WWE Clash in Paris 2025 – Predictions
La ville des lumières, le pays du romantisme, la terre de ce fameux putois lubrique.
Eh oui, mesdames et messieurs, c’est l’heure de WWE Clash in Paris, et nous, l’équipe de Talent Alone, sommes de retour comme à chaque grand pay-per-view de catch, pour prédire chaque match de la carte dans notre concours de prédictions annuel afin de savoir qui devrait vraiment aller prendre l’air. Après AEW Forbidden Door, Mike a signé une performance de 7-2 pour un total annuel de 35-12, tandis que je prépare mon retour avec une soirée à 5-4, portant mon total à 25-22 jusqu’à présent en 2025.
Avec le passé derrière nous, nous nous préparons pour nos prochaines prédictions, sans aucune chance pour moi de revenir cette fois-ci, car WWE Clash in Paris propose pas moins de six matchs au programme. Sérieusement, quelqu’un a-t-il dit à Tony Khan qu’un pay-per-view n’a pas besoin de mettre chaque ceinture en jeu?
Passons aux prédictions.
WWE Clash in Paris Predictions
John Cena vs Logan Paul
ADAM: In what world do people think that John Cena is gonna lose to some blond punk who made his money elsewhere and is in WWE coasting on his family name to unearned success? Oh fuck…
LOGAN PAUL
MIKE: Logan Paul has a rare ability to absorb losses because he’s already a star and caught on in the ring very quickly. There’s no harm in having Cena get the win now that he’s back to being the Saturday cartoon superhero babyface we are accustomed to. It also won’t hurt to have Cena look strong heading into his showdown with Brock Lesnar. How do you say “problematic” in French?
JOHN CENA
WWE World Heavyweight Championship:
Seth Rollins (c) vs CM Punk vs Jey Uso vs LA Knight
MIKE: The only downside to Rollins winning the belt is that it feels like a forgone conclusion that he’s going to hold it for a long time. Not a Roman Reigns-length title run, but there’s no way he drops it before Mania. This match will probably be really good, but there’s no mystery in the outcome.
SETH ROLLINS
ADAM: This feels like the only lock on the card. I don’t know if we’re holding off on Punk/Rollins until Mania, but I see no way in the belt flipping until those two square up one-on-one. I can see this being a situation where Jey Uso or LA Knight coast Punk the match, and that’ll distract us for a few months.
SETH ROLLINS
Good Ol’ Fashioned Donnybrook Match:
Sheamus vs Rusev
ADAM: According to Google Gemini, “A Good Ol’ Fashioned Donnybrook is Mark Wahlberg’s brother, who is known for being a founding member of the boy band New Kids on the Block.”
Thanks, Google Gemini! Such a helpful little robot. I would say give the win to the hometown worker here, but uuuuuuh….
RUSEV
MIKE: Rusev hasn’t stood out since he returned to the company, but at least he’s getting booked, so that’s an upgrade from his last promotion. Being a proud Irishman, Sheamus losing a Donnybrook would be as ridiculous as Rusev losing a Bulgarian Beat Off match. It’s just not happening.
SHEAMUS
Roman Reigns vs Bronson Reed
MIKE: You know those times where something cool or funny happens and then people keep harping on it or pointing it out until it’s not cool anymore? That’s what happened with Bronson Reed and Roman Reigns’ shoes. You could sit here making the tired “top guy should put over young guy” argument, but I don’t see the point. Sometimes, one wrestler is so strong that the other just putting up a good fight before losing is enough to get a boost from the match.
ROMAN REIGNS
ADAM: Big opportunity for Bronson Reed (37 years old) here to put up a big performance against an all-time great on a big stage. Unfortunately, the only real intrigue here is that Bron Breakker isn’t on the card, and that could be the signal for something.
ROMAN REIGNS
WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship:
Becky Lynch (c) vs Nikki Bella
ADAM: Does anyone else miss Lyra Valkyria vs Becky Lynch? I feel like we could have gotten another 45-50 PLEs in a row.
I’m glad something came out of Evolution, but I don’t know if I’m giving much of a chance to Nikki Bella here.
BECKY LYNCH
MIKE: I don’t wanna be mean, but I’m going to be. I have zero interest in this match. Becky Lynch is a bland, boring heel, and every time Nikki Bella is on the TV screen, I start looking for the remote. Lynch is better in every facet of the game and is an actual Star—no reason for her to lose the belt here.
BECKY LYNCH
ADAM: I think Mike is just upset about the Ozzy Osborne crack.
WWE World Tag Team Championships:
The Wyatt Sicks (c ) vs The Street Profits
MIKE: Oooooh it’s Wyatt Sicks. They’re spooooooky. I’d like to see the profits win here, but it feels like WWE is more focused on the Wyatt Sicks in order to justify all the time and effort they put into building the group up. If that’s the case, and the profits are going to do the job, can we start working on a singles run for Montez Ford finally?
THE WYATT SICKS
ADAM: Yeah, the Street Profits have hung around a long, long time, and I think both Dawkins and Ford have a shot at a real chance at a solo run. If not now, when?
THE WYATT SICKS
Et voilà : six matchs, deux désaccords. Adam ne réduira pas l’écart lors de ce PLE, mais il gagne un sursis et pose une nouvelle brique au mausolée dans lequel Mike ne se rend même pas compte qu’il est déjà enfermé. Profitez bien de Clash in Paris, et on se retrouve la prochaine fois!
