WWE brought a stacked card to Turin for Clash in Italy, featuring multiple championship matches, a Tribal Combat showdown, and several major storyline developments. By the end of the night, Roman Reigns remained Tribal Chief, Cody Rhodes escaped with the Undisputed WWE Championship, and Sol Ruca captured her first main roster singles title.
Here are the full results and highlights from WWE Clash in Italy.
Cody Rhodes Retains WWE Undisputed Championship Against GUNTHER
The show opened with a hard-hitting championship clash between Cody Rhodes and GUNTHER. The challenger controlled much of the contest with his trademark chops, power offense, and repeated attempts to put Rhodes away with the Gojira Clutch.
Rhodes battled through several near-submissions and survived a devastating powerbomb before mounting a comeback with Beautiful Disaster and multiple Cross Rhodes attempts. After a frantic closing sequence, Rhodes connected with Cross Rhodes and secured the three-count to retain his championship.
The finish immediately sparked controversy. Replays revealed that GUNTHER’s foot was underneath the bottom rope during the initial pin attempt. Rhodes adjusted his cover during the count, pulling the challenger away from the ropes before the referee completed the fall.
Following the match, a frustrated GUNTHER argued with the official before storming backstage.
Winner: Cody Rhodes (retains WWE Undisputed Championship)
Rhea Ripley Defeats Jade Cargill To Remain Women’s Champion
Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill delivered a physical battle that saw both women absorb tremendous punishment.
Cargill showcased her strength early, repeatedly tossing the champion around the ring and even taking time to taunt Ripley with push-ups. Ripley eventually rallied with a German suplex, a missile dropkick, and a series of power moves that nearly ended the match.
Outside interference became a major factor in the closing moments. B-Fab and Michin appeared at ringside on behalf of Cargill, only for Charlotte Flair to arrive and even the odds. Charlotte’s involvement prevented Jade from capitalizing on a near fall and shifted momentum back toward the champion.
Ripley eventually recovered and connected with Riptide to score the victory and retain the WWE Women’s Championship.
Winner: Rhea Ripley (retains WWE Women’s Championship)
Brock Lesnar Overcomes Oba Femi
Oba Femi pushed Brock Lesnar further than many expected in one of the night’s most physical contests.
Lesnar came out aggressively, delivering multiple F-5s in the opening minutes, but Femi refused to stay down. The former NXT powerhouse also escaped the Kimura Lock and answered with a huge powerbomb and chokeslam that left Lesnar visibly frustrated.
The action spilled to ringside, where Lesnar drove Femi through the announce table with another F-5. Despite the punishment, Femi beat the referee’s count and continued fighting.
Ultimately, Lesnar connected with one final F-5 inside the ring to finally put Femi away.
Winner: Brock Lesnar
Sol Ruca Captures WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship
One of the biggest surprises of the night came when Sol Ruca challenged Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Lynch attempted to dictate the pace throughout the match and repeatedly argued with referee Jessika Carr whenever things didn’t go her way. Ruca countered with her athletic offense, including several innovative aerial attacks and near falls that kept the champion on the defensive.
The closing moments featured multiple reversals, submission counters, and dramatic two-counts. After surviving the Manhandle Slam, Ruca found an opening and connected with the Sol Snatcher to score the pinfall victory.
The win marks a major milestone for Ruca, who leaves Italy as the new WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion.
Winner: Sol Ruca (new WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion)
Roman Reigns Defeats Jacob Fatu In Tribal Combat
The main event featured a brutal Tribal Combat Match between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu for the WWE Men’s World Championship and the title of Tribal Chief.
The match quickly spilled into the crowd, with both men using the arena environment as weapons. Reigns blasted Fatu with a bucket of ice, while Fatu repeatedly slammed the champion into barricades, railings, and ringside structures.
Back in the ring, tables, steel steps, toolboxes, and exposed turnbuckles all came into play. Fatu repeatedly threatened to finish Reigns with the Tongan Death Grip, while Reigns relied on Superman Punches and Spears to survive.
Despite taking enormous punishment, Fatu continued to rise after every big move. Reigns eventually gained the advantage by targeting Fatu’s injured hand and repeatedly driving him into exposed turnbuckles. A devastating Spear through a table set up in the corner finally gave Reigns the opening he needed.
One final Spear ended the war and secured the victory for the champion.
After the match, The Usos entered the ring to recognize Reigns as Tribal Chief. The celebration was short-lived, however, as attention quickly turned toward Solo Sikoa and the MFTs watching from the crowd, teasing the next chapter in the ongoing Bloodline saga.
Winner: Roman Reigns (retains WWE Men’s World Championship)
