WWE officially kicked off its European Summer Tour by making history with its first-ever Premium Live Event on Italian soil: Clash in Italy 2026. Emanating from the absolutely electric, sold-out Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy, the event streamed live globally on Netflix, bringing a raw, premium cinematic feel right to fans’ living rooms.

With a tight five-match card built on high-stakes rivalries stretching back to WrestleMania, the night delivered a masterclass in powerhouse rematches, and one jaw-dropping title change.

1. The Opening War: Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther

Undisputed WWE Championship

The Result: Cody Rhodes defeated Gunther by pinfall to retain his title.

The Match: The show opened at a frantic, blistering pace with the crowd completely split. “The Ring General” Gunther dominated a massive portion of the match with his signature, bone-shattering chest chops. Cody fought from underneath, even hitting a Pedigree to survive the onslaught.

The Drama: The finish instantly sparked a massive wave of controversy. While Cody managed to secure the three-count after a Cross Rhodes, replay angles clearly showed Gunther’s foot was under the bottom rope during the pinfall. Gunther was left visibly furious, setting up an inevitable, explosive rematch down the line.

2. Star-Studded Collisions: Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill

WWE Women’s Championship

The Result: Rhea Ripley defeated Jade Cargill by pinfall to retain her title.

The Match: This was pure, unadulterated physical warfare between two of the most imposing forces in the women’s division. The match quickly devolved into chaos when Cargill’s allies, Michin and B-Fab, attempted to manipulate the numbers game at ringside.

The Twist: Just when it felt like Ripley was entirely outmatched by the outside interference, Charlotte Flair made a shocking, unannounced appearance. “The Queen” completely neutralized B-Fab and Michin, allowing “Mami” to deliver a devastating Riptide to seal the victory.

3. The Heavyweight Revenge: Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi

The Result: Brock Lesnar defeated Oba Femi.

The Match: After Oba Femi shocked the world by defeating “The Beast” at WrestleMania, Lesnar entered Turin completely laser-focused on pure destruction. He didn’t let Femi breathe, unloading an insane barrage of seven F5s throughout the short, high-octane slugfest. Femi showed an unbelievable, monstrous level of resilience by kicking out of the early onslaught, but Lesnar ultimately overwhelmed “The Ruler” to secure his redemption.

4. Upset of the Night: Becky Lynch vs. Sol Ruca

WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship

The Result: Sol Ruca defeated Becky Lynch to become the NEW Champion.

The Match: “The Man” Becky Lynch seemed to have complete structural control of the match early on, utilizing her veteran instincts to pick Ruca apart. However, the match turned on a single, agonizing mistake when Lynch accidentally struck her hand against the ring post.

The Coronation: Sensing the shift in momentum, the relative main-roster newcomer caught Lynch off guard, executing a flawless, spectacular “Sol Snatcher” to secure the pinfall. The arena erupted into a massive ovation for the young superstar’s historic first main-roster title win.

• The Aftermath: Despite Fatu’s terrifyingly manic energy, Reigns rallied back to hit a massive, decisive spear. Following the absolute carnage, The Usos entered the ring to formally present Reigns with the Ula-Fala ceremonial lei. Roman and his cousins exited the arena victorious, leaving Solo Sikoa and the rest of his faction staring on in disbelief from the crowd.
