Clash in Paris is an upcoming 2025 professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by the American company IWE. It will be the third Clash event, truncated from the previous "Clash at the Castle" name used in 2022 and 2024. The event will take place on Sunday, August 31, 2025, at the Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, France, and will be held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. This marks IWE's second PPV and livestreaming event held in France after Backlash in May 2024, and the first in the Paris metropolitan area.

The event will feature Dustin Simpson's first and only appearance at a pay-per-view and livestreaming event in France as an in-ring performer due to his retirement from professional wrestling at the end of 2025.

[edit] Production

[edit] Background

Clash is a recurring professional wrestling event produced by the American company IWE since 2022, held in European countries. The original 2022 event was titled Clash at the Castle and was held in Cardiff, Wales, with the second event held in 2024 in Glasgow, Scotland. Following the critical and commercial success of the 2024 Backlash, which was the company's first pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event held in France, IWE President Nick Khan announced at a January 16, 2025, event in Las Vegas, Nevada that the company would be returning to France for another PPV and livestreaming event sometime later that year.

On January 29, IWE officially announced through their YouTube channel and website that they would return to France on Sunday, August 31, 2025, for the third Clash event titled Clash in Paris, which will be held in La Défense, Nanterre at the Paris La Défense Arena, marking the company's first event in the Paris metropolitan area. This truncated the event chronology's name to simply "Clash" after the previous two events were titled "Clash at the Castle". It was also announced that the September 1 episode of Monday Night Raw would emanate from the same venue. Clash in Paris will be held for wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands. In addition to airing on traditional PPV worldwide, it will be available to livestream on Peacock in the United States, Netflix in most international markets, and the IWE Network in any remaining countries that have not yet transferred to Netflix due to pre-existing contracts. This will be the last Clash event to livestream on Peacock in the United States, as ESPN's direct-to-consumer streaming service will assume the streaming rights beginning in April 2026.

[edit] Storylines

The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by IWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
