World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is set to make history by hosting its first-ever Premium Live Event (PLE) in the French capital with WWE Clash in Paris on Sunday, August 31, 2025. The highly anticipated event will take place at the state-of-the-art Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, France, promising a spectacular night of sports entertainment for fans across Europe and around the globe. This marks a significant expansion of WWE’s international presence, following the success of previous European events like Backlash in Lyon, France, in May 2024.
Event Details: Date, Time, and Venue
WWE Clash in Paris is scheduled for Sunday, August 31, 2025. The main card is set to commence at 2:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) / 11:00 AM Pacific Time (PT) in the United States, which translates to 8:00 PM local time in Paris, France, and 7:00 PM British Summer Time (BST) in the United Kingdom. The venue for this monumental occasion is the Paris La Défense Arena, renowned for its impressive capacity and modern amenities, and it is expected to be a sold-out affair.
The Undercard: A Stacked Match Card
Clash in Paris boasts an impressive lineup featuring a mix of championship contests and highly personal rivalries, drawing talent from both the Raw and SmackDown brands. The event’s centerpiece is a massive Fatal Four-Way Match for the World Heavyweight Championship, where current champion Seth Rollins will defend his title against a formidable trio of challengers: Jey Uso, CM Punk, and LA Knight. This contest is laden with history and animosity, promising a chaotic and unpredictable bout.
In a highly anticipated singles match, wrestling icon John Cena will go head-to-head with social media personality-turned-wrestler Logan Paul. This bout carries significant weight as it is reportedly John Cena’s final in-ring appearance in France as part of his farewell tour before his retirement at the end of 2025. The clash between these two stars from different eras is expected to be a major draw.
Further adding to the stacked card, Roman Reigns is slated to face the powerful Bronson Reed. Their rivalry has been building, with Reed establishing himself as a dominant force. In the women’s division, Becky Lynch will put her Women’s Intercontinental Championship on the line against WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella. This generational clash has already seen intense confrontations, setting the stage for a memorable title defense.
The WWE Tag Team Championship will also be contested as The Wyatt Sicks (Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis) defend their newly won titles against The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford). Additionally, Sheamus will go one-on-one with Rusev in a “Good Ol’ Fashioned Donnybrook” match, promising a physical, no-disqualification encounter.
