Nikki Bella reflects on WWE Clash in Paris match

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Nikki Bella reflected on her Paris experience on social media.

Bella wrote on X Sunday that while she came up short in her match against Becky Lynch at Clash in Paris, she wanted to thank her supporters for helping her getting through it all.

“There’s nothing like my Bella Army!! Your love and support gets me through it all!! Fell short tonight but the beauty in that is it’s only the beginning,” she wrote. “Felt so great being out there like that again! Love you all so much! And Paris cheers or boos you all are such an amazing crowd!! Thank you!!”

After being gone from WWE for three years, Bella made a surprise return at this year’s Royal Rumble. She returned at Evolution to build a match with Liv Morgan, but once Morgan was injured instead pivoted towards the 20-woman battle royal on the show. She came up short, as Stephanie Vaquer emerged as the winner.

On the Raw following SummerSlam, Bella was seen talking amicably with IYO SKY when Asuka came in and offered to be in SKY’s corner for her upcoming World title match at Wrestlepalooza. Bella didn’t seem to appreciate being cut off by Asuka.

John Cena opens up on tributes seen during WWE Clash in Paris match

Posted on by Bryan Rose

John Cena opened up about the homages seen during his match at WWE Clash in Paris.

During the match, several tribute spots took place. At one point in the match, Paul took down Cena with Dolph Ziggler’s zig zag. John Cena, meanwhile, did a Styles Clash in honor of AJ Styles and an angel’s wings, a move popularized by Christopher Daniels. Cena commented during the Clash in Paris post-show that it was not only about paying homage, but also about entertaining the fans.

“I will say that I’ve had a lot of opponents over the years, and with eight appearances left, I know I’m not gonna be able to wrestle everybody who was influential in my career, but I think you saw tonight, the best way I can say thank you to some of those people who affected my career is kinda pay homage by maybe taking some risks and doing some stuff that I don’t normally do out there,” he explained. “I gotta shout out AJ. But, I’m just saying, hopefully I can do more of that and take my game to a different level and in turn, do what we’re supposed to do and that’s to entertain the fans.”

With his victory over Logan Paul, Cena now has only eight dates remaining. His last match is scheduled to take place on the December 13 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Becky Lynch comments on WWE Clash in Paris ending

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Becky Lynch is making one thing clear following WWE Clash in Paris.

Following Sunday’s PLE in France, Lynch took to social media to post a picture of herself with Seth Rollins. The caption reads simply “We run this business.”

The shock ending to Clash in Paris saw CM Punk going for a second GTS when suddenly a masked figure hit the ring, low blowing Punk. They soon revealed themselves to be Lynch. The interference allowed Rollins to recover quickly, pinning Punk after a stomp to retain the World Championship. The closing moments of the show saw Rollins and Lynch celebrate together, seemingly indicating that their off-screen relationship was now on-screen as well.

Earlier in the show, Lynch defeated Nikki Bella to retain the Women’s Intercontinental title. Both Lynch and Rollins cemented their heel turns at the same time, with Rollins aligning himself with Paul Heyman at WrestleMania 41 and Becky Lynch turning against Lyra Valkyria after they lost the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles on the Raw following WrestleMania.

MJF comments on John Cena vs. Logan Paul match during WWE Clash in Paris

Posted on by Bryan Rose

MJF has thrown another barb at Hangman Page.

During the John Cena vs. Logan Paul match at Clash in Paris on Sunday, Paul took out Cena with Hangman Page’s buckshot lariat, a move he’s used a few times in WWE. This time around, MJF took the time to react to the spot on social media.

“Wayyyyyyyyy better than the crooked cowboys,” he commented.

The rivalry between Hangman Page and MJF has heated up over the summer, culminating with MJF challenging Page for the AEW World Championship at All In. He was unsuccessful, but did manage to keep his All In title shot contract meaning he is still eligible to cash his contract for a future World title match. Tony Khan, however, recently made it clear that any cash-in would need to take place at least a week prior, eliminating the surprise element.

In a promo following Forbidden Door, MJF said he regretted not lighting Mark Briscoe on fire and blamed Briscoe for his loss. He said that once he got through with Briscoe, he would be going after Hangman and the AEW World title once again.

New stipulation match added, Roman Reigns issues challenge for WWE Clash in Paris

Posted on by Bryan Rose

 Roman Reigns wants Bronson Reed in Paris.

The end of Raw saw Reigns make his return, taking out members of The Vision to make the save for Jey Uso, who was wrestling Breakker in an extreme rules match. Reigns speared Breakker to attempted to flee once Reigns’ music hit and also took out Bronson Reed, who attempted to interfere in the match. The distractions allowed Uso to pick up the win after hitting a superkick on Breakker and splashed him through the table.

Reigns told Reed as he was retreating that he’d see him in Paris. Reed agreed to the match that as of now, hasn’t been officially announced.

Meanwhile, one match that was made official is Sheamus taking on Rusev in a Good ‘Ol Fashioned Donnybrook match. Jackie Redmond had attempted to interview Sheamus during Raw, but once again saw himself fighting Rusev. Officials ended up breaking up the brawl, with GM Adam Pearce very loudly announcing they would settle things once and for all in a Good ‘Ol Fashioned Donnybrook match in Paris.

Here is the updated card for WWE Clash in Paris:

WWE Clash in Paris (August 31):

  • World Championship: Seth Rollins defends against Jey Uso, LA Knight, CM Punk
  • John Cena vs. Logan Paul
  • Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed (not yet official)
  • Good ‘Ol Fashioned Donnybrook match: Sheamus vs. Rusev
