Clash in Italy predictions​

Here's how we see the matches playing out.

Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther​

This one is a coin flip. Cody Rhodes is WWE's golden boy. They love having the belt on him. But he's not afraid to lose it. He lost it to John Cena and dropped it to Drew McIntyre during his run. I don't see Gunther losing. He could, but I think the guy who retired Goldberg, John Cena and AJ Styles should keep rolling. Prediction: Gunther beats Cody Rhodes for the championship.

Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill​

The other title match set for ESPN features a WrestleMania rematch. Jade Cargill has been great as the hunter. She and her henchwomen have been great attacking Rhea Ripley and friends. I could see Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair evening the odds here. Rhea retains. Prediction: Rhea Ripley beats Jade Cargill.

Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi​

The three matches I'm looking forward to the most are the three that aren't on ESPN. While those two matches are good, these last three have the potential to be great. And this match will be great. I can see it going both ways. I argued Brock should win at WrestleMania because where do you go with Oba from here? I don't see Oba here losing, but I could easily make a case on why Brock should win. Either way, it's going to be fast, high impact and exciting. Prediciton: Oba Femi beats Brock Lesnar

Becky Lynch vs. Sol Ruca​

I'm starting to disagree with Becky Lynch about being the best woman wrestler. She might be the best wrestler. I enjoy everything she does. She elevates everyone. And she's going to do the same with Sol Ruca. I have high expectations for this match. I don't see Sol Ruca winning, but I see her becoming a star after this feud. Prediction: Becky Lynch beats Sol Ruca

Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu​

I'm torn on this one. I can see Jacob Fatu winning. I could also see him losing and becoming Roman's unwilling lacky, setting up a championship win down the line. I'm hoping Roman Reigns wins, he's my guy, but I'm starting to think Jacob Fatu is going to win. But no matter what happens, they're going to destroy each other. Prediction: Jacob Fatu beats Roman Reigns.
