After losing the tag titles at WrestleMania 42 to Paige and Brie Bella, Nia Jax and Lash Legend already invoked their rematch clause on the May 1, 2026 episode of SmackDown. Granted, that match had a controversial finish, but they still lost via pinfall.<\/p>\n<p>In the world of pro wrestling, a loss is a loss whether it is controversial or not, so Irresistible Forces should have gotten to the back of the line for a title opportunity, or focused on a singles run for rising star Lash Legend. Nonetheless, it is unlikely that Paige and Brie drop the titles back to the same heel team they dethroned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"max-width: 610px\"><smartframe-embed class=\"smartframe_wp_element\" customer-id=\"8afcbf7a9ed3fd6bf7763b62addc7cf8\" image-id=\"3He6deTnck0z\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 4000px; aspect-ratio: 4000\/2662;\" ><\/smartframe-embed><\/p>\n<p>There are other strong heel teams like Judgment Day and Fatal Influence in the division. They will interfere in this match with a potential babyface save from Bayley and Lyra Valkyria, who got involved after the tag title match between Paige and Brie Bella and Judgment Day on Raw this week.<\/p>\n<p>While that would set up a fatal four-way tag title match at Clash in Italy, <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.wrestlinginc.com\/2164719\/wwe-nikki-brie-bella-vows-return-injury\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nikki Bella will be the key interference and deciding factor<\/a> in this match, as she will return from injury to help Paige and Brie Bella retain the titles. If WWE is going to repeat this tag title match, they need an angle to juice it up, and Nikki Bella is unfortunately the answer to those prayers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Paige &amp; Brie Bella<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Penta (c) vs. Ethan Page &#8211; InterContinental Title<\/h2>\n<p>It is way too soon for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/05\/11\/wwe-saturday-nights-main-event-snme-xliv-adds-huge-intercontinental-title-match\/\" target=\"_self\">Ethan Page to win the Intercontinental Title<\/a>, as he has only been on the main roster for a month. Granted, he is a generic heel who can nefariously bypass the hard work and &#8220;slow burn&#8221; journeys to get what he wants.<\/p>\n<p>However, Penta just won the InterContinental Title from Dominik Mysterio in March and had a historic title defense in a six-man Ladder Match at WrestleMania 42. It would be smarter to continue solidifying his reign. A heel interference from Rusev and a babyface save from Je&#8217;Von Evans is likely due to their involvement in the title picture on Raw. This should set up a fatal four-way mid-card title match at Clash in Italy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Penta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair &amp; Alexa Bliss vs. Jade Cargill, Michin, &amp; B-Fab &#8211; 6-Woman Tag Match<\/h2>\n<p>Jade Cargill already has a rematch clause for the WWE Title against Rhea Ripley at Clash in Italy. Still, she needs to win this match with her baddies, Michin &amp; B-Fab, to not only regain momentum after losing her title to Ripley at &#8216;Mania 42 but also solidify her legitimate, cohesive faction, which is still in its nascent stages of development.<\/p>\n<p>While Michin &amp; B-Fab know their place as sidekicks alongside Captain Cargill, Charlotte already planted seeds of dissension with Alexa Bliss and has an ego clash with Ripley. Although the face team has more star power, they are a recipe for disaster and will have trouble coexisting, as they did against Fatal Influence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Jade Cargill &amp; Her Baddies<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Becky Lynch (c) vs. Sol Ruca &#8211; Non-Title Match<\/h2>\n<p>The WWE trope of a contender defeating the champion in a non-title match to earn a title opportunity at a later date should be as outdated as the legal ban on playing dominoes on a Sunday in Alabama.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Sol Ruca has already lost to Liv Morgan and Iyo Sky since getting called up to the main roster, so going 0-3 here would be harmful to her momentum as a rising star. <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.wrestlinginc.com\/2176138\/wwe-raw-saturday-nights-main-event-becky-lynch-sol-ruca\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sol will clearly win this match to set up an InterContinental title match against Becky Lynch<\/a> at Clash in Italy. There is no way the Irish Lass Kicker, Becky Balboa, is going to miss defending the title on European soil, so this &#8220;non-title match&#8221; will merely be a bridge to that title match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Sol Ruca<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>The Vision (c) vs. The Street Profits &#8211; World Tag Team Title Match<\/h2>\n<p>Once The Vision dethroned the Usos, there were no other threats to those tag titles on Raw until Street Profits returned to action. The Vision only held the tag titles to solidify their faction. They did not even defend them at Mania, as they were wasting time losing with iShowSpeed in a six-man tag match against LA Knight and The Usos.<\/p>\n<p>Since they are using the titles as props merely to enhance their importance on the show, they should lose the titles to a more legitimate tag team that will actually add some prestige to the titles. Furthermore, a\u00a0tag title win for the Street Profits would also be a sentimental way to celebrate the EST of pregnancy,<span>\u00a0<\/span>Bianca Belair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"max-width: 610px\"><smartframe-embed class=\"smartframe_wp_element\" customer-id=\"b0c95bc04383cef69c6b47df872135cf\" image-id=\"WmOBE2iMwhuI\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 3000px; aspect-ratio: 3000\/2139;\" ><\/smartframe-embed><\/p>\n<p>Seth Rollins will undoubtedly be the deciding factor in this match at WWE SNME XLIV. Montez Ford must trust him, so he will help Street Profits win as payback for Vision screwing him in his match against Bron Breakker at Backlash. This should set up a 6-man tag featuring Rollins and Profits vs. Breakker and The Vision at Clash in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>Or, WWE could merely book a singles rematch between Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker so that Profits can return the favor in fending off Vision and thereby helping Rollins get his lick back against Breakker. LA Knight already confirmed on Raw that he is not helping Rollins, so Rollins needs Street Profits more than he thinks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Street Profits<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><strong>Confirmed Match Card for WWE SNME XLIV (5\/23\/26)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"!list-disc ml-5 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">\n<li>WWE Women&#8217;s Tag Team Title Match: Paige &amp; Brie Bella (c) vs. Irresistible Forces<\/li>\n<li>Intercontinental Title Match: Penta (c) vs. Ethan Page<\/li>\n<li>6-Woman Tag Match: Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair &amp; Alexa Bliss vs. Jade Cargill, Michin, &amp; B-FAB<\/li>\n<li>Non-Title Match: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Sol Ruca<\/li>\n<li>World Tag Team Title Match: The Vision (c) vs. Street Profits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>If you\u2019re not down with just that and would like even more\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL4Cbox4S9rfNkyXcSHF0mrBZ9toOgw7JL&amp;si=eLgqLw21E-zQI3Dy\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WWE SNME Predictions<\/a><span>\u00a0from\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@MarkTBKJustice1327\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mark Justice<\/a><span>, check out more of his articles right here on LWOS and subscribe to his popular YouTube channel by clicking\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@MarkTBKJustice1327\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HERE<\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WWE SNME Predictions are here on the road to the Clash in Italy, which will take place at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on May 23, 2026.
