Rematches is the unofficial theme this weekend as WWE makes history with the Clash in Italy premium live event (PLE).
For the first time ever, WWE will hold a PLE in Italy, marking just the fourth 'Clash’ event after Clash at the Castle in 2022 and 2024 - in Cardiff, Wales and Glasgow, Scotland respectively - as well as Clash in Paris (France) from last August.
Four championship matches have been signed for the WWE Clash in Italy card, with champions Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch all facing familiar foes.
Reigns may have successfully retained the world heavyweight championship at Backlash earlier in the month - his first title defence after beating CM Punk at WrestleMania 42 - but it was Jacob Fatu standing tall after the match and causing destruction by viciously attacking Reigns and WWE officials.

Having refused to acknowledge 'the original tribal chief', Fatu's challenge to Reigns for a rematch to be contested under 'tribal combat' rules was duly accepted and the cousins will look to settle a score.
Cody Rhodes and Gunther, meanwhile, are set to cross paths once again, only this time the stakes are even higher as the Undisputed WWE championship is on the line.
From being the last two participants in the 2023 men's Royal Rumble match to facing off in a champion vs. champion match for the Crown Jewel title in 2024, Rhodes has the upper hand going into this latest bout, but this is a different Gunther.
The 'ring general' has been on a roll in recent months, retiring both John Cena and AJ Styles, and beating Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 42.
Elsewhere on the Clash in Italy card, a few days removed from their short-lived match at Saturday Night's Main Event, Becky Lynch and Sol Ruca do battle once again with the women’s Intercontinental championship up for grabs.
In a rematch from WrestleMania 42, Jade Cargill will look to return to the top of the women's division on Smackdown by knocking off Rhea Ripley having secured a pinfall victory over the champion in a six-woman tag team match in Indiana last weekend.
The only non-title match on the card sees Brock Lesnar seek revenge on Oba Femi following his loss at WrestleMania 42.
After defeat in Las Vegas, Lesnar left his gloves and boots in the ring to seemingly confirm his retirement from professional wrestling. However, he made a shocking return on the May 18 episode of WWE Raw by attacking Oba Femi to set up a second battle between the pair.
Non-stop excitement has been promised in Turin and here’s everything you need to know about WWE Clash in Italy.
