Rhea Ripley Retains WWE Women’s Championship at Clash in Italy

Rhea Ripley showcased her dominance once again with a victory over Jade Cargill during the Clash in Italy event. This win allowed her to retain the WWE Women’s Championship. The event took place on May 31, 2026, at the Inalpi Arena in Torino di Sangro, Italy.

Throughout the match, Jade Cargill’s confidence was evident. She frequently taunted Ripley with push-ups and executed moves with ease, eager to regain the title she lost at WrestleMania 42. Despite Cargill’s determination, Ripley proved to be a formidable opponent.

The competition was intense, with both wrestlers matching each other’s prowess for several minutes. As the match progressed, Cargill’s allies intervened, disrupting Ripley’s pin attempt by placing Cargill’s foot on the rope. Charlotte Flair then entered the fray, neutralizing B-Fab and Michin, and thwarting Cargill’s own pin attempt after a Jaded.

Seizing the opportunity, Ripley attacked Cargill with a headbutt followed by her signature move, the Riptide, to secure the victory. Charlotte Flair observed the conclusion of the match with a contemplative gaze, watching Cargill exit the ring.

The history between Ripley and Flair is well-documented, marked by their memorable confrontation at WrestleMania 39. Although their interactions have intensified with Ripley’s ongoing feud with Cargill, their alliance remains complex.

With SummerSlam in Minneapolis on the horizon, there is speculation that Flair might soon pursue the WWE Women’s Championship herself, creating potential for another dynamic showdown.
