Roman Reigns retained the World Heavyweight Championship in Turin, pinning Jacob Fatu after two late spears in roughly 27 minutes of Tribal Combat.
The finish came after Reigns survived Fatu’s Mighty Moonsault and Tongan Death Grip, used a low blow to halt a near-fall sequence, then drove Fatu through a table before the decisive spear.
The sold-out Inalpi Arena show drew more than 12,000 expected fans, and the post-match angle reinforced Reigns’ Tribal Chief status as Jimmy and Jey Uso joined him while Fatu was left to follow.
Clash in Italy also featured Cody Rhodes retaining the WWE Championship over Gunther in 11:35 amid rope-break controversy, Brock Lesnar beating Oba Femi in 6:25, and Sol Ruca upsetting Becky Lynch for the Women’s U.S. title.
