WWE Clash in Paris and Raw Set for Paris La Défense Arena This Summer

WWE has officially announced Clash in Paris, its next European Premium Live Event (PLE), set to take place on August 31, 2024, at the Paris La Défense Arena. The confirmation follows reports that the event was in the works, with WWE making the announcement via a press release and a teaser video on social media.

WWE’s Debut at Paris La Défense Arena

This event marks WWE’s debut at the Paris La Défense Arena, the largest indoor venue in Europe with a 40,000-seat capacity for concerts and 32,000 for rugby.

Known for hosting major acts like Taylor Swift, The Rolling Stones, and Bruce Springsteen, the arena gained further recognition as a venue for the 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, where it hosted swimming and water polo events. The arena also boasts one of the largest indoor screens in the world, covering an entire side of the venue, enhancing the spectacle of the event.

Triple H on WWE’s Return to France

WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque expressed his excitement about returning to France following the success of Backlash: France in Lyon last year:

“Backlash France in Lyon last year broke arena records and decibel levels, demonstrating just how loud and passionate our WWE fans in France can be. We believe Clash in Paris and Raw will attract people from around the world to Paris and once again create a true spectacle.”

A Weekend of WWE Action in Paris

The action in Paris won’t be limited to just Clash in Paris. The following night, September 1, 2024, WWE Raw will also be held at Paris La Défense Arena, giving fans a full weekend of WWE entertainment.

Building on the Success of the ‘Clash’ Series

Clash in Paris will be the third installment of WWE’s Clash PLE series, following Clash at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales (2022) and last year’s event in Glasgow, Scotland (2023). Given the success of previous European events, WWE expects a raucous atmosphere and a global audience making the trip to the French capital for this milestone show.
