As previously reported, it was announced during this past Friday’s episode of WWE SmackDown that reigning WWE Women's Champion Rhea Ripley will defend her title against Jade Cargill in a rematch from WrestleMania 42. This match was set up in the opening segment when Ripley addressed Cargill’s attack on her the previous week, stating that she accepted the rematch.
According to Rope Break, the creative plan as of last week was for Ripley to retain her championship over Cargill at Clash In Italy.
WWE Clash In Italy 2026 is scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 31, at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy. The show will air live on ESPN Unlimited in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally, with the first hour of the show airing on ESPN.
