The MetLife Stadium masses in New Jersey were treated to a sensational SummerSlam earlier this month, full of jaw-dropping encounters and shock storylines. Now, the frenzied European WWE fans get their chance to see the world’s best wrestling warriors in action, as the biggest stars in sports entertainment light up the French capital for WWE Clash in Paris on August 31. Of course, if you can’t make it to the Paris La Defence Arena, there’s no need to panic, as all the rampaging ring action will be streamed live all over the globe.

The full Clash in Paris match card has yet to be confirmed, but one standout encounter has been cemented and is guaranteed to boost viewing figures: John Cena vs Logan Paul. The WWE bosses may be welling up at the prospect of seeing Cena hang up his wrestling boots come the end of 2025, but the 48-year-old’s farewell tour has been a huge success for the organisation and continues to keep the TV ratings and arena/stadium attendances rocketing.
Logan Paul, on the other hand, is just at the beginning of his ring career. The YouTubing entrepreneur has been a hit, though, since making his wrestling debut in 2021. It will be a year to the day since a PLE/livestreaming supercard event took place on European soil, with 'Bash in Berlin' being held in Germany on August 31, 2024. European wrestling enthusiasts will be desperate to get their hands on tickets, as this marks the only occasion their WWE heroes will be in PLE action on the continent in 2025.

The WWE stars return to France this summer, following the critical and commercial success of WWE Backlash in Lyon last year, which was the company's first PPV and livestreaming event held in the country. Clash in Paris is being staged at the Paris La Défense Arena, which is a multi-purpose domed stadium in Nanterre, a western suburb of Paris. The arena was opened in 2017 and became the home of the rugby union club, Racing 92.
The venue offers three separate configurations. In its rugby configuration, it has a seating capacity of 30,681. For concerts, that rises to 45,000. There's also a movable stand, which allows the arena to be used for a variety of indoor sports, at various capacities.
The Rolling Stones were the first band to play a concert at Paris La Défense, but many others have followed since. Even Country music/Wrestlemania star, Jelly Roll, is set to play a gig there with Post Malone, three days after Clash in Paris. The venue also famously hosted swimming and water polo events during the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Becky Lynch vs Nikki Bella: The Women's Intercontinental Championship will be on the line when WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella challenges Becky Lynch. The Man has dominated since dethroning Lyra Valkyria for the title, but her post-match beatdowns and vicious verbal jabs have drawn the ire of Bella. The WWE Hall of Famer grabbed a mic in England and laid down the challenge that Lynch accepted, setting the stage for an incredible encounter.
Seth Rollins vs CM Punk vs Jey Uso vs LA Knight: After cashing in his Money in the Bank contract to capture the World Heavyweight Title from CM Punk in “The Ruse of the Century,” Seth Rollins will defend the championship against Punk, Jey Uso, and LA Knight in a Fatal 4-Way Match.
Moments after Punk finally defeated Gunther to claim the World Heavyweight Title at SummerSlam, a supposedly injured Rollins suddenly dropped his crutches, cashed in his contract, and defeated Punk to steal the title.
John Cena vs Logan Paul: John Cena and Logan Paul had been losing tag team partners against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso at Money in the Bank back in June. However, following his SummerSlam defeat to Rhodes, Cena had shaken off his villainous persona and was in a reflective and positive mood about his wrestling career. Logan Paul interrupted his speech in Montreal, and after an exchange of hostilities, the pair decided to settle their differences in a match at Clash in Paris. So Cena’s feud with Brock Lesnar has been put on ice for now anyway.
WWE Clash in Paris: Rumours and Predictions

Drew McIntyre: The Scottish wrestler was involved in two of the big European events last year in Glasgow and Berlin, and he will likely feature once again. He’s had growing animosity with Cody Rhodes recently and may even get a shot at the title held by the ‘American Nightmare’.
Cody Rhodes: The current undisputed WWE Championship title holder featured in all four of the European PLE events in 2023 and 2024, winning all four of his bouts. The Paris crowd will be expecting another big showing from one of the biggest talents in the business.
Damian Priest: Like Cody Rhodes, Damian Priest has a terrific record in recent standout European WWE events, securing wins in Berlin, Glasgow, Lyon in 2024, and in London in 2023. The ‘Punisher’ has an ongoing feud with Aleister Black, which may come to a head sometime soon, maybe even in Paris. Dutch fighter, Black, is sure to get a rousing reception from the European crowd if he does make an appearance.
Nikki Bella: Bella made a second return to the ring back in February, after a three-year absence, as the final entrant in the Women's Royal Rumble. Despite missing out on a direct route to Clash in Paris when only finishing 4th in the Evolution Battle Royal, it would be no surprise if the WWE Hall of Famer is seen in the flesh in the French capital. She and Becky Lynch have been niggling at each other in recent weeks, and that could explode very soon.
