Post-SummerSlam Stirrings: Key Observations from the August 4, 2025 WWE Raw
Title Match-Up for Clash in Paris: Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight vs. CM Punk
The upcoming WWE event, Clash in Paris, is set to host an exciting triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship. The match will feature Seth Rollins, the current champion, going head-to-head with LA Knight and CM Punk.
This anticipated clash of titans comes after Rollins successfully retained his title against LA Knight on WWE Raw, following SummerSlam 2025. The match ended in a disqualification, with CM Punk interfering, setting the stage for this triple threat showdown.
The announcement of this match is expected to be made official on August 31, 2025[1][2]. There are also rumours of Roman Reigns being involved in some capacity, potentially leading to a trios tag match. However, the primary confirmed and most reported singles title defense at Clash in Paris is the triple threat for the World Heavyweight Championship[3][4].
Meanwhile, Becky Lynch, officially considered the greatest female wrestler of all time, made a significant impact during her mic session on Monday. Her comments towards Nikki Bella elicited the "holy s###" chant from the fans[5]. Additionally, there have been hints of AJ Lee's return to WWE, following Lynch's recent comments about her and CM Punk[6].
Here's a brief overview of the upcoming matches:
