A challenge for the WWE title has been made for Clash In Italy in Turin as Gunther looks to get his hands on some gold after retiring John Cena and AJ Styles.

On Smackdown last night, Cody Rhodes came out looking for a fight but was instead met by Paul Heyman, who informed him that the fight he was looking for wouldn’t be in Jacksonville, or even in the United States, but it would be in Italy.

Gunther did eventually make his presence felt, running in from the stands and trying a sneak attack on the champion. This time, Rhodes was prepared and avoided going to sleep.

The former World Heavyweight champion is now officially part of the Smackdown roster. The match between the two for the Italian premium live event has not been confirmed yet, but expected to be one of the main events come late May.
