THE COUNT DOWN SHOW: LIVE ONGOING WWE CLASH IN ITALY COVERAGE

Welcome to PWInsider.com’s live coverage of WWE’s Clash in Italy from Turin, Italy.

Your host is Joe Tessitore.  He is joined by Corey Graves, Big E, and Peter Rosenberg.

Cathy talks about Oba Femi and his match against Brock Lesnar.

Byron talks about Cody Rhodes and Gunther.

The panel discusses the match between Cody Rhodes and Gunther.

Joe Tessitore talked to Cody.

He asks about the attack after his match at Wrestlemania.

Cody says everything you needed to know about him happened after.  He got up and he walked.  He tried to make eye contact with as many people to show that he was still the champ, that he was still here, and if that was Randy's best shot, what does that say.  Cody says he is very lucky and he does not know how much luck he has left.

Joe asks about spending time with his family.

Cody says there is no healing like healing with your family.  Cody says his father talked about walking around the house busted up and to have a young child ask what happened or if he is okay.

Joe asks about Cody making a quick return.

Cody says it was very important and he has to be consistent.  Cody says people joke about him doing the Cena schedule, but what else are you going to follow?  He needs the challenges.

Cody mentions it has been ten years since he left WWE and it has been a gift to make the right decisions, so the right thing, but also to make mistakes.  That is his life.  

Sol Ruca joins the panel.

Becky Lynch talked to Corey Graves.

He asks about her victory at Wrestlemania.  

Becky says it was an incredible evening.  She says she never lost the title because of biased referees.  

Corey asks about Sol Ruca confronting her at the Raw after Wrestlemania.

Becky says Sol is a troublemaker.  She has a contract signing ceremony and it was during her celebration.  She went out there to talk to Adam Pearce and Sol confronts her.  She says Sol attacked her for no reason.

Corey asks about the match at Saturday Night's Main Event.

Becky says she had Sol dead to rights and she tried to pull the referee out of the way and she gets disqualified?  Becky says she saved Jessika Carr even though she doesn't like her.

Corey asks about the challenge facing Sol against her.

Becky says Sol is not ready.  She has bitten off more than she can chew.  She will run home to America while Becky celebrates with her famiily in Europe.

Sol says she is honored to be here when asked about the crowd reaction.

Joe asks how Sol reacts when Becky says she is not ready.

Sol says Becky does not know what she has gone through or how she trained.  She is here to prove her wrong.

Big E asks about her health and Sol says she was medically cleared this morning.

Corey asks if that will be an issue.

Sol says it is crazy to think she has been doing this for four years and she has faced some legends like Liv Morgan, Iyo Sky, and Becky Lynch.  She says she belongs here.

Sol says Becky is willing to do whatever it takes to get the victory.  Sol says she is used to the deep and changing waters with her surfing background.  She says she will do whatever it takes to win the title.

Jacob Fatu says he is here and he says there are no rules or excuses.  There is no way that Roman is walking out of this show with the title.  Fatu says he is the gladiator that will take down the Roman empire.

Michael Cole talks about Tribal Combat.

Byron talks about Roman Reigns and Tribal Combat.

They talk about the Mask vs Mask match last night at AAA,

Liv Morgan joins the panel.

We see what Brock said in his pre-taped comments from Monday night.

Paul Heyman interrupts Cathy Kelley talking about Oba's win at Wrestlemania.

Paul says Cathy wanted to talk about there is no denying what Oba did to Brock at Wrestlemania.  He beat him so bad that Brock retired.  Brock cannot live with that so he is going to do something about it.  Wrestlemania was Oba's night, but that is just one night.  Brock has been dominant for 25 years.  Tonight will be Brock Lesnar's night.  We will see how Oba recovers from a beating at the hands of Brock.

The crowd serenades Liv while the panel talks about Brock and Oba.

We see Rhea talking on Stephanie McMahon's podcast about her grandmother and her influence on her life.

Cathy talks about Oba Femi.

Byron talks about Gunther.

Wade Barrett talked to Gunther.

Wade brings up Gunther's run or retiring wrestlers and being called the Career Killer.

He says he appreciates the title.

Wade brings up how people complain about Gunther gloating over those wins.

Gunther says the fans feel they are their heroes, but they aren't heroes to him.  It is a great feeling to do that.

Wade brings up Gunther's move to Smackdown and his title match.  He asks about the mind games.

Gunther says he doesn't like how Cody does it.  He says Cody has beaten him a few times and he says there is a score to settle.

Wade asks if there is any doubt.

Gunther says he does not waste his time with doubt.  

Wade asks if being in Europe is an advantage.

Gunther says he is a better wrestler.  It will be different in Europe, but he does not care if the people cheer him or boo him.  If the people support him over Cody, Cody cannot handle it.

Michael Cole and Corey Graves are at ringside and they talk about the opening match of the night.
