How To Watch WWE Clash In Paris - Start Time, Card, Preview
How to watch WWE Clash in Paris today, wherever you are in the world.
Following the huge success of Backlash last year in Lyon, France, WWE returned to Lyon for SmackDown this past Friday ahead of today's Clash in Paris, emanating from the Paris La Défense Arena.
Whereas Paul Levesque tends to run with a five-match card for such Premium Live Events, that SmackDown outing saw the Clash in Paris line-up expanded to six matches, three of which will be championship bouts, including the expected main event where Seth Rollins defends his World Heavyweight Title against three opponents. Elsewhere, we've a Good Ol' Donnybrook battle, and there are a couple of big-name singles matches to round out the Clash card.
So, with that in mind, here's the full WWE Clash in Paris line-up, how we got here, and, more importantly, where you can watch this hotly anticipated PLE today from wherever you are in the world.

WWE Clash In Paris Card
- Good Ol' Fashioned Donnybrook Match: Sheamus vs. Rusev
- Singles Match: Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed
- Singles Match: John Cena vs. Logan Paul
- WWE Tag Team Championship Match: The Wyatt Sicks (Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis) (c) vs. The Street Profits (Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins)
- WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship Match: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Nikki Bella
- WWE World Heavyweight Championship Fatal Four-Way Match: Seth Rollins (c) vs. CM Punk vs. Jey Uso vs. LA Knight
Taking place today at the Paris La Défense Arena, WWE Clash in Paris sees WWE returning to France for a PLE after the white-hot response to last year's Backlash event, where, amongst other highlights, AJ Styles received a reception so thunderous that it legitimately shook the WWE cameras.
In the expected main event, it's Seth Rollins defending his World Heavyweight Championship in a fatal four-way match against CM Punk, Jey Uso, and LA Knight. For Punk, this presents the chance of some revenge after Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to take that title from the Second City Saint mere moments after Punk had defeated Gunther for it at SummerSlam earlier this month. In the case of LA Knight, he's been handed this chance thanks to Seth faking an injury in their match at the most recent Saturday Night's Main Event, with that injury ploy meaning the Megastar got the 1-2-3 over the Visionary at SNME. Then there's Jey Uso, who's fresh off scoring a big win for him and Roman Reigns at SummerSlam, not to mention the fact that Main Event Jey has yet to get a World Heavyweight Title rematch after losing that belt to Gunther back in June.
WWE Clash in Paris will see the Women's Intercontinental Championship on the line, with Becky Lynch defending that prize against WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella. Nikki returned to the ring at Evolution last month, and it didn't take long for the Fearless One to set her sights on the Man and the Women's IC Title, claiming that Becky was too scared to face Bella during the former Diva Champion's previous run with the company. For Lynch, the ever-brash Irish Lass Kicker has wasted no chance to belittle her Clash opponent, including some fun digs about Nikki's ex-fiancé, John Cena.
As for the third title match at Clash in Paris, Friday night saw the Street Profits earn themselves a show at the Wyatt Sicks and the WWE Tag Team Championships. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins picked up a win over the Miz and Carmelo Hayes on SmackDown, which means the Profits now find themselves with a chance to reclaim the same gold that they lost to Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis last month. Of course, the Wyatts have the numbers advantage here, with Uncle Howdy, Nikki Cross, and Erick Rowan all expected to be at ringside, whereas Tez and Dawks will be accompanied to the ring by B-Fab.
Away from those title matches, Clash in Paris has a couple of singles matches brimming with star power and mainstream appeal. First up, John Cena's road to retirement sees him face off against opinion-splitting social media sensation Logan Paul, with the pair having gone from teaming up at Saturday Night's Main Event to being on opposing teams at a SmackDown taping earlier this month, to now going one-on-one in Paris. In the other big-name singles bout, Roman Reigns and Bronson Reed square off on Sunday, as Reigns looks to get some payback on the man who's made a name for himself as the Tribal Thief with his custom Shoe-la Fala made up of Roman's sneakers. Win or lose, this is the outright biggest match of Bronson Reed's career - a singles match against Roman Reigns on a PLE - and here's hoping the hugely talented Vision man seizes this opportunity to steal the show.
Rounding out the WWE Clash in Paris card, it's a heated Gold Ol' Fashioned Donneybrook war that sees Sheamus and Rusev go to battle in what's guaranteed to be a heavy-hitting, nice 'n' snug affair as these two old pals beat the tar out of each other. This rivalry has been a fantastic shot in the arm for Rusev, giving him his first real something to sink his teeth into since returning to WWE in the aftermath of WrestleMania 41, and this one should certainly be a, err, banger.
And remember, you can now get up to 73% off NordVPN, with three additional months free, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
