SummerSlam has ended, and WWE fans are now looking forward to the next big event. The company’s next stop is France, with WWE Clash in Paris set for August 31. The energy is already high, and the crowd is expected to be as electric as last year.
Some matches are already confirmed, but WWE is known for surprises. Big twists, shocking betrayals, and title changes could all be on the card. Let’s look at some possible moments that might happen and keep the wrestling world talking.
5. Rhea Ripley Could Become Women’s World Champion
Naomi, the current champion, is reportedly injured and was removed from her title defense against IYO SKY on RAW. She is still scheduled to face Stephanie Vaquer at Clash in Paris, but her injury could change plans.
If Naomi cannot compete, WWE might replace her with Rhea Ripley in the match against Stephanie Vaquer. This could finally be Ripley’s chance to win back the Women’s World Championship and make a huge statement.
4. Brock Lesnar Could Cost John Cena His Match
John Cena is set for his final WWE match in France against Logan Paul. At SummerSlam, Cena lost the Undisputed Title to Cody Rhodes and was attacked by Brock Lesnar right after.
Lesnar could appear again in Paris, interfering in Cena’s match with Logan Paul. This could set up one last blockbuster feud between Cena and Lesnar before Cena retires from in-ring action.
3. Randy Orton Could Turn Heel
Randy Orton teamed with Jelly Roll at SummerSlam but lost to Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul. At the moment, Orton doesn’t have a confirmed match for Clash in Paris.
Given his history and unpredictable nature, WWE could use the event to turn Orton heel. A sudden attack after a match could shock fans and set up fresh rivalries for “The Viper.”
2. Drew McIntyre Could End Cody Rhodes’ Title Reign
On SmackDown after SummerSlam, WWE teased a match between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in Paris. The match itself is huge but there’s room for an even bigger twist.
The Rock could make a surprise appearance and cost Rhodes the title, revealing McIntyre as his new “corporate champion.” This would instantly change the WWE landscape and create one of the biggest storylines of the year.
1. CM Punk Could Win Back the World Heavyweight Championship
Seth Rollins will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso in a Fatal Four-Way match. Roman Reigns was rumored to be involved but isn’t part of the match.
However, WWE could still have Reigns show up to attack Rollins, allowing Punk to get the win. This would give Punk the championship he has been chasing and leave fans buzzing long after the event ends.
