WWE's first premium live event in Italy, Clash in Italy, took place in Turin with high stakes across multiple marquee matches. Roman Reigns retained his World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Jacob Fatu in a Tribal Combat match, a victory that folds Fatu into Reigns' Bloodline faction. However, the storyline echoes the original Bloodline saga from 2024, raising concerns about originality despite new elements like the presence of the MFTs and Solo Sikoa’s leadership during Fatu’s arrival.

In another key bout, Cody Rhodes defeated Gunther to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship, but the finish drew criticism. Gunther’s leg was under the ropes during the pinfall, making the outcome controversial and wasting momentum from an otherwise strong match. Rhodes’ promise of an immediate rematch keeps the rivalry alive, though it delays any shift toward a darker persona for the champion.

Brock Lesnar defeated Oba Femi with seven F-5s, avenging his WrestleMania 42 loss. The bout sets up a likely rubber match at SummerSlam, potentially serving as Lesnar’s retirement match in his hometown of Minneapolis. Femi remains a dominant force and is now in the King of the Ring tournament, though Lesnar is expected to interfere and block his path to victory.
