WWE Clash in Italy Results, Winners and WWE Highlights

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes evaded Gunther’s deadly Sleeper Hold, only to be met with a big boot from The Ring General. The American Nightmare leveled Gunther with a Pedigree, a Disaster Kick and a Cross Rhodes but could not put away the challenger. Gunther locked in a Sleeper as Rhodes tried desperately to get out of the hold. Each attempt from Rhodes to escape the hold was thwarted by Gunther as The Ring General trapped the champion for an excruciating period, though Rhodes finally got his foot to the bottom rope to break the hold. The American Nightmare struck with the Cody Cutter and the Cross Rhodes to win the match.

Jade Cargill attempted to become a two-time WWE Women’s Champion as she battled Rhea Ripley, the Superstar who took her title at WrestleMania 42. Ripley hit a senton over the top rope to the outside, but Cargill expertly countered it before battering Ripley with knee strikes. The Storm kept dominating the champion, mocking Ripley with pushups and showboating. Ripley got back into the contest as she muscled Cargill into the electric chair position and kept her there even after Cargill tried to send Ripley over the top to the outside. With Cargill still in the electric chair position, Ripley sent the challenger face-first onto the ring apron. When Cargill went for Jaded, Ripley reversed into a Riptide attempt, but Cargill countered into a DDT. Michin and B-Fab made their way to ringside and distracted Ripley long enough for Cargill to hit a big boot. However, Cargill could not connect with Jaded, and Ripley landed Riptide.

In a clash of titans fitting for ancient Rome, the highly anticipated rematch between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar was fought at WWE Clash in Italy. Lesnar jumped Femi early and immediately leveled him with four consecutive F-5s, but Femi miraculously kicked out. The Beast locked in the Kimura Lock after Paul Heyman called for it outside the ring. Somehow Femi picked up Lesnar and dropped him while still trapped in the Kimura Lock. Femi went for the Chokeslam, but Lesnar reversed with another thunderous F-5. Outside the ring, Femi tried to Chokeslam Lesnar through the announce table, but Lesnar F-5’d Femi through the hardwood instead.

World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns entered his third Tribal Combat, this time against the menacing Jacob Fatu while attempting to go 3-0 in the deadly match. The two brawled through the arena before Reigns chucked the ring steps straight into Fatu. Fatu intercepted a Reigns Spear attempt with a superkick before dialing in the Tongan Death Grip. Reigns escaped the move before leveling Fatu’s hand with a toolbox, limiting Fatu’s use of the devastating hold. Reigns hit a massive Spear on Fatu through the barricade before executing another Spear in the ring, but Fatu kicked out at two-and-a-half. Enraged over Fatu’s kickout, Reigns ripped off three of the four turnbuckles, but Fatu surprised Reigns with a Tongan Death Grip. However, Fatu couldn’t lock in the hold due to his injured hand.
