On today's wrestling news, the clash in Italy main event is in jeopardy.

0:03.6

WWE considering adding some new people to the vision. Donald Trump buys TKO stock. I've got the latest on Enzo and Cass potentially returning to WWE. Are you ready? Are you ready with the news time? My name is Phil James and I'm joined by Gareth Morgan. We did it. Finally, it's been a lot. It's been a while. Been a while. But let's get right into it.

0:23.0

The Clash in Italy main event. We did it. Finally, it's been a lot. It's been a while. Been a while.

0:23.0

But let's get right into it.

0:25.8

The clash in Italy main event is in jeopardy.

0:27.8

It is this weekend, of course, on Sunday.

0:32.2

And it is going to be Jacob Fatu versus Roman Reins in tribal combat.

0:42.0

But at a house show in Liverpool, Jacob Fatu was wrestling solo skoer in a street fight and got injured in that match.

0:44.2

They were seen sort of limping about after that.

0:47.6

It wasn't mentioned at all on Smackdown, so they kind of just brushed over that.

0:50.7

But there are a couple of sort of reports about it. So, PWI initially, P2WI Elite initially reported that he was hurt, but they didn't quite know the extent of it. So, uh, PWI initially, P2i elite initially reported that he was hurt, but then

0:56.3

they didn't like quite know the extent of it. And then, uh, false finishes Corey Hayes has a follow

1:01.9

up from that saying that WWE is under the assumption that Jacob Fatu will be fine for

1:07.0

clash in Italy, but they are looking at alternative potential plans just in case they

1:18.8

main event like this. But hopefully it's just a niggly little thing and he can either work through

1:23.8

it or I'm always like sort of fully healed by the time it comes around to Sunday but yeah just

1:28.8

a little detail that they definitely don't want for the main event in clash in Italy yeah if ever there

1:35.2

was going to be an injury I guess this kind of like smoke and mirrors bells and whistles kind of matches

1:40.6

the one you want it to go to like obviously it's probably going to be a lot of crazy bumps and all the rest of it

1:45.7

because it's tribal combat and there's weapons and all the rest of it. But you could maybe get around that just by whacking each other with Kendall sticks. I don't know. Like, if it's like a leg injury, whatever it is, like maybe you could just hobble it. I don't know the extent of it.
