Clash in Paris takes place inside Paris La Défense Arena. It is only the second time WWE has brought a Premium Live Event (PLE) to France and the first time inside the Paris metro area.
This show is historic. It will be the final WWE PLE streaming on Peacock in the U.S. After this, ESPN’s streaming service takes over. International fans get the event live on Netflix. So not only is the card stacked, but it also closes out an entire chapter of how we watch wrestling.
The main show starts at 1 PM CT in the U.S. The Kickoff begins at 11 AM CT.
Here’s the standings from Summer Slam:
| Derick | Drew | Gore | Speck | Ricky Dale |
| 9-3 | 8-4 | 7-5 | 5-7 | 4-8 |
The main event is a Fatal 4-Way for the World Heavyweight Championship. Seth Rollins defends against CM Punk, Jey Uso, and LA Knight. Rollins only has the belt because he cashed in on Punk at SummerSlam. Punk wants revenge. Jey and LA Knight are both fan favorites who could easily sneak a win.
PICK: Seth Rollins
| Ricky Dale | Drew | Derick | Speck |
| Rollins | Rollins | Rollins | Rollins |
John Cena takes on Logan Paul. Cena has called Paul a parasite. Paul has fired back with his usual arrogance. The botched ambush punch on SmackDown turned into a viral moment that only added to the feud. With Cena on his farewell tour and a match with Brock Lesnar looming – expect shenanigans.
PICK: Logan Paul
| Ricky Dale | Drew | Derick | Speck |
| Cena | Logan | Cena | Cena |
Roman Reigns faces Bronson Reed. Reed has been stealing Roman’s sneakers, which is as wild as it sounds. It’s not about titles this time. It’s about pride. Reigns is no longer the Tribal Chief who ran the company. He’s moving into a new stage of his career, and this match could set the tone for it.
PICK: Roman Reigns
| Ricky Dale | Drew | Derick | Speck |
| Roman | Roman | Roman | Roman |
Becky Lynch defends the Women’s Intercontinental Title against Nikki Bella. Their feud is personal. Becky has taken shots at Nikki’s past with John Cena and even crossed into controversial territory that made headlines outside wrestling and I’m sure Speck is no longer fan.
PICK: Becky Lynch
| Ricky Dale | Drew | Derick | Speck |
| Becky | Becky | Becky | Becky |
The Wyatt Sicks defend the tag titles against The Street Profits. I like the contrast here. The Wyatt Sicks are dark and creepy. The Profits bring energy and charisma. Fans online say the Wyatt Sicks’ rise happened too fast, but this is their chance to prove they belong.
PICK: Wyatt Sicks
| Ricky Dale | Drew | Derick | Speck |
| Wyatts | Wyatts | Wyatts | Wyatts |
Sheamus takes on Rusev in a Donnybrook match. It’s no rules, and it’s going to be physical. Rusev has been running his mouth, insulting both Sheamus and the French fans. That alone will make this match feel even hotter in Paris.
PICK: Sheamus
| Ricky Dale | Drew | Derick | Speck |
| Rusev | Sheamus | Sheamus | Rusev |
Clash in Paris is not just another PLE. It ends WWE’s run on Peacock and opens the door to the ESPN streaming era. It also shows how WWE storytelling is changing. Cena and Reigns are both in different phases of their careers. Becky is pushing the envelope with promos that blur the line between reality and fiction. Even production mistakes, like Logan Paul’s missed punch, are now part of the story.
The Paris crowd will make this show feel special. They’re going to boo Rusev out of the building and probably pop for Jey and LA Knight. Add in the business history behind it, and this is one of those shows people will look back on as a turning point.
