WWE is heading to Italy for the first time ever, and the excitement is building fast. On May 31, the Inalpi Arena in Turin will host WWE Clash in Italy, and after the May 11 episode of Raw, the card is taking shape. Let's break down what we know so far.
The main event is locked in: Cody Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Gunther. This showdown was officially set on the May 8 SmackDown, when Paul Heyman delivered the contract to Rhodes as a "favor" for Gunther's help at WrestleMania 42. The tension was immediate—Gunther stormed out without signing, and Rhodes nearly sparked a brawl on the spot. After a brief scuffle, Rhodes sent a clear message: "You think retiring Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles has me scared?" With Gunther undefeated since his November return and building a reputation as a "career killer," this match feels like a true coronation moment for the Austrian powerhouse.
On the women's side, all signs point to Rhea Ripley defending her WWE Women's Championship against Jade Cargill in a highly anticipated rematch. After their last encounter, Cargill has been hungry for another shot, and the storyline is ripe for a clash in Turin. This could be one of the most explosive matches on the card.
Beyond these two blockbusters, keep an eye on rising star Royce Keys and his ongoing feud with MFT. It looks like a premium live event spot is on the horizon for the big man, and Clash in Italy could be the perfect stage for his next big moment.
With five or six matches expected, the card is shaping up to be a memorable night for WWE's first-ever event in Italy. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just getting into the action, this is one you won't want to miss.
