WrestleMania? Rhodes again gets the best of Gunther. Winner: Cody Rhodes.
Tribal Combat for the World Heavyweight Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Jacob Fatu
How can you make this different from what happened earlier in the month? Add Tribal Combat to it. This match is bound to get wild, with some spots around the ring and perhaps in the crowd. Tribal Combat has always featured interference, and it’s bound to happen in this one. The obvious guess is the Usos have something to do with it. But, what if they aren’t there for what everyone thinks? Rather than coming to the aid of Reigns, they instead align with Fatu, realizing the strength he possess after attacking them all a few weeks prior. It’s a stunner that changes the entire dynamic in the Bloodline. Winner: Jacob Fatu.
