WWE returns to France once more for Clash in Paris, which looks set to be the location for John Cena’s final European match.
With no more dates scheduled for Europe for the rest of the year, Cena will be in action on the continent one final time, this time against Logan Paul. The Hollywood star and the social media star made their match official earlier in the month when Paul interrupted Cena’s latest farewell address to the fans.
Roman Reigns is also set to be in action as he will take on Bronson Reed. With Reed targeting Reigns and his shoe collection over the past few weeks, The OTC is looking to gain respect and his trainers back from the big Australian, likely en route to an inevitable showdown with World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, who will be putting his title on the line in a 4-way match.
WWE Clash In Paris Predictions
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Nikki Bella For The Women’s Intercontinental Championship
While this is the Nikki Bella comeback tour and an opportunity for the Hall of Famer to mix things up with the stars of the current era, it is unlikely that Bella will be walking out of Paris as the new champion. Lynch looks set to be the champion for a while longer and will add Bella to the list of Hall of Famers that she has beaten, which already includes Trish Stratus and Lita.
Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed
This will be Reigns’ first singles match since the Raw on Netflix premiere back in January. With Reigns on course to face Seth Rollins down the road, this one will be a win for The OTC, likely leading to a match with Bron Breakker over the next few months. Expect to see Breakker get involved, but Reigns will get the victory and likely his shoes back in the process.
Winner: Roman Reigns
Sheamus vs. Rusev In A Donnybrook Match
Get set for a fun, weapons-filled affair filled with hard strikes and all the bells and whistles. With this being the bloe-off match to their rivalry, Rusev need the big win here before moving on to something else, potentially an Intercontinental Championship match. Of course this will be a banger, but it is unlikely that Sheamus will emerge the victor.
Winner: Rusev
Seth Rollins (c) vs. LA Knight vs. CM Punk vs. Jey Uso For The World Heavyweight Championship
While this will be an entertaining affair and is likely to have more interference given that it is no DQ, expect to see Rollins walk away still the champion. With 3 babyfaces against the heel champion and with The Vision allowed to interfere, Rollins will use the match to his advantage to continue the reign, likely until the aforementioned Reigns showdown at the earliest.
Winner: Seth Rollins
The Wyatt Sicks vs. The Street Profits For The WWE Tag Team Championships
A last minute addition to the card and a rare 6th match to take place on a B level PLE, fans in Paris will see if The Street Profits can regain their titles. However, with The Wyatts still reigning on top of the tag team division, it looks unlikely that they will be dethroned here. The faction need a more credible challenger or nother multi-man match before their time as champions comes under threat.
John Cena vs. Logan Paul
Cena is back as a babyface again, is set to take on Brock Lesnar next month and is appearing in front of European fans for the final time. With all this in mind and with Logan Paul able to bounce back from a loss, especially against someone with the calibre of Cena, a big win for Big Match John looks set to be the most logical option. Paul will have his viral moment and there is likely to be some interference, but this is the night for the big Cena babyface win.
Winner: John Cena
WWE Clash in Paris will air live on Peacock in the United States and on Netflix internationally on Sunday, August 31.
