Top five reasons why CM Punk must win at WWE Clash in Paris

CM Punk needs to win in the title match at the upcoming Clash in Paris.

WWE is moving rapidly towards its next Premium Live Event, Clash in Paris 2025. It is set to take place on Sunday, August 31, 2025, at the Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, France. One of the top competitors scheduled for a huge title match is CM Punk.

He will square off against LA Knight, Jey Uso, and the World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins for his title in a Fatal 4-Way match. With Punk coming off a huge loss after a big win at WWE SummerSlam, here are five reasons that it is a must-win situation for The Best in the World in France.

5. Dream title matches

CM Punk winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Clash in Paris could open doors to major dream matches with the title on the line. One of them could be against Roman Reigns, which will be a must-see showdown. Other could be colliding against the returning Brock Lesnar, all of those could be marquee showdowns with Punk at the forefront as champion.

4. Revenge for WrestleMania betrayal

A big reason for CM Punk needing to win the World title at Clash in Paris is to exact revenge on Seth Rollins. He is the same man who has been his heated rival and corrupted his best friend, Paul Heyman, to turn against him.

Taking away the World Championship from him could be the perfect way to get payback from his formidable enemy.

3. Elevate young talent

CM Punk has always been about elevating talent in WWE. He could use a reign as the World Heavyweight Champion by winning at Clash in Paris to bring rising talent to prominence.

This could lead to matches against stars like Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, LA Knight, and others who could benefit from Punk’s title reign.

2. Intensify feud with Seth Rollins

The feud between CM Punk and Seth Rollins has major drawing power. The Visionary stole his big moment at WrestleMania and SummerSlam. Moreover, the duo is 1-1 against each other in a singles match.

A final rubber match for the World Heavyweight Championship could decide the ultimate victor between the two bitter WWE rivals, should Punk take the title at Clash in Paris.

1. Final run as a World Champion

CM Punk became the World Heavyweight Champion after more than a decade in WWE, defeating Gunther at SummerSlam 2025.

However, it came to an end in only five minutes by Seth Rollins’ Money in the Bank cash-in. With Punk in the later stages of his career, he deserves a full-fledged World title run to leave a lasting impression, and that makes the opportunity at Clash in Paris even more high-stakes for Punk to score the win.
