WWE will stage Clash in Italy on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET. The event streams exclusively in the U.S. on the ESPN Unlimited plan.
Femi is scheduled to face Brock Lesnar for a second time.
Lesnar retired after losing to Femi at WrestleMania 42 in April but returned on the most recent episode of Raw to answer an open challenge. Lesnar delivered multiple F5 moves during the segment. He later stated that he did not want the final image of his career to be the loss at WrestleMania.
Rhodes will defend the WWE Championship against Gunther. The match was arranged after Paul Heyman secured a SmackDown contract for Gunther and arranged the title bout. Gunther initially refused to sign the contracts until Rhodes said the word "please." The exchange occurred after Gunther appeared on SmackDown and applied a sleeper hold to Rhodes.
The card also includes the return of Tribal Combat.
The event takes place in Turin, Italy. >"Raw general manager Adam Pearce filed the paperwork." — ESPN, May 28, 2026
