WWE CLASH IN PARIS Final Match Card, How To Watch, And New Plans For Women's World Champsionship Revealed

Ahead of this weekend's Clash in Paris PLE, we're breaking down when and where you'll be able to watch the show that comes to us from Paris, France. We also have a Women's World Championship update...

WWE's next PLE, Clash in Paris, takes place in the Paris La Defense Arena in Paris, France, this Sunday, August 31. For those of you in the U.S., you'll be able to watch the show on Peacock before WWE's PLEs move to ESPN with next month's Wrestlepalooza.

For everyone else, Clash in Paris will stream live on Netflix. If you happen to be residing in France, the show will have an 8pm start time; that's 7pm in the UK, and 2pm ET/11am PT in the U.S. 

As for the card, we're getting the expected five matches. It's highly unlikely that anything we be added during SmackDown, and there's only going to be two championship defences on Sunday. 

Since Triple H took over WWE creative, five matches have become the norm for shows like this one. However, it's disappointing to see so many of those mid-level belts fall by the wayside yet again. 

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Seth Rollins vs. Jey Uso vs. LA Knight vs. CM Punk

John Cena vs. Logan Paul

Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed

Good Ol' Fashioned Donnybrook Match
Sheamus vs. Rusev

WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship Match
Becky Lynch vs. Nikki Bella

It's a solid, if somewhat unspectacular lineup. Original plans called for the winner of Naomi vs. Iyo Sky to defend the Women's World Championship against Stephanie Vaquer at Clash in Paris. Unfortunately, that match never happened due to Naomi's pregnancy. 

During last night's RAW, General Manager Adam Pearce told Vaquer that she would no longer be competing at Clash in Paris, but will get a title match with a new opponent somewhere down the line. Many fans have expressed disappointment with the decision and questioned why WWE hasn't looked for a way to get the title on her now. 

As always, make sure you keep checking back here for updates on Clash in Paris as we have them.

Honestly... I think it's kind of crap...
2 title matches at a PPV?

I mean all the titles not being challenged for:
- WWE Champion
- Women's world championship (currently vacant)
- WWE women's championship
- Intercontinental Championship
- United States Championship
- Women's United States Championship
- World Tag Team Championships
- WWE Tag Team Championships
- WWE Women's tag tean championships...

I can just about understanding now having them at every PPV, as you wouldn't get anything else, but it just seems like the tag teams championships are not cared about at all.

@DevilsDreams - One would expect a much better card for the premier event they have in Europe.

There should at least be an idea to keep cycling them so they all get chances in PPVs semi-regularly. As you say, the tag team belts in particular just get lost in shuffle consistently.

This would have been a great place to have a couple of women fight for Naomi's vacated belt, even if it's just a transitional champion Asuka or Rhea could easily fill that spot for a month or two, or letting someone like Kairi that wouldn't normally get a shot have a short go at it. There's no reason to leave that belt vacant for 2 months, since nobody's getting crowned outside of a PPV.

@1stDalek - 100% agree on both your points!

I profess that I don't watch Raw and Smackdown every week religiously, at the end of the day it's what 5-6 hours of programming now?? but I tend to keep up on the news and see the highlights, but yeah, a vacant women's title...

I just don't understand some of the thinking atm...
You've got Cody as the WWE Champion, he's off filming Street Fighter seemingly.

Becky Lynch as the Intercontinental champion... just why?? she's a multi-time women's champion, why step down to the intercontinental title when there are so many others on the roster that could use that opportunity? especially now if we're getting Seth and Becky Vs Punk and AJ! with the initial champion Lyra Valkyria feeling forgotten.

Giulia brought up to the main roster, given the US title and now barely used it seems... maybe on a few backstage segments?

Sami Zayn... back down to the mid card again... they seem to keep trying to position him as an "underdog" which doesn't really feel like it fits him anymore, I think he was a pretty successful NXT Champion, but they aren't willing to pull the trigger on him being the main champion on either brand...

Yeah the tag team division as a whole... You had the heel turn of the New Day... who barely seem to get featured or have matches anymore...
They split up Rey Fenix and Penta, just to stick Fenix with Andrade..?
Angel and Burto... the new JOB squad... well actually probably closer to the Mean Street Posse at this point.
The Motor City Machine Guns!!! a huge signing in my eyes! one I thought would electrify the tag team division... I'm not even sure if they've had a match recently...
Pretty Deadly is it? the new Billy and Chuck?
Austin Theory and Grayson Waller... are they even still together? there was so much potential for a face turn for Austin...
DIY, The Creed brothers, the Street profits, the "new catch republic" who I don't think we've seen at all for a while now?

I get not everyone can be showcased all the time, and maybe I'm remembering it nostalgically, but I swear that during the attitude era and a bit after, the tag team division was absolute fire!
