WWE announces Clash in Paris PLE

WWE will bring a premium live event to Paris, France, for the first time ever this summer with the aptly-named Clash in Paris.

The event is set for the Paris La Defense Arena on Sunday, August 31st. The venue is touted as the largest indoor arena in Europe with a listed capacity of 40,000.

The PLE won’t be the only event held there as the fallout edition of WWE Raw on Monday, September 1st will also emanate from the same venue.

The event follows last year’s successful Backlash PLE from Lyon, France, in May that drew 11,682. WWE head Nick Khan said two weeks ago during a Las Vegas appearance that another PLE would be coming to France this year.

Pre-sale registration is open now with the official on-sale date yet to be announced.

Last December, TKO’s Mark Shapiro said to expect more international PLEs this year coming after a 2024 in which eight out of 12 were hosted outside of the United States (two each in Saudi Arabia and Canada and one each in Australia, France, Scotland and Germany).

To this point, WWE has announced five PLEs for this year with one thus far outside the United States: March’s Elimination Chamber in Canada and the newly-announced Paris show.
