WWE Clash In Paris 2025: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

10. The Crowd Is Flatter Than Backlash 2024

As the intro states, Lyon was hyped for Backlash last year.

They proved to be one of the most memorable crowds of 2024. Their volume, passion and general spark set a new bar for these international PLEs. So, WWE management have every right to go in expecting Paris to be the same. They'll likely even bust out those old noise graphics measuring just how loud the French capital wants to get for major moments on the card.

Here's where reality bites: Not all pro wrestling crowds are created equal. Scotland tried but failed to match the energy of Lyon for Clash At The Castle last year, and it's hardly like Saudi Arabian PLEs ever carry a red hot atmosphere. They've improved over the years, but they're not on par with what happened in Puerto Rico for Backlash 2023 or in France for the following year's event.

It’d be a bit of a nightmare if this one didn’t live up to the hype. No pressure, catch fans! You'll be expected to remain loud for the entire duration of the night though. That could be challenging, but at least the star power is spread evenly throughout this PLE. One minute, people will be watching Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns, the next, they'll seeing top names like Seth Rollins, CM Punk and John Cena.

There's a lot to like about the way Triple H has dealt his hand for Sunday, but hopefully WWE's roster gives Paris a show worthy of their passion and noise. It'd be awful if this had a house show atmosphere rather than feeling like some super-important stop on the road.

Over to you again, France.
