  • Jey Uso Steps In After Fan Won’t Release Roman Reigns

    Jey Uso Steps In After Fan Won’t Release Roman Reigns

    Jey Uso had to step in and physically free WWE World Champion Roman Reigns from a fan who grabbed his hand during WWE Clash in Italy 2026 this past weekend.

    The incident occurred after Reigns’ match against Jacob Fatu at the Premium Live Event. Following his successful title defense, ‘The OTC’was interacting with fans at ringside.

    A fan grabbed his hand from the crowd and would not release it even as Reigns attempted to walk away. Uso intervened by slapping the fan’s hand off the World Heavyweight Champion.

    The whole exchange lasted only a few seconds and did not escalate further. Video of the moment spread quickly on social media, with fans largely praising Uso for his quick, protective response.

    A Growing Problem at WWE Events

    The incident is part of a broader pattern of fan boundary violations that has been escalating at WWE events in recent months. There have also been issues with fans “stalking” performers at hotels and generally overstepping what constitutes an acceptable interaction.

    One of the more notable recent examples involved CM Punk at WrestleMania this year. There was footage of a fan filming Punk’s wife, AJ Lee, and Bayley as they hugged at a hotel. After Bayley clearly asked the fan to move away, Punk knocked the man’s phone to the ground. Punk was visibly angry, but that incident also did not escalate further.

    The reunion of Roman Reigns and Jey Uso has been one of the more talked-about storylines in WWE recently, and Uso’s instinct to protect Reigns at ringside is earning him additional goodwill from fans beyond the storyline itself.

  • Sol Ruca Opens Up About Online Criticism After WWE Clash In Italy

    Sol Ruca Opens Up About Online Criticism After WWE Clash In Italy

    The newly crowned WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Sol Ruca has opened up about how she handles online criticism following her match at WWE Clash in Italy.

    The former NXT Women’s North American Champion made it clear that the opinions of those in the building and backstage carry far more weight than social media noise.

    In a WWE Now post-show interview, Ruca addressed the hate that has followed her main roster work. She said that dealing with online criticism is something she has had to learn throughout her WWE career.

    Bigger Stage Brings More Attention

    She explained that even in NXT, there were fans closely watching and criticizing her, but moving to a bigger stage brings even more attention—both positive and negative.

    “100 percent, even in NXT, we get people that are, you know, watching every move and we get people that are, you know, leaving hate comments and all this negativity, and essentially being up on the main roster, you have more eyes, which means more hate, but also means more love.

    Ruca admitted she didn’t fully realize when she signed with WWE how much scrutiny and nitpicking would come with increased visibility.

    “So it is something that I’ve had to kind of navigate because I wasn’t really, it wasn’t something that I thought of when I got signed that it was going to be like, oh, this means that there’s going to be more eyes or more people, you know, trying to nitpick everything.”

    Sol Ruca Focuses On Positive Reactions

    Ruca said she doesn’t put too much weight on negative comments on social media because they represent only a small portion of WWE’s audience. She explained that what matters most to her is receiving positive reactions from live crowds and having the support of people backstage.

    “At the end of the day, especially with people on social media, that’s such a small percentage of our fan base, and as long as the crowd in person is happy and, you know, everyone backstage is happy with what I do, then that’s fine with me.”

    Sol Ruca recently dethroned Becky Lynch to capture the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship at the Clash In Italy Premium Live Event. Her performance drew scrutiny from some corners of the internet, but Ruca’s response suggests she is not letting it affect her mindset.

  • Becky Lynch Claims She Was Robbed After WWE Clash In Italy

    Becky Lynch Claims She Was Robbed After WWE Clash In Italy

    Becky Lynch is having a tough time accepting her loss quietly.

    ‘The Man’ dropped the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship to Sol Ruca at WWE Clash in Italy. Lynch went for the Manhandle Slam near the corner, but Ruca countered and hit the Sol Snatcher to capture the title.

    Becky Lynch Breaks Silence

    Following the loss, Lynch took to X, blasting referee Jessika Carr and Sol Ruca. Rather than acknowledge the defeat, ‘The Man’ insisted she had Ruca pinned before the count was completed.

    “Last night I was once again ROBBED of my title by CROOKED CARR!!! CLEARLY I had SO SAD SOL pinned for MORE than the count of three when Carr INEXPLICABLY DOVE out of the ring!!!! A TOTAL MESS!!!”

    Lynch also claimed she suffered a severe hematoma during the match and revealed her legal team is looking into whether Ruca’s footwear meets regulatory standards. She added that doctors were shocked she was able to continue, but made clear she would not be stopped.

    “I soldiered on but suffered a severe hematoma (my lawyers are looking into ROTTEN RUCA’s footwear. They suspect they’re not regulatory!) Doctors say they’re SHOCKED I was able to continue but I told them YOU CANT HOLD DOWN THE MAN!!!!”

    Lynch was in her second reign with the title, and it ended after just 43 days, making it the shortest reign in the championship’s history. Her first reign had stood as the longest at 163 days. Ruca’s win marks her first WWE main roster singles title, coming only weeks after moving up to Raw.

  • Cody Rhodes Offers Gunther Rematch After Controversial Finish At WWE Clash In Italy

    Cody Rhodes Offers Gunther Rematch After Controversial Finish At WWE Clash In Italy

    Cody Rhodes has acknowledged the controversy surrounding the finish to the Undisputed WWE Championship match against Gunther at WWE Clash In Italy.

    ‘The American Nightmare’ successfully retained the title in Turin. However, the finish was immediately called into question after replays showed Gunther’s foot under the bottom rope during the pinfall.

    During the post-show media scrum, Rhodes admitted he did not notice the rope break in the moment but saw it clearly on replay. He then offered Gunther a rematch on the spot.

    “I didn’t see it in the moment, but I definitely saw it in the replay. If Gunther wants a rematch, I would do a rematch with Gunther right here, right now. … If anyone deserves one, he certainly deserves one. I understand. Hey, a win is a win. But that’s not how you want to do it, especially in front of a wonderful crowd like this. If he wants one, I’m here for it.”

    Backstage footage also showed Gunther storming off and throwing a water bottle in frustration after arguing with the referee, making clear he views the result as unfinished business.

    Rhodes had entered the match as a slight favorite, and GUNTHER had vowed to take the title heading into the event.

    Flair made a surprise appearance during the event to help Rhea Ripley retain the WWE Women’s Title against Cargill. After B-Fab and Michin interfered on Cargill’s behalf, Flair emerged to even the odds despite existing tensions between herself and Ripley.

    In a video dropped by WWE following the show, Cargill, B-Fab, and Michin turned their attention to Flair in a backstage attack, with WWE personnel attempting to intervene.

    Alexa Bliss Reacts

    The attack drew a sharp response from Bliss, who is Flair’s tag-team partner. Bliss posted on social media:

    “Yall messed up. no one touches @MsCharlotteWWE.”

    Rhea Ripley was left nearly in tears after Italian fans paid tribute to her late grandmother during her match against Jade Cargill at WWE Clash in Italy.

    The crowd chanted “Nonna,” the Italian word for grandmother, during the match. Ripley also wore special ring gear to honor her grandmother, who passed away in April 2023.

    Ripley posted on X in response to the tribute.

    “I literally want to cry… Thank you Italy! ????” she wrote.

    Ahead of her WWE Women’s Championship defense against Jade Cargill, ‘The Eradicator’ had also revealed how special the event was for her. She revealed that her grandparents lived in Italy before moving to Australia. Taking to X account, Ripley wrote:

    “I’ve always wanted to go to Italy but never had the opportunity. This weekend I finally get to live that dream at #ClashInItaly! My Nonna was one of the most important and strongest people in my life. Going to the country where her and my Nonno grew up feels like I’m about to visit a home I’ve never had the pleasure to experience. I miss you every day! This one’s for you! I hope I make you proud when you look down on me,” Rhea Ripley posted.

    Rhea Ripley defeated Jade Cargill at Clash in Italy on Sunday to retain the WWE Women’s Championship. Cargill and Ripley threw it all at each other in a hard-hitting match. During the match, the Aussie star initially seemed to have won before B-Fab interfered.

    However, as Cargill hit her finisher, Charlotte Flair placed Ripley’s foot on the bottom rope. In the final moments, Ripley hit her second Riptide to earn her second win over Cargill.

    Match Previews

    World Heavyweight Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Jacob Fatu (Tribal Combat)

    The cousins run it back in Tribal Combat after Reigns barely survived their first encounter, and the family hierarchy is the real prize.

    • The reign: Reigns defeated Fatu at Backlash, but needed a shortcut to do it, leaving the result feeling unfinished.
    • The flashpoint: Fatu refused to acknowledge Reigns as the head of the family, triggering weeks of back-and-forth attacks.
    • The wrinkle: Fatu suffered an apparent injury scare at a Liverpool house show in the lead-up, and WWE was reportedly monitoring his status into the weekend.
    • The stipulation: Tribal Combat raises the stakes beyond a normal title defense, putting the family leadership on the line alongside the gold.
    • What’s at stake: The World Heavyweight Championship and which Anoa’i sits atop the bloodline.

    Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Gunther

    Gunther cashed in a favor to land the title shot, and the buildup has turned personal fast.

    • The challenge: Gunther answered an open challenge to the SmackDown locker room, then locked Rhodes in a sleeper hold to announce himself as the next contender.
    • The history: The two have traded attacks for weeks, with Rhodes dismissing Gunther as unready for a prizefight.
    • The personal layer: Rhodes is also dealing with friend Sami Zayn, who stood by during a Gunther attack rather than intervene.
    • The receipts: Gunther is a two-time world heavyweight champion and the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in WWE history, making the WWE Championship his next target.
    • What’s at stake: The Undisputed WWE Championship and Rhodes’ standing as the face of the company.

    WWE Women’s Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Jade Cargill

    A WrestleMania 42 rematch with the women’s title on the line and a heated personal edge.

    • The history: Ripley and Cargill have built one of the division’s most physical rivalries heading into Turin.

    • The wrinkle: Ripley arrives carrying the toll of a brutal schedule, having recently opened up about her physical and mental struggles on the road.
    • What’s at stake: The WWE Women’s Championship and bragging rights in a rivalry that has spilled past WrestleMania.

    Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Sol Ruca

    A title defense clouded by questions over the challenger’s health.

    • The setup: Lynch defends the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against the rising Sol Ruca.
    • The wrinkle: Ruca is banged up from her Saturday Night’s Main Event match against Lynch, and Lynch publicly claimed Ruca was not medically cleared. Reports indicated Ruca traveled to Italy intending to compete.
    • What’s at stake: The Women’s Intercontinental Championship, with Ruca’s condition the wild card heading into the bell.

    Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar

    The lone non-title bout may be the most anticipated match on the card.

    • The setup: Lesnar made a shocking return that ended retirement speculation, attacking Femi to set up the rematch.
    • The history: The two first met at WrestleMania 42, and this is the follow-up to that encounter.
    • The stakes: A Femi win would cement him as a future world champion, while a Lesnar win keeps the veteran’s late-career run rolling.

  • Cody Rhodes Believes WWE Clash PLEs Have Replaced A Major ‘Big Four’ Event

    Cody Rhodes Believes WWE Clash PLEs Have Replaced A Major ‘Big Four’ Event

    The Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes believes the WWE Clash events have replaced Survivor Series in the WWEs’ “Big Four” events.

    WWE Clash in Italy PLE takes place this Sunday, and ahead of the show, ‘The American Nightmare joined ESPN’s UnSportsmanLike podcast. He said that the Clash events are emerging as one of the WWE’s “Big Four” events.

    Cody Rhodes assured that WrestleMania and SummerSlam will always take the first two spots. However, he believes the Clash PLEs have replaced Survivor Series in the third spot due to its international appeal.

    “Well, your big four were traditionally SummerSlam, WrestleMania, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble. Now I think you’re looking at WrestleMania is always gonna be number one, SummerSlam, which is coming up in Minneapolis, two nights, amazing. I think I wouldn’t put Survivor Series there anymore. These are my personal picks,” Cody Rhodes said.

    “I’d almost say maybe Money in the Bank, but I think Clash is becoming number three because of the international appeal of it and the fact that it was, you know, Clash in Cardiff, Clash, it’s moving all around. I like that. It gives every city an opportunity,” Cody Rhodes continued.

    Rhodes said he currently views WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and the Clash events as WWE’s top three premium live events. After initially leaving out the Royal Rumble, Rhodes corrected himself and named his personal “Big Four” as WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Clash, and the Royal Rumble, while notably excluding Survivor Series and Money in the Bank from the list.

    “I don’t want to use Money in the Bank. I’m going to give you my big three. My big three. WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Clash right now. That’s my big three. Yeah, now I’m screwed. It’s early, guys, hold up, hold up, watch this. Let me give you my big four. WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Clash, and then, obviously, the Royal Rumble. There it is. And I won the Royal Rumble twice. I should absolutely be saying the Royal Rumble,” Cody Rhodes said.

    WWE originally ran Clash of Champions from 2016-17 and in 2019-20, the PLE was rebranded for its international tours. Till date, there have been a couple of Clash at the Castle events in Wales and Scotland in 2022 and 2024, and Clash in Paris in 2025.

    WWE Clash in Italy will take place this Sunday in Turin, Italy where Rhodes faces Gunther for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

  • Cody Rhodes Provides Health Update Before WWE Clash In Italy

    Cody Rhodes Provides Health Update Before WWE Clash In Italy

    The Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes recently provided a health update and discussed his upcoming title defense against Gunther at WWE Clash in Italy.

    During an appearance on ESPN’s Get Up, ‘The American Nightmare’ addressed questions about his physical condition, stating he is cleared to compete.

    “Well, I’m here. I’m here, and I’m holding the WWE Championship; that’s the most important thing. And all that concussion protocol and this thing was completely swollen shut, staples to the back of the head, stitches to the front of the head, I still found a way to wrestle the following week, so (I’m) built a little different. Yeah, I’m feeling real braggadocios about it. Gave me his best shot, and I came and wrestled the next week.”

    Rhodes Dismisses Home Turf Advantage

    When asked about facing Gunther in Europe, Rhodes dismissed any home-turf advantage concerns.

    “I don’t think it’s his home turf, this is an Austrian, this is Clash in Italy, they are not the same places. Europe is not a monolith,” Rhodes explained.

    He continued:

    “I actually think that he’s under the impression that this is gonna be an away game for me. I don’t think that. I think Italy will be a crowd like France was: loudest WWE crowd imaginable.”

    The Cody Rhodes vs. GUNTHER match at WWE Clash in Italy will see Rhodes defend his WWE Undisputed Championship against the Austrian challenger.

  • WWE Hall of Famer Pitches Cody Rhodes Loss at WWE Clash in Italy

    WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray believes Cody Rhodes should lose the Undisputed WWE Championship to Gunther at Clash in Italy.

    ‘The American Nightmare’ is set to put his Undisputed WWE title on the line against ‘The Ring General’ at the PLE in Turin, Italy. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Ray shared his pitch for the match.

    He argued that Cody Rhodes should be placed in a “no hope” situation heading into the match. He wants to see the champion struggle in a way that creates genuine doubt about his ability to retain.

    “I want Cody to be in a situation that he’s not used to being in where there is no hope,” Ray said. “Want Cody to go to sleep this week on SmackDown, I want Cody to go to sleep next week on SmackDown. And I want Cody to go to sleep in the match in Turin, and I want Gunther to win.”

    The Reason Behind the Pitch

    Ray explained that taking the title from Rhodes would create stronger heel heat for Gunther. He believes WWE should rely on traditional storytelling methods that have worked in wrestling for decades.

    “I want to take the hope from Cody away,” Ray continued. “Would love to see WWE rely on things that have been working in pro wrestling for hundreds of years, and that is going with some heel heat and steam in which the babyface has no hope, and now we see Cody put in a situation where he might have to question himself.”

    The veteran doesn’t believe a loss would hurt Rhodes long-term. He argued that Rhodes’ fanbase would rally behind him and support his eventual comeback.

    “I believe he should defeat Cody. Will the loss affect Cody? Absolutely not, because Cody’s fanbase will rally behind him, because Cody’s fanbase has hope in Cody and they believe in Cody and they will will Cody back to his next victory,” Ray said.

    Whether WWE follows Bully Ray’s booking idea remains to be seen, but the suggestion adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming showdown between Cody Rhodes and Gunther.

    With Clash in Italy shaping up as one of WWE’s biggest international events of the year, a title change would instantly shock fans and potentially elevate Gunther to an even higher level as a dominant heel champion.

  • Former WWE Star Teases ‘Full Circle Moment’ With Clash In Italy 2026 Appearance

    Former WWE Star Teases ‘Full Circle Moment’ With Clash In Italy 2026 Appearance

    Former WWE star Santino Marella recently teased the possibility of appearing at WWE Clash in Italy on May 31.

    TNA Director of Authority responded to a fan-made poster that features him at the Premium Live Event, calling it a potential full circle moment.

    Marella posted on his X account in response to the fan artwork.

    “It would be a full circle moment for sure,” he wrote.

    The comment has fueled speculation about a possible appearance at the event, though WWE has not officially announced Marella for the show. Clash in Italy marks WWE’s first Premium Live Event in the country and takes place at Inalpi Arena in Turin.

    Marella’s WWE and TNA History

    Marella debuted on WWE’s main roster in 2007 and remained with the company until 2016. Since his WWE departure, he has been signed with TNA and competed in the promotion’s crossover storyline with NXT.

    He recently teamed with Arianna Grace in TNA’s first ever father-daughter tag team match. His Italian heritage and connection to the country make the speculation about a Clash in Italy appearance particularly notable to fans.
