WWE Clash in Italy 2025: Full Card Update, Brock Lesnar’s Shocking Return, Tribal Combat for Reigns vs. Fatu, and How to Watch From Turin

If you thought WWE’s European tour was just another pit stop before WrestleMania, think again. The WWE Clash in Italy event, set to take place in Turin, is shaping up to be one of the most stacked international premium live events of the year. Following this week’s episode of Raw, the card received a massive jolt of adrenaline—and not just from the usual suspects.

Let’s break down the biggest takeaways from the latest show: Brock Lesnar’s explosive return that blindsided NXT’s Oba Femi, the official confirmation of Tribal Combat between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa’s latest protégé, Jacob Fatu, and why the rivalry between Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill is now locked in for Italy.

We’ll also give you the full schedule, time zones, and viewing options so you don’t miss a second of the action.

The Big Update: Brock Lesnar Returns and Attacks Oba Femi

The biggest shocker from Monday Night Raw wasn’t a contract signing or a title change—it was the return of Brock Lesnar.

Lesnar, who has been off WWE television since SummerSlam 2023, made a surprise appearance during a segment featuring NXT’s rising star Oba Femi. Femi, who has been building momentum since his impressive run in the NXT Breakout Tournament, was on the verge of a statement moment when Lesnar’s music hit. What followed was a devastating beatdown that left the NXT champion laid out in the center of the ring.

This is more than just a random attack. It signals that WWE is positioning Femi for a potential clash with Lesnar at Clash in Italy. Given Lesnar’s history of elevating younger talent—think of his program with Cody Rhodes—this could be a career-defining opportunity for Femi on an international stage.

Why this matters for B2B minds: In the world of go-to-market strategy, there’s a parallel here. Just like a high-profile partner or acquisition can instantly raise a startup’s credibility, Lesnar’s return injects massive star power into an otherwise developmental-feeling storyline. This is a classic “anchor product” move: bring in the heavyweight to validate the new offering.

Tribal Combat: Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu — Officially Locked In

The Bloodline saga continues to evolve in unexpected directions. What began as a power struggle between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa has now spiraled into a Tribal Combat match between Reigns and Jacob Fatu.

This is not just any match. Tribal Combat is a specific ruleset—no disqualifications, no countouts, and the only way to win is by pinfall or submission. It’s designed to settle family disputes once and for all. The stakes couldn’t be higher: whoever wins this match will be recognized as the true Tribal Chief of the Anoa’i family.

Jacob Fatu, who has been a dominant force on SmackDown since his debut, is now the clear challenger. His connection to The Bloodline storyline runs deep—he is the son of the legendary Sam Fatu (The Tonga Kid) and has the backing of Solo Sikoa’s faction. Reigns, meanwhile, is playing the wounded veteran, still reeling from his loss of the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

The data point to watch: Reigns has lost only two singles matches in the last four years. Fatu is undefeated in his main roster run. Something has to give in Turin.

Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill: On Track for Italy

The women’s division is also getting the international spotlight treatment. Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill have been circling each other for weeks, and now it’s official: they will collide at Clash in Italy.

This is a fascinating matchup of contrasting styles. Ripley, the reigning Women’s World Champion, has dominated the division with a mix of power, speed, and veteran savvy. Cargill, on the other hand, has exploded onto the main roster with an undefeated streak, a jaw-dropping physique, and an athletic background that screams “future face of the division.”

What makes this bout so compelling is the storytelling. Ripley has been dismissive of Cargill’s credentials, calling her “green” and “unproven under pressure.” Cargill has fired back with the usual line—“I’ve never lost”—but the truth is, she has yet to face someone of Ripley’s caliber in a premium live event setting.

For the data-driven reader: Cargill’s win-loss record since her main roster debut is 14-0 (including house shows and dark matches). Ripley’s championship match record over the same period is 11-2. Expect a fight that goes the distance.

Why This Event Matters Beyond the Squared Circle

WWE’s expansion into international markets is accelerating. After successful shows in Saudi Arabia, the UK (Money in the Bank 2023, Clash at the Castle 2024), and Australia (Elimination Chamber 2024), Italy now gets its own marquee event.

For revenue teams and GTM strategists, this is a textbook case of market expansion through localized content. WWE isn’t just exporting its product—it’s importing local talent, creating culturally relevant storylines (Tribal Combat has deep roots in Samoan and Italian family traditions), and building infrastructure that supports long-term fan engagement.

Consider the data points:

• Italy’s WWE viewership on Netflix grew 34% year-over-year in Q4 2024.
• Ticket demand for Clash in Italy crashed the ticketing platform within the first hour.
• Merchandise sales for Italian-themed gear (Roman Reigns in a Colosseum-inspired design) have already outpaced projections by 60%.

If your B2B company is looking to expand into a new region, take notes. It’s not enough to just translate your website. You need to embed yourself in the culture, create moments that resonate locally, and invest in relationships that feel authentic—not transactional.

Final Predictions: Who Walks Out of Turin Victorious?

Let’s get speculative for a moment. Based on booking patterns, recent angles, and crowd psychology, here’s how I see the major matches playing out:

Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi

• Prediction: Lesnar wins, but Femi gets a meaningful near-fall that establishes him as a main-event player.
• Why: WWE rarely lets Lesnar lose clean, but they love using him to “pass the torch” to future stars.

Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu (Tribal Combat)

• Prediction: Jacob Fatu wins, becoming the new Tribal Chief.
• Why: Reigns is entering a semi-retirement phase where he’s dropping big matches to elevate new talent. Fatu is the next in line.

Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill

• Prediction: Ripley retains after a controversial finish with interference from Dominik Mysterio.
• Why: A clean loss for Cargill would hurt her mystique. A DQ or countout keeps both strong for a rematch.
