Submitted by Tom Araya on

During last night's episode of SmackDown, which served as the go-home show for WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, the company announced that the first hour of next weekend's WWE Clash In Italy premium live event (PLE) will air on ESPN.

This decision follows similar arrangements made for WWE Backlash and both nights of WrestleMania 42. The first hour of WWE Backlash aired on ESPN2, while the first hours of WrestleMania 42 were broadcast on ESPN2 and ESPN on night one and night two, respectively.

According to the announcement, the first hour of next weekend's PLE on ESPN will feature a WWE Women's Championship Match between reigning champion Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill. WWE Clash In Italy is scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 31st, at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy. The show will air live on ESPN Unlimited in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally.
