Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship
This match is a rematch from WrestleMania 42. Rhea Ripley defends her title against Jade Cargill, following a feud that began with Ripley’s victory in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match. Cargill, who was defeated at WrestleMania, has vowed to reclaim the title. Pinning Ripley during Saturday Night’s Main Event, Cargill is focused on regaining her championship.
Prediction: Ripley retains the title in Turin.
Becky Lynch vs. Sol Ruca for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship
Becky Lynch previously told Sol Ruca she hadn’t earned a title shot since joining WWE’s main roster. However, Lynch was disqualified at Saturday Night’s Main Event, forcing her into a title match against Ruca. Set by SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis, this match presents Ruca her biggest challenge. Ruca is emerging as a talent since her NXT debut.
Prediction: Lynch retains her championship status.
Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar
The clash between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar will showcase powerhouses in WWE. Known as “The Ruler” and “The Beast,” the two will deliver intense action. Femi defeated Lesnar at WrestleMania 42. Lesnar, who seemed to retire, returned by attacking Femi on “Monday Night Raw.” The rematch is set for this event.
Prediction: Lesnar wins, setting up a potential third match.
Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther for the Undisputed WWE Championship
Cody Rhodes faces Gunther in the midst of his third reign as Undisputed WWE Champion. After winning the title from Drew McIntyre and defending against Randy Orton at WrestleMania, Rhodes now faces Gunther following Gunther’s efforts on “Friday Night SmackDown.” Gunther achieved victory over Royce Keys to become the top contender amid back-and-forth encounters.
Prediction: Gunther emerges as champion.
Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu for the World Heavyweight Championship
