Buckle in, wrestling fans, because the next week is going to be huge for WWE.
The sports entertainment juggernaut is prepared for a special Saturday Night’s Main Event show this weekend, just days before the biggest superstars head to Europe for Clash In Italy.
In between that, there’s also AAA event Noche de los Grande, and every show is rammed with stacked cards offering something for everyone.
With the Clash In Italy premium live event next weekend being a clear focus, SNME is offering fans a chance to see a card featuring superstars that don’t always get a PLE focus, while there are still three championships up for grabs.
Taking a page from NXT boss Shawn Michaels’ playbook, the women of WWE are taking centre stage with three huge matches, while Ethan Page has a chance to win gold against Intercontinental Champion Penta.
Here’s everything you need to know.

Why isn’t Saturday Night’s Main Event on Netflix?
Since WWE joined forces with Netflix at start of 2025, UK fans have been able to stream Raw, SmackDown and NXT live every single week as part of the streamer’s regular subscriptions.
As well as the weekly shows, fans also get regular monthly premium live events like Clash In Italy, SummerSlam, Wrestlemania and more, plus classic PLEs and documentaries.
However, in the US Saturday Night’s Main Event is still a special on Peacock, and a knock-on of the rights situation means they get broadcast on YouTube internationally instead, like AAA’s events which air on Fox in the US.
When is WWE Clash In Italy?
This weekend it’s Saturday Night’s Main Event, but next weekend WWE travels to Turin for Clash In Italy on May 31.
So far, there are only two matches officially confirmed for the event, with Cody Rhodes defending the WWE Championship against Austria’s GUNTHER, who has ended the careers of John Cena and AJ Styles over the past six months.
As well as the American Nightmare taking on the Ring General, fans also know that Roman Reigns will put the World Heavyweight Title on the line against Jacob Fatu in Tribal Combat, with the loser having to acknowledge the winner as their Tribal Chief.
It’s yet to be made 100% official, but after events on Monday Night Raw, it looks almost certain that Brock Lesnar will face Oba Femi in Italy.
The Beast’s WWE comeback earlier this week shocked the wrestling world after Lesnar appeared to retire at WrestleMania 42 last month.
However, he reappeared and dropped The Ruler with four F-5s in a row, standing tall over his rival for the first time after getting dominated in Las Vegas.
Once that gets announced, the card will stand at 3 matches, with two more likely to be added to keep in line with WWE’s trend of five-match shows.
