WWE's Clash in Italy Heats Up with Rhodes vs. Gunther and Reigns' Rivalry

WWE has confirmed its next major event, Clash in Italy, will take place at Inalpi Arena in Turin on May 31, 2026. The show already features top names like Cody Rhodes, Gunther, and Roman Reigns, with fans eager for more match announcements in the coming weeks. The only confirmed bout so far is Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther. Yet speculation is growing about other high-profile clashes, including a potential rematch between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu. Their rivalry reignited at Backlash, where Reigns secured a victory, but tensions remain unresolved. Many believe a second encounter at Clash in Italy should carry a special condition—possibly a Steel Cage Match or a Last Man Standing bout—to raise the stakes.

Meanwhile, Liv Morgan’s rising popularity and championship status have fans calling for her inclusion in a major storyline ahead of the event. Her presence could add further excitement to the card, which already advertises stars like Oba Femi, CM Punk, Trick Williams, and Seth Rollins. Elsewhere, concerns have surfaced about the ongoing feud between Sami Zayn and Trick Williams. Critics argue the storyline has dragged on too long and should conclude before Clash in Italy to make room for fresh rivalries.

Clash in Italy is shaping up to be a must-see event, with Rhodes vs. Gunther already locked in and potential showdowns like Reigns vs. Fatu II on the horizon. The inclusion of top talent and unresolved rivalries suggests WWE is aiming for a high-impact show in Turin. Fans will be watching closely for further updates on match confirmations and stipulations.
