Overview
- Brock Lesnar defeated Oba Femi at WWE's Clash in Italy in Turin, with the victory coming after Lesnar delivered a seventh F-5 that produced the pin.
- The match was tightly booked with multiple near-falls and drama, including an F-5 through the announcer's table and a Kimura Lock that Femi powered out of by standing and slamming Lesnar.
- Femi was protected in defeat by repeatedly kicking out of F-5 attempts, beating a referee count to re-enter the ring, and mounting offense late in the match.
- Lesnar's earlier WrestleMania 42 loss to Femi and his post-match 'retirement' gesture are now in question because the rematch result evoked talk of a decisive third match, which many outlets and insiders have suggested could be set for SummerSlam as a likely location.
- The Clash in Italy finish advances long-term storytelling for both men by keeping Femi credible as a rising star while reviving the narrative choice of when or if Lesnar will make a final, definitive exit from WWE.
