It’s a common announcement for WWE premium events these days: the first hour is going to air live on cable TV, with the rest of the show airing on a premium streaming network.

The WWE announced during Friday Night SmackDown that the first hour of Clash in Italy would air on ESPN. After that, viewers will tune in on ESPN Unlimited in the United States, or on Netflix internationally. The trend first started back at WrestleMania, when the first hour of both nights of WrestleMania aired on cable television.

Clash in Italy airs on May 31 from the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy. The event will start at 8 p.m. local time, which will be 2 p.m. on the East Coast of the United States, 11 a.m. on the West Coast.

The announced card so far:

  • Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther for the Undisputed WWE Championship
  • Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu in Tribal Combat for the World Heavyweight Championship
  • Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship
  • Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi
