- WWE Clash In Italy 2026 takes place at Inalpi Arena in Turin on Sunday, May 31, with a 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT start and a 12 p.m. ET preshow.
- Cody Rhodes defends the Undisputed WWE Championship against Gunther in the main event, having won the title from Drew McIntyre at WWE Smackdown in Portland, Oregon in March.
- ESPN Unlimited is the exclusive streaming home, starting at $29.99/month with no free trial, though viewers can access it free via DirecTV, Fubo, or Hulu + Live TV workarounds.
- The five-match main card includes four title bouts: Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill for the Women's Championship, Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu in a Tribal Combat match for the World Heavyweight Championship, and Becky Lynch vs. Sol Ruca for the Women's Intercontinental Championship.
- Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar rounds out the card in a non-title matchup.
- The Disney Streaming Bundle combining ESPN Unlimited, Hulu, and Disney+ starts at $35.99/month, offering roughly 40% savings versus the three services separately.
- Unlike past WWE events, Clash In Italy is not a pay-per-view — it requires only an ESPN Unlimited subscription rather than a separate PPV purchase.
Why it matters: With WWE PLEs now locked behind ESPN Unlimited's $29.99/month paywall and no free trial, casual fans face a steeper cost barrier than during the old $39.99-per-show PPV era. The four title fights and a Lesnar appearance give subscribers heavy title-defense density for their subscription dollar.
