WWE Clash in Paris 2025: Rollins Retains Amid Shocking Interference

Paris, France - Monday, September 1, 2025

In front of an electric crowd at the Paris La Défense Arena, WWE’s Clash in Paris 2025 unfolded Sunday with title defenses, surprise alliances, and stirring bouts that left fans buzzing.

The evening opened with Roman Reigns overcoming “Big” Bronson Reed in a hard-fought encounter, as Reigns ultimately delivered a decisive spear to seal the victory. Next, The Wyatt Sicks successfully defended the WWE Tag Team Championship against The Street Profits, retaining their titles after interference reshaped the contest.

In a high-octane Donnybrook match, Sheamus forced Rusev to submit with a shillelagh-assisted Accolade, marking only the second submission loss in Rusev’s career. The undercard concluded with John Cena teaching Logan Paul a lesson in respect, as Cena secured a hard-earned win with a trio of Attitude Adjustments in what many hailed as an instant classic.

The penultimate contest saw Becky Lynch retain the Women’s Intercontinental Championship over Nikki Bella in a competitive bout that showcased Lynch’s veteran savvy.

The night’s crescendo came in a chaotic Fatal 4-Way World Heavyweight Championship match. Champion Seth Rollins battled CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso, trading momentum throughout. Just as victory seemed poised for Punk, Becky Lynch stormed the ring to deliver a sudden low blow, enabling Rollins to pin Punk and preserve his title in one of the most controversial finishes of the year.

The fallout from Lynch’s intervention reverberates across WWE, as Rollins’ alliance with his wife deepens faction intrigue. With no titles changing hands, all champions left Paris standing-but questions loom over the Vision’s dominance and which rivalries will ignite next as WWE builds toward its fall season.
