Out of everything that happened, the last part stood out most clearly. Face to face, they stood – Cody Rhodes and GUNTHER – with their title clash set to kick off Clash in Italy. Not once did GUNTHER mention skill; instead, he claimed Rhodes wins only because fans cheer louder. In reply, Rhodes pointed at GUNTHER and asked how someone so obsessed with victory could talk about integrity. Both want the belt more than anything else, it seems.

GUNTHER Predicts Rhodes’ Downfall

A quiet moment between them, yet filled with tension. Stillness hung in the air when GUNTHER spoke, his voice low. He brought up names – Goldberg, then AJ Styles, followed by John Cena. What happened to each was mentioned without emotion. His next words landed like a weight: Rhodes would fall the same way. Choked out under bright lights, just before the crowd’s silence took over. The title change feels inevitable now.

Jade Cargill Sends A Brutal Message

Night took a sharp turn when Jade Cargill sent a clear signal. Victory came fast over Alexa Bliss, but only after trouble near the ring pulled Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley out of view. Once the match ended, Cargill struck again – Bliss was dropped cold by Jaded, back-first onto a steel chair. Message aimed straight at Ripley, ahead of their title fight in Italy. Chaos lingered, pulling Flair further into the mix. The story now spills past two names on a marquee.

Chaos Erupts Around The Miz

Midway through the show, chaos took center stage. Lights cutting out gave Axiom an opening when they blinked during a moment tied to Danhausen’s strange hallway moments behind the scenes, letting him take down The Miz. Not long afterward, the fallen star warned he might sue over what he called dangerous match setups – until someone sprayed a fire extinguisher right into the argument.

Solo Sikoa Tips The Scales

Over in another bout, M.F.T. walked away victorious against Damian Priest and Royce Keys after Solo Sikoa stepped in from ringside; any hope R-Truth had built for teamwork between the losing pair crumbled fast. Elsewhere, Sami Zayn got the win over Matt Cardona, though tension lingers – he never let go of his doubts about Cody Rhodes after their sharp exchange backstage hours before.

Pressure builds as Barcelona faces another clash in Italy. Rivalries grow sharper, yet none are settled.
