Clash in Paris is fast approaching, and as the card continues taking shape, Dave Meltzer has revealed three matches he expects to be added to the PLE in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
The show is set to take place on Sunday, August 31, in the LDLC Arena in Lyon-Decines, France. We have tonight and next Friday's SmackDown to look forward to before then, along with Monday's RAW (all of which are taking place across Europe).
With WWE typically only putting five or six matches on these PLEs, if Meltzer is correct, we can expect this to be the final card for the event:
CONFIRMED
World Heavyweight Championship Match
Seth Rollins (c) vs. Jey Uso vs. CM Punk vs. LA Knight
John Cena vs. Logan Paul
Good Ol' Fashioned Donnybrook Match
Sheamus vs. Rusev
Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed
RUMORED
Undisputed WWE Championship Match
Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
United States Championship Match
Solo Sikoa (c) vs. Sami Zayn
Women's Intercontinental Championship
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Nikki Bella
Original plans called for Naomi to put the Women's World Championship on the line against Stephanie Vaquer at Clash in Paris. However, the former recently vacated the title upon learning that she's expecting a baby with fellow WWE Superstar Jimmy Uso.
"I found out Sunday [August 10] on the road," Naomi recently said of her unexpected pregnancy news. "In my hotel room. I had been feeling a little different, a little weird. I wanted to take a test to make sure and rule that out. Not thinking because it’s been a long journey with fertility issues that I’ve had. I really didn’t think it was possible."
"Earlier in our relationship, before I debuted as a Funkadactyl, I had an oophorectomy, which is the removal of my right ovary," she said of her past medical issues. "In 2020, we went through another major surgery, which is a myomectomy, the removal of fibroids. I had tons, and big ones."
Naomi underwent a lengthy surgery that year, which ended up being more complicated and severe than expected. As a result, she and Jimmy had concluded that having a baby was off the table for them. "On top of being 37 and only having one ovary, we thought that, naturally, I couldn’t any more," she explained.
"I found out Sunday, called him, had to go to work," Naomi said of learning the news while being pushed as Women's World Champion. "Stressed about having to tell work because of where I am right now as the champion. Of all times."
