WWE Raw live today at 2 PM ET on Netflix from the La Défense Arena in Paris.
WWE CLASH IN PARIS QUICK RESULTS
World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins (c) def. CM Punk, Jey Uso, LA Knight
WWE delivered a wild night in France with celebrity cameos, and chaotic championship battles. Here’s how it all went down:
The atmosphere was electric for Roman Reigns’ return to singles action, and “Big” Bronson Reed gave him all he could handle. The Australian powerhouse nearly had the Tribal Chief put away on multiple occasions — connecting with a senton, Death Valley Driver, and even a crushing Liger Bomb.
Reigns dug deep, surviving Reed’s best shots and landing a thunderous avalanche Samoan Drop before finally finishing things with a decisive spear.
The celebration didn’t last long. After the bell, Paul Heyman tried to play peacemaker, but Roman choked out his former advisor in a vicious Guillotine before walking off with his reclaimed shoes that Reed had previously stolen.
Just when it looked like Reigns would stand tall in Paris, Bron Breakker exploded from nowhere with a spear! That ambush kicked off a post-match beatdown where Breakker and Reed brutalized Reigns, dropping him with repeated Tsunamis until he had to be stretchered out. Jey Uso tried to intervene, but he too was left laid out.
The attack sets the stage for major fallout — and for the first time in years, Roman looked vulnerable.
Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford came close to dethroning Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy, but the Wyatt 6’s chaos once again proved too much.
After a competitive back-and-forth, interference from Nikki Cross, Uncle Howdy, and Erick Rowan tilted the odds in the champions’ favor. Gacy and Lumis sealed the win with a devastating suplex/powerbomb combo on Ford to retain the gold.
Nikki Bella brought the fight in her surprising return, even hitting Becky Lynch with her own Manhandle Slam. But “The Man” survived Bella’s Fearless Lock, outlasted a brutal ringside brawl, and snatched the win with a crafty backslide. Lynch remains Women’s Intercontinental Champion, while Bella’s comeback nearly stole the show.
A brutal, beer-soaked brawl unfolded as Rusev and Sheamus tore into each other with chairs, kendo sticks, and shillelaghs. The Redeemer ultimately forced Sheamus to tap to a shillelagh-assisted Accolade, scoring one of his biggest wins since returning to WWE.
Logan Paul once again proved he belongs in WWE, pushing John Cena to the limit in one of the night’s most dramatic matches. Paul connected with everything from Buckshot Lariats to frog splashes, but Cena’s heart and veteran resilience carried him through.
After a stunning Styles Clash and Frankensteiner didn’t get it done, Cena finally sealed the deal with back-to-back Attitude Adjustments for the victory. Cena celebrated with the Paris crowd, his wife at ringside, and even shared a hug with country star Jelly Roll, who was in attendance alongside Post Malone.
Seth Rollins defended against CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso in a chaotic main event. All four men had moments where they nearly walked out as champion — Punk nailed the GTS, Jey landed a big splash, and Knight hit Blunt Force Trauma — but the Visionary always found a way to survive.
The turning point came late when a hooded figure stormed the ring and hit Punk with a low blow. The culprit? Becky Lynch. With his wife’s shocking assist, Rollins drilled Punk with the Blackout to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
Afterward, Rollins and Lynch taunted Punk together, cementing themselves as one of WWE’s most dangerous power couples.
Ring of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor 2025 may have delivered inside the ring, but the broadcast didn’t go as smoothly as planned. During the post-show media scrum, ROH/AEW CEO Tony Khan openly addressed the technical issues that plagued the live stream and also provided an update on Taz’s postponed Hall of Fame induction.
Fans watching via WatchROH.com ran into problems depending on their browser of choice, with Chrome, Firefox, and even Microsoft Edge users experiencing streaming errors. Khan explained that once the problem was identified, he quickly made the call to upload the full pay-per-view to YouTube for free worldwide — a bold decision made while the show was still in progress.
To make good with paying subscribers, Khan also announced that all current WatchROH.com members will automatically receive a one-month credit. While he acknowledged the financial hit — noting that “hundreds of thousands of dollars” worth of subscription revenue would be lost — Khan said the overwhelmingly positive response from fans made the decision worth it.
“The show we delivered was fantastic, and I think new fans must have seen it,” Khan said. “It was a lot of money to eat, but the response on social media was almost unanimously positive.”
The company will now work with streaming partner Brightcove to ensure the issue isn’t repeated.
Another topic addressed during the scrum was the postponed 2300 Arena Hardcore Hall of Fame induction for Taz. The ceremony was originally scheduled for Death Before Dishonor, but at Taz’s request, the moment has been moved.
According to Khan, the ECW legend wanted more time to arrange for his family to attend the special honor. As a result, the induction will now take place on the September 3rd edition of AEW Dynamite.
“He asked if we could please wait until Wednesday so he could get his family lined up. It’s the least we can do for Taz,” Khan explained. “It’s a real honor for us to celebrate him in that building.”
While technical hiccups threatened to overshadow ROH’s biggest summer event, Tony Khan’s quick response and willingness to eat the cost turned what could’ve been a PR nightmare into a goodwill gesture. Fans not only got the show for free, but subscribers were also compensated — and the buzz online shows it paid off. Meanwhile, Taz’s induction being shifted to Dynamite gives the legend an even bigger stage for the recognition he deserves.
Ring of Honor presented Death Before Dishonor 2025, a night filled with title changes and standout performances. The card, which aired for free on YouTube after some early technical hiccups, delivered plenty of memorable moments for ROH fans. Here’s a rundown of the action.

ROH World Tag Team Champion and ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion Dustin Rhodes is out following double knee replacement surgery.
AEW is paying homage to one of ECW’s most iconic figures. This Saturday, during AEW Collision at Philadelphia’s legendary 2300 Arena, Taz will officially be inducted into the venue’s Hardcore Hall of Fame.
The announcement came after this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite went off the air, where the AEW roster surrounded the ring in “Team Taz Dojo” shirts for a surprise tribute. The moment was capped off by AEW President Tony Khan, who praised Taz as one of the building’s all-time greats.
“After a great night here for the first ever AEW show in the 2300 Arena, I can’t think of a more fitting way to end it than to pay respect to the greatest legend in the history of this building,” Khan said, recalling how he wore a Taz shirt as a teenager attending ECW shows.
Taz carved out a legendary career during his six-year run in ECW, capturing the ECW World Heavyweight Championship twice, the Television Title twice, and the Tag Titles three times. He also famously introduced the FTW Championship — a belt later revived in AEW in 2020. That legacy continued through his son, HOOK, who became the final FTW Champion before retiring the title in 2024.
According to Taz, the tribute caught him off guard, with his wife and son helping keep the surprise under wraps. On Saturday, his official Hardcore Hall of Fame banner will be raised inside the arena that defined so much of his career.
For a man once known as “The Human Suplex Machine,” the honor is another suplex-sized stamp on his lasting impact in professional wrestling history.
The Rhodes family just got a little bigger. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and his wife Brandi have announced the arrival of their second child, sharing the happy news with fans on social media.
The couple, who became first-time parents in 2021 with the birth of their daughter Liberty, are now celebrating the arrival of another baby girl. Born on August 29, 2025, the newest addition to the family has been named Leilani Ella Runnels.
Brandi shared the announcement on Twitter, posting a photo of herself holding her newborn’s tiny hand alongside a heartfelt message:
“Welcome to the world Leilani Ella Runnels. We are in love. Thank you God for answered prayers. Cody + Brandi + Libby + Lani = ❤️”
For Cody, this marks an especially meaningful time in his life, balancing the top spot in WWE with the joys of fatherhood. Fans and fellow wrestlers have already begun flooding the couple’s timelines with congratulatory messages, celebrating not only his championship reign but also the family milestone.
WWE SmackDown airs tonight on USA Network from the LDLC Arena in Lyon, France.
Final stop en route to Clash In Paris on Sunday.
