WWE Clash In Italy predictions, full match card, start time

WWE is staging it's first ever premium live event in Italy, and you can expect a raucous crowd and plenty of sing-a-longs in Turin during Sunday's Clash In Italy.

WWE's trips to Europe in recent years have delivered classic moments, with hot crowds elevating every moment and turning even ho-hum matches into classics. Four championships will be defended on Sunday in Italy, including Cody Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Championship and Roman Reigns' World Heavyweight Championship.

Here's everything you about Clash in Italy, including our match-by-match predictions.

What time does Clash In Italy start?

Clash In Italy will start at 2 p.m. ET at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy.

Clash In Italy full match card -

Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Gunther for the Undisputed WWE Championship

Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Jade Cargill for the WWE Women's Championship

Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar

Becky Lynch (c) vs. Sol Ruca for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship

Roman Reigns (c) vs. Jacob Fatu in Tribal Combat for the World Heavyweight Championship

Clash In Italy predictions: Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther

Rhodes has held the Undisputed WWE Championship since early March, and retained the title at WrestleMania against Randy Orton. This match could go either way, and it really comes down to WWE's plan for Gunther at SummerSlam.

Is the Career Killer being lined up to eventually retire Brock Lesnar? And if Gunther vs. Lesnar is shaping up for SummerSlam, does it really need an Undisputed WWE Championship attached to it?

WWE will want both of these guys to look great, but the story driving this championship tilt isn't the strongest. Rhodes retains in a controversial finish.

Winner: Cody Rhodes

Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill

A WrestleMania 42 rematch that should eclipse the original, if only because it's unlikely Ripley and Cargill will be so limited on match time at Clash In Italy. Ripley snatched Cargill's title away in April, and there's really no good reason to take the belt off the biggest star in the women's division right now.

Winner: Rhea Ripley

Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi

When Brock Lesnar "retired" at WrestleMania 42 earlier this year, it was speculated that the original plan would have been for Lesnar's final match to come at SummerSlam in Minneapolis in August. Lesnar's back now, at any rate, and for perhaps one of the only times in his career, he's a massive underdog against the behemoth that is Oba Femi.

Femi has rapidly become a major star and a fan favorite, and it's hard to imagine WWE curbing that on Sunday to hand a 48-year-old Lesnar what would be a meaningless win - unless WWE plans for Oba to retire Lesnar at SummerSlam in the rubber match.

Winner: Oba Femi

Becky Lynch vs. Sol Ruca

It will be interesting to see if WWE calls an audible here, as Sol Ruca's arrival on the main roster has been a bit shaky to start, with multiple mishaps occurring as she's tried to execute her sensational Sol Snatcher finisher. Still, Sol Ruca is a major star of the future in the women's division, while Becky Lynch remains a main-eventer who doesn't really need to be carrying around the intercontinental title to be a top star. That being said, WWE may opt to let Sol Ruca develop a bit more before a coronation later this year.

Winner: Sol Ruca

Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu

Roman Reigns has never lost a "Tribal Combat" match - a stipulation that means that there's no disqualifications or count-outs - but is the time finally ripe for a new "Head of the Table?"

Just as at Backlash in their first title bout, Fatu winning here and changing the dynamic of The Bloodline is the more interesting outcome from a storytelling perspective, but picking against Roman Reigns is usually the incorrect choice.

Winner: Roman Reigns
