The road to Clash in Paris continues this Monday, August 25th with a new episode of WWE Raw from Birmingham. The program, which will air at a special time of 3:00 pm ET on Netflix, will feature the immediate presence of Roman Reigns, who will kick off the evening.

The decision was announced during the latest episode of SmackDown, following the events that closed last week's Raw. In that show, Jey Uso was facing Bron Breakker in an Extreme Rules match when The Vision intervened to tip the scales. The situation led to a brawl with appearances from LA Knight, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk, until Reigns burst onto the scene to make a difference. The Tribal Chief connected with a spear on Breakker, allowing Uso to deliver his final splash through a table to secure the victory.

Following that ending, Reigns issued a direct challenge to Reed for Clash in Paris. Reed, now dubbed the Tribal Thief, accepted the challenge amidst a rivalry marked by constant attacks and taunts towards Reigns, including instances where Reed even stole pairs of shoes to publicly humiliate him.

In addition to Reigns' prominence, the episode will feature highlighted matches on the card, such as a bout between Rhea Ripley and Roxanne Perez or a showdown between Penta and Kofi Kingston. The special appearance of Nikki Bella will complete a night eagerly anticipated by English fans.
