WWE has been taking bigger shows to Europe more frequently over the past few years. Turns out fans across the pond are hungry for live wrestling, and they’ve been demonstrating that via the way they react during those shows. After a raucous Backlash in Lyon last year, WWE has made the wise decision to return to France this summer, giving the country its very own PLE, Clash In Paris. Below you’ll find everything you need to know about the show, including where to watch it and every match announced so far.
When Is WWE Clash In Paris 2025?
Clash In Paris will bring the curtain down on what has been a very busy summer for WWE, taking place on August 31, 2025. Since the show will go down outside of the US, those of you in North America, in particular, will need to take note of the PLE’s altered start time. Beginning at 8 pm local time, that means Clash In Paris’s main card will start at 2 pm EST. An early Sunday afternoon PLE for those on the east coast, and some late morning live wrestling if you live on the west coast.
How Can I Watch WWE Clash In Paris 2025?
Even though Clash In Paris will start at an unconventional time, you’ll still need to head to the same platforms to watch it live. That’s Peacock in the US and Netflix in most other parts of the world. You also don’t need to worry about the ESPN of it all just yet. WWE has struck a deal with ESPN for the platform to host its PLEs in the US, but that deal doesn’t kick in until 2026.
Where Is WWE Clash In Paris 2025 Taking Place?
The name kind of gives the game away on this one. As it implies, Clash In Paris will indeed take place in Paris. That’s Paris, France by the way, not Paris, Texas in case there was any confusion. The Paris La Defense Arena will host the PLE, a venue that’s capable of holding up to 45,000 fans. If you want to be one of those fans, tickets are still available at Ticketmaster.
Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk vs. Jey Uso vs. LA Knight For The World Heavyweight Championship
CM Punk had his world shattered at SummerSlam by a man who has been doing everything he can to make his working life a living hell since he returned to WWE – Seth Rollins. Rollins pretended to be injured so that he could pull off a surprise cash-in on Punk, ripping away the World Heavyweight Title that he’d won moments earlier.
Lucky for Punk, he hasn’t fallen to the back of the contender queue. Unlucky for Punk, he won’t have Rollins all to himself at Clash in Paris. The former World Champion will have to settle for a Fatal 4-Way, in which LA Knight and Jey Uso will get title shots, too. My gut tells me Rollins will play the numbers and depart France with his Heavyweight Title reign intact.
John Cena vs. Logan Paul
John Cena doesn’t have many matches left. After the end of this year, his wrestling career will be over, which makes these last few matches some of the most coveted spots in WWE history for those who want to face him one last time. WWE deciding that Logan Paul deserves one of those spots isn’t sitting well with a lot of fans for all those reasons, but like it or not, it’s happening.
After spending the last few months denouncing fans, the Cena we know and love is back, hence WWE believes this is the right time to pit him against Paul. The good news for those of you who think this is a waste of one of Cena’s final matches is that the 17-time WWE Champion will almost certainly win. That’s unless Brock Lesnar makes the trip to Paris and scuppers Cena’s plans, of course.
