WWE Clash In Italy will officially air its first hour on ESPN, as confirmed on this week’s WWE Smackdown. It was announced on Friday’s episode that next weekend’s PLE will air the first hour on ESPN.

The move follows in the footsteps of WWE Backlash and both nights of WrestleMania 42. WWE Backlash’s first hour aired on ESPN2, while the first hours of WrestleMania 42 aired on ESPN2 and ESPN on night one and night two, respectively.

It has not yet been announced which matches will take place on the ESPN hour. WWE Clash in Italy takes place on May 31st at Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy. The show airs live on ESPN Unlimited in the US and Netflix internationally.
