WWE is gearing up for an exciting “Road to Clash in Paris” tour across the UK and Ireland this summer. Starting on August 22, 2025, in Dublin, Ireland, the tour will bring live events and televised shows, leading to the big “Clash in Paris” Premium Live Event on August 31 at the La Défense Arena in Paris, France.
As Europe emerges as a significant wrestling hub, both AEW and New Japan have been making significant waves in the same region. AEW’s All In event at Wembley Stadium and WWE’s Bash in Berlin last year have set high standards. This summer, AEW and New Japan’s Forbidden Door event on August 24 in London adds even more excitement.
Now it is time for WWE fans in cities like Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester, and Cardiff to see top stars like Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair. This is the first time in 12 years that WWE will have an event in Birmingham, and it will be the first-ever SmackDown show in Dublin.
