Sol Ruca defeated Becky Lynch to capture the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship at Clash in Italy on Sunday at Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy.
Lynch dominated the early going before Ruca mounted a comeback. Ruca hit an outside moonsault from the top rope and followed with a dropkick before Lynch avoided the Sol Snatcher and locked in an armbar. Ruca escaped. Lynch exchanged words with referee Jessika Carr throughout the match before pushing her into the ropes, causing Ruca to fall from the turnbuckle.
Ruca recovered, hitting an outside dive onto Lynch. Lynch attempted the Sol Snatcher herself but Ruca reversed it and connected with a Rock Bottom for a near fall. Ruca then hit the Sol Snatcher to get the pinfall victory.
The win gives Ruca her first championship on the main roster in her debut PLE appearance after a difficult six-week stretch that included losses to Liv Morgan and IYO SKY and an injury scare heading into the event.
