The crowd will be rocking for WWE Clash in Paris. Who will be the stars that turn that energy into victory? Five matches make up the card inside Paris La Défense Arena on Aug. 31. While it's not the most enticing event given what the schedule is, it has potential to be a fun night. Sheamus and Rusev will cap off their feud in a no disqualification good ol' fashioned donnybrook match. The Tribal Chief meets The Tribal Thief, and legends meet for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The World Heavyweight Championship match is bound to be chaotic, and expect the intensity to be incredible when John Cena appears in France one last time.USA TODAY Sports' wrestling reporters give their predictions for Clash in Paris: Jordan Mendoza:This rivalry between former friends hasn't really done much, but maybe they're able to develop interest with no rules in this match. This is Sheamus' match, but Rusev's return has mostly been underwhelming. If you want him to still mean something, got to give him his best victory of the year.Winner: Rusev. Richard Morin:The move is to push Rusev here after a gritty feud between these two. Sheamus has a solid chance here, though, because there aren't many Raw storylines that would seem to be a good fit for Rusev. The alternative would be prolonging this rivalry.Winner: Rusev. Jordan Mendoza:Reed has really hit his stride with Seth Rollins' faction, and his in-ring chemistry with Reigns is surprisingly well. Being the top talent he is, it's hard to envision Reigns taking a loss, even though Reed needs a victory to keep his group legit. Bron Breakker comes to play here to help out his friend. The numbers game helps out Reed get the biggest win of his WWE career.Winner: Bronson Reed. Richard Morin:Reed is the play if the WWE wants us to take The Vision seriously. The whole "Tribal Thief" gimmick is starting to work (WWE even has it on merch now). But that gimmick ends if Reigns picks up the win. I think something is building with Reigns and Jey Uso, so I think Reigns gets his shoes back even if The Vision beats him down later in the night.Winner: Roman Reigns. Jordan Mendoza:She has shown there isn't much rust from being away from the ring, but it will be really interesting to see if Bella can still hang with a premier talent in Lynch. The current champion has really upped her game in solidifying herself as a dominant heel. It's too early to take the title off of her, but this match could have a funky ending that leads to a rematch.Winner: Becky Lynch. Richard Morin:Becky Lynch is currently WWE's best women's champion, and it's not just me saying that. Other people are saying that. USA TODAY is saying that!Winner: Becky Lynch. Jordan Mendoza:The crowd is going to absolutely love Cena and hate Paul in what will easily be the most electric moment of the night. The 17-time champion has turned back to clock in his final campaign. He keeps the momentum rolling and puts the viral star to rest to leave the fans happy with his final European show.Winner: John Cena Richard Morin:How insufferable will it be to have Paul gloating that he pinned Cena during his retirement tour? It's already been hinted that Brock Lesnar will interfere here, and I can see Lesnar giving Cena a beatdown to set up their match at Wreslepalooza.Winner: Logan Paul. Jordan Mendoza:A match with so many big names, it's easy to make a case for everyone to win. It's practically a given Rollins' henchman will come and wreak havoc on the rest of the field. That, plus the developing heat the challengers have drawn against each other, means Rollins keeps his title.Winner: Seth Rollins. Richard Morin:Feels like there's no chance Rollins drops the belt here with what The Vision is building. I can see Roman Reigns coming out to make the save for Uso, but I wouldn't expect anything too wild with this being WWE's final PLE on Peacock. They'll save the crazy stuff for Wrestlepalooza, streaming on ESPN.Winner: Seth Rollins.
