Gunther has been on the run of a lifetime dating back to Saturday Night's Main Event last July, where he retired WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg, and he'll look to keep his momentum rolling later at the end of this month when WWE holds the company's first ever Premium Live Event in Italy.

The Ring General has also ended the careers of 17-Time World Champion John Cena and WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles in recent months, and now he has the opportunity to end the WWE Championship reign of Cody Rhodes at Clash in Italy.

As he proved at WrestleMania 42 last month when he knocked off his old mentor Randy Orton, The American Nightmare is easy to find, but hard to beat. Gunther is coming off his own victory over Seth Rollins at the 'Showcase of the Immortals', and he had to cash in his favor from Paul Heyman in order to join SmackDown and receive the opportunity to prove that he is capable of beating Cody Rhodes.

The World Heavyweight Championship will also be on the line when Clash in Italy goes live on ESPN Unlimted on Sunday, May 31.

Roman Reigns was moments away from washing his hands of his cousin Jacob Fatu, and allowing Raw General Manager Adam Pearce to terminate his contact, but the Samoan Werewolf issued a last second challenge for Tribal Combat. The OTC had no choice but to accept.

There have only been two Tribal Combat Matches in WWE history, and Roman Reigns has won both of them. There will be no count outs, no disqualifications and only one rule. The loser must acknowledge the winner.

Brock Lesnar made his absolutely shocking return to WWE during the May 18 episode of Raw. The Beast officially retired from in-ring competition following his loss to Oba Femi at WrestleMania 42, but he didn't wait long at all to make his comeback.

Lesnar laid out The Ruler with a blideside attack as he was waiting for someone to answer his open challenge. When Adam Pearce went searching for answers moments later, he was handed a contract from Paul Heyman.

That contract was for a match in Turin, and Brock Lesnar's signature was already on it. It's just a matter of time before Femi also puns pen to paper and this massive WrestleMania rematch is made official.

Jade Cargill recently made her return to the Blue Brand. The Storm was weathered at WrestleMania 42 by Rhea Ripley, but a new front has developed, and it's descending upon the city Turin.

Cargill issued a challenge for a WWE Women's Championship rematch at Clash in Italy, and Mami happily accepted. Jade then picked up a bit of momentum when she pinned Ripley in their Six-Women Tag Team Match at Saturday Night's Main Event.

Speaking of SNME, Becky Lynch purposefully got herself disqualified against Sol Ruca and will now have to defend her Women's Intercontinental Championship against the Raw newcomer. Here is everything we currently know about Clash in Italy. Make sure to check back for updates as more matches will be announced in the coming days.
