WWE Announces First-Ever Premium Live Event in Paris
WWE, part of TKO Holdings, is set to make a high-profile return to Europe with its first stadium show in almost three years, officially announcing Clash in Paris, scheduled to take place on Aug. 31 at the Paris La Défense Arena. Clash in Paris will be the first-ever WWE Premium Live Event (PLE) held in the French capital, although last year, France made a huge impression on the global wrestling community when the Backlash PLE was hosted in Lyon. The crowd that night was extremely hot and will always be remembered for singing 'Il est vraiment phénomenal,' a popular tune often heard at French soccer matches, for WWE Superstar 'The Phenomenal One' AJ Styles.

The announcement of Clash in Paris follows a series of successful WWE events in Europe, including Glasgow's Clash at the Castle in June and Bash in Berlin in August. In addition to Clash in Paris, WWE will also broadcast Monday Night Raw from the same venue on Sept. 1. This back-to-back event lineup ensures that French fans will have an extended opportunity to see a live WWE show in person.
