Overview
- Clash in Italy is scheduled for Sunday, May 31 in Turin with a noon ET pre-show and a 2 p.m. ET main card, streaming on Netflix for international audiences and on ESPN+/ESPN in the U.S.
- The advertised five-match card centers on title fights including Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu in a Tribal Combat for the World Heavyweight Championship and Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
- Reports from late May say Fatu suffered a live-event injury that could affect the main event, though at least one reporter (Cory Hays/False Finish) says Fatu was still expected to compete as of the latest updates.
- WWE has contingency plans if competitors cannot be medically cleared, and any change to the advertised finish would directly affect the Bloodline succession angle and near-term title plans heading into SummerSlam.
- This is WWE’s first Premium Live Event in Italy and it highlights the company’s recent split in PLE distribution, using Netflix for international reach while keeping ESPN+ as the U.S. home for live events.
