WWE Clash in Paris – Start Time, Card, How to Watch, and Predictions

WWE Clash in Paris, an unexpected finale in WWE history, is this weekend in Paris. It is headlined by a massive Fatal 4-Way for the World Heavyweight Championship, but the rest of the five-match card is filled with fun, too. Notably, some great non-title matches highlight the proceedings.

Clash in Paris takes place on Sunday, August 31. If you’re not lucky enough to be in the city of lights this Labor Day weekend, don’t worry. You can still watch live via your favorite WWE streaming platform.

What Time Does WWE Clash In Paris Start?

The Clash in Paris main show begins at 2:00 PM ET on Sunday, August 31. The event is skipping the normal Saturday PLEs because of the holiday weekend. WWE will also have a Clash in Paris pre-show that starts a few hours before the main show goes live.

Depending on where you live, the main card of Clash in Paris will start at:

  • 2 PM Eastern Time
  • 1 PM Central Time
  • 12 PM Mountain Time
  • 11 AM Pacific Time
  • 7 PM in the UK

If you’re living in the United States, you can watch Clash in Paris on Peacock. It will be the final PLE on Peacock, as WWE PLEs move to ESPN starting with September’s Wrestlepalooza.

In all other countries, Netflix is the destination for 2025 Clash in Paris and all other WWE content.

Clash In Paris Card

The following matches are scheduled to take place at WWE Clash in Paris. More might be added on SmackDown, so keep an eye here for updates.

  • Fatal 4-Way for the World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk vs. Jey Uso vs. LA Knight
  • Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Becky Lynch vs. Nikki Bella
  • Good ‘Ol Fashioned Donnybrook Match: Sheamus vs. Rusev
  • Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed
  • John Cena vs. Logan Paul

Predictions

Predictions are for entertainment purposes only. This isn’t advice for you to take and run off to wager thousands of dollars. I’ll probably be wrong anyway. Betting odds come from Bet Online.

Sheamus Vs. Rusev

Betting favorite: Rusev -400

I’m thrilled this match is getting PLE time. I’m also happy that WWE keeps finding inventive ways to describe anything goes matches. Sheamus has done great work for so long, and Rusev’s return has been somewhat underwhelming. He’ll benefit from sharing the Paris spotlight with Sheamus here.

I don’t see a scenario where Rusev doesn’t win this match. He really needs a win for his character to start building some momentum. I’m not sure what’s caused the holdup, but it’s time to give this man a W in a match that should be a blast to watch.

Winner: Rusev

Roman Reigns Vs. Bronson Reed

Betting favorite: Roman Reigns -2000

Reigns is the massive favorite in this match, and he should get the win in Paris. I think this will be a hell of a match, though. Bronson Reed possesses a tremendous amount of overall talent. Roman Reigns is the right guy to help him shine. Like the Sheamus and Rusev match, this one should be incredibly physical.

Bronson Reed wins the best silly thing in WWE right now with the Shoe La Fala. It’s great, and peak WWE. However, he won’t win this match, and he won’t get a third pair of Roman’s sneakers.

Winner: Roman Reigns

Becky Lynch Vs. Nikki Bella For The Women’s Intercontinental Championship

Betting favorite: Becky Lynch -700

This feud seems hastily thrown together, and it feels like WWE is going back to the bag of tricks. Bring the legend out to challenge for one of the current titles in the women’s division so the reigning champ can pick up a solid win. The thing is, Becky Lynch doesn’t need that kind of victory to boost her credibility as champion, so WWE must feel like this can be a strong match.

Lynch is certainly a strong enough worker to bring the best out of Bella. Nikki Bella isn’t exactly a slouch, either, and she should be able to help deliver a strong contest. In the end, The Man is too much, and Becky Lynch retains.

Winner: Becky Lynch

John Cena Vs. Logan Paul

Betting favorite: John Cena -700

If you were to ask me to list matchups that would be a waste of John Cena’s final matches, then you’d get Logan Paul on that list. Until now, Cena’s farewell tour has consisted of dream matchups and trips down memory lane. Logan Paul doesn’t fit in either of those. This feels like WWE is obviously trying to get media attention and create a viral moment.

To that end, they’ll be successful. Logan Paul hasn’t shown a lot of ability to adapt to different styles in the ring, and the match might have clunky moments as a result. As for the victor, John Cena wins this match. I don’t see any scenario where he gets pinned here.

Winner: John Cena

Fatal 4-Way For The World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins Vs. CM Punk Vs. Jey Uso Vs. LA Knight

Betting favorite: Seth Rollins -3000

WWE likes to take newly crowned heel champions and put them in Triple Threat or Fatal 4-Way matches where they appear outnumbered but find a way to sneak out a win. That seems to be exactly what’s happening here.

Seth Rollins is winning this match. I don’t see a scenario where they take the belt off of him this early into his run. Everything appears to be setting up a Rollins vs. Punk match at WrestleMania next year, so look for CM Punk to have an opportunity stolen from him again here.

Winner: Seth Rollins
