The WWE brought its global spectacle to France this weekend as Paris La Défense Arena hosted Clash in Paris 2025. Fans packed the stadium for a night of championship battles, emotional farewells, and classic in-ring drama.

In the main event, Seth Rollins survived a grueling Fatal 4-Way to keep his World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk, Jey Uso, and LA Knight. The “Visionary” entered the match without allies at ringside but got a surprising assist from his wife, Becky Lynch, ensuring the gold stayed around his waist.

Earlier in the evening, Lynch successfully defended her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Nikki Bella, continuing her dominant run since capturing the title earlier this summer. The Wyatt Sicks also retained their Tag Team Championships with a win over The Street Profits.

John Cena gave fans one last memory in Europe, defeating Logan Paul in what has been billed as his final European premium live event. Cena’s farewell tour has been an emotional ride, and the Paris crowd gave him a thunderous ovation.

Roman Reigns battled Bronson Reed in a heated singles contest, with the Tribal Chief scoring the victory. In one of the night’s most brutal encounters, Sheamus and Rusev tore into each other in a “Good Ol’ Fashioned Donnybrook Match,” with Rusev ultimately standing tall.

The historic event marked WWE’s first major stadium show in France since Backlash Lyon 2022, and it delivered a mix of nostalgia, surprises, and championship drama worthy of the international stage.
