TOP STORIES TODAY
The main event of Clash in Paris 2025 saw Seth Rollins retain his World Heavyweight Championship in controversial fashion, with an unexpected new ally by his side. With Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker ejected earlier in the night after attacking Roman Reigns, Rollins entered the Fatal Four-Way without the usual backup from The Vision. As the match reached its climax, CM Punk had Rollins on the ropes, delivering a GTS and setting up for a second to secure the title. With LA Knight and Jey Uso wiped out at ringside, the stage seemed set for Punk’s long-awaited triumph.
Instead, Rollins revealed his contingency plan. A hooded figure appeared and blindsided Punk with a devastating low blow, allowing Rollins to capitalize and escape with the championship intact. The shocking reveal came moments later, it was none other than Becky Lynch, Rollins’ wife, who officially aligned herself as the fourth member of The Vision. The surprise twist not only saved Rollins’ title reign but also introduced a seismic new wrinkle to WWE’s most dominant faction.
 Roman Reigns picked up a hard-fought victory over Bronson Reed at Clash in Paris 2025, but the night ended in shocking fashion when The Tribal Chief was brutally assaulted. Following his win, Reigns confronted Paul Heyman, seeking payback for his betrayal at WrestleMania 41. Heyman initially seemed to surrender, even returning the iconic Shoe-la-falla, only for Reigns to lock him in a guillotine choke to the delight of the Paris crowd. Reigns then signed the stolen shoes and tossed them into the audience, a symbolic act of defiance that quickly turned into chaos. Out of nowhere, Bron Breakker blindsided Reigns with a spear, before Reed recovered to join the beatdown. The two-on-one assault left Reigns battered, and the numbers game proved too much. Even after being strapped to a stretcher, the attack continued, leaving Reigns in a devastating state. Jey Uso attempted a late save, but he too was overwhelmed and taken out before his scheduled World Heavyweight Title clash later in the night. The shocking attack cast serious doubt on Reigns’ immediate future and added dramatic fuel to WWE’s ongoing power struggles. |  Although Rhea Ripley wasn’t scheduled to compete at WWE Clash in Paris 2025, the former Women’s World Champion traveled to France for the event. Ahead of the show, however, she endured an unsettling incident with fans. In a video circulating on social media, Ripley was seen surrounded and overwhelmed by a large group of supporters eager for autographs and photos, leading to a chaotic scene. Ripley later addressed the matter on her X/Twitter account, revealing that she was pushed against her cab’s door and “completely mobbed.” The star expressed frustration with the lack of respect for personal space, echoing sentiments recently shared by CM Punk, who also dealt with a similar situation. Her message served as an important reminder that while fan enthusiasm is appreciated, respecting boundaries is vital for the safety and comfort of WWE superstars. |
FROM THE RUMOR MILL
There has been a major update regarding AJ Lee’s WWE status in the aftermath of Clash in Paris 2025. The former Divas Champion, who has not competed in a decade, remains one of the most requested returns among wrestling fans. With her husband CM Punk competing in the main event against Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, and LA Knight, speculation surged after Becky Lynch interfered to help Rollins retain the World Heavyweight Championship. Many fans wondered if WWE could now bring AJ back to even the odds against Rollins and Lynch.
According to a report from Fightful Select, while AJ Lee had previously shown little interest in returning to the ring, the situation may now be different. The report revealed that recent creative pitches involving her were not “shut down like they used to be,” fueling hope that a long-awaited comeback could finally be on the table. If plans move forward, AJ Lee’s return would add a blockbuster dimension to Punk’s ongoing feud and mark one of the most highly anticipated comebacks in WWE history.
TOP FEATURES
Under Triple H’s creative leadership, WWE has successfully signed several notable names from AEW in recent years, including Cody Rhodes, Jade Cargill, and Ricky Starks. Now, speculation is swirling that another massive crossover could be on the horizon. At Clash in Paris 2025, WWE may have teased the potential return of Chris Jericho, one of the company’s most iconic stars, who has been a cornerstone in AEW since its inception.
During a promo video for Seth Rollins ahead of his World Heavyweight Championship defense against CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso, The Visionary was referred to as “Le Champion.” While the phrase may have simply been a French translation for “the champion” at the Paris event, fans were quick to note the connection to Jericho’s famous moniker. Given Triple H’s track record of planting Easter eggs ahead of major returns, similar to what happened before the comebacks of CM Punk and Cody Rhodes, the possibility of Jericho making a WWE return cannot be ruled out.
