WWE Clash in Paris 2025, the follow-up to the first-ever two-night SummerSlam, will look to continue WWE’s impressive streak of red hot international pay-per-views.
After Elimination Chamber in Toronto and Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, WWE’s latest overseas event in Paris will mark the third of four major international shows in 2025. In October, WWE will once again go overseas with Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia, with that event moving from its traditional location in Saudi Arabia.
But first? The plane stops in France, where John Cena challenging Logan Paul is among the biggest attractions for WWE Clash in Paris 2025.
WWE Clash in Paris 2025 Start Time and Streaming Info
WWE Clash in Paris 2025 will air at 2 p.m. EST (1 p.m. CST) on Sunday, Aug. 31. It will stream exclusively on Peacock in the United States and is available on Netflix internationally.
The event will also mark the final WWE Premium Live Event on Peacock before PLEs transition to ESPN starting with next month’s WrestlePalooza.
WWE Clash in Paris 2025 Match Card
WWE Clash in Paris 2025 has just six matches, continuing WWE’s recent trend of small match cards. Here is the full card for the event in Paris La Défense Arena:
- John Cena vs. Logan Paul
- Fatal 4-Way for the World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins (c) vs. CM Punk vs. Jey Uso vs. LA Knight
- Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed
- WWE Tag Team Championship: The Wyatt Sicks (c) vs. The Street Profits
- Good Ol’ Fashioned Donnybrook Match: Sheamus vs. Rusev

WWE had originally scheduled a Women’s World Championship match between Stephanie Vaquer and Naomi, but Naomi announced her pregnancy on Monday Night Raw two weeks ago and was forced to vacate the title.
WWE Clash in Paris 2025 Betting Odds
WWE Clash in Paris 2025 betting odds from BetOnline show some clear favorites, but the card is less predictable than the typical WWE pay-per-view.
John Cena (-700) vs. Logan Paul (+400)
After an epic fail of a heel run, Cena is back to his babyface roots for the final few months of his legendary career, and his Clash in Paris match with Paul is a stepping stone to another major match in just a few weeks.
Cena is expected to face Brock Lesnar at the returning WrestlePalooza in September, a special event that could be airing on ESPN. WWE will undoubtedly want Cena to enter that marquee bout, perhaps the last-ever Cena vs. Lesnar match, with as much momentum as possible.
That makes a Cena win all but a certainty, though there’s an outside chance that Lesnar shows up at Clash in Paris to cost Cena the match instead.
Fatal 4-Way for the World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins (-3000)vs. LA Knight (+600) vs. CM Punk (+900) vs. Jey Uso (+1000)
Rollins just won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by cashing in on Punk at SummerSlam earlier this month, so there’s, at best, a slim chance that he loses at WWE Clash in Paris.
This could have easily been another singles match between Rollins and Punk or even Rollins and Knight, but making it a Fatal 4-Way gives WWE the opportunity to protect stars like Punk and/or Knight in defeat. Though Uso was recently holding this very same World Heavyweight title, he’s positioned as the biggest underdog here.
Expect this WWE Clash in Paris title match to end with Uso getting pinned by Rollins, likely after Rollins steals the victory following a GTS from Punk or a BFT from Knight.
Roman Reigns (-1500) vs. Bronson Reed (+600)
Bronson Reed is typically the member of The Vision who “eats” the pin to protect Bron Breakker and Rollins, and at WWE Clash in Paris, he’s facing one of WWE’s most protected stars in Reigns.
Although Reed has been doing tremendous character work during this brief rivalry with Reigns and could really use a notable win, Reigns is just 2-2 in televised matches this year. If he’s going to continue to be booked as a special attraction, Reigns likely isn’t going to lose singles matches to upper midcarders.
That’s what Reed is, so if the Australian star pulls off the upset at WWE Clash in Paris, that would be one of the most shocking outcomes of 2025.
WWE Tag Team Championship: The Wyatt Sicks (c) vs. The Street Profits
With The Street Profits vs. The Wyatt Sicks being a last-minute addition to Clash in Paris, there are no odds available for the match, which is, truthfully, a toss-up.
The Wyatt Sicks are the ones who dethroned The Street Profits to win the tag titles, and that decision was a bit of a head-scratcher. At the time and even now, The Street Profits are the hottest tag team on SmackDown by a considerably wide margin. They never should have lost the titles to begin with, in large part because The Wyatt Sicks’ supernatural gimmick makes them difficult to book as champs.
If WWE wants to continue to the recent hot streak of the SmackDown tag team division, then putting the titles back on The Street Profits is the right call.
Good Ol’Fashioned Donnybrook Match: Sheamus (+200) vs. Rusev (-300)
The feud between Sheamus and Rusev has been relegated entirely to WWE Raw thus far, but at WWE Clash in Paris, they will finally get a bout in front of an international crowd that is much more likely to appreciate their hard-hitting in-ring styles.
Both Sheamus and Rusev are in similar positions on the card, as they are, much like Reed, solid upper midcarders. But Rusev really hasn’t gotten rolling since returning to WWE earlier in 2025, and though Sheamus is one of WWE’s most beloved legends, Rusev could use the win more.
The widespread expectation is that these two gargantuans will have a classic slug fest at Clash in Paris, but Rusev should leave with the victory.
Women’s Intercontinental Championship Match: Becky Lynch (-1500) vs. Nikki Bella (+600)
WWE has sneakily developed a solid upper midcard rivalry between Becky Lynch, who retained her title at SummerSlam, and Nikki Bella, who instantly reassumed her role as a top fan favorite.
If Lynch had won the Intercontinental Championship several months ago, Bella would likely have a good chance of winning the title. But Lynch just won the title back, is doing strong heel work and looks to be in line for an extended championship reign.
Although Bella could very well be the one to dethrone Lynch down the road, that probably isn’t in the cards at WWE Clash in Paris.
