WWE Clash In Paris Title Match Finish Could Trigger Legend’s Return

A legend could return to WWE Clash In Paris this Sunday.

Nikki Bella is set to face Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship at WWE Clash in Paris. This feud developed over several weeks leading up to the event on August 31, 2025. The WWE Hall of Famer’s return in early 2025 marked a renewed focus on competition after a significant hiatus. Their rivalry intensified through a series of confrontations on Raw.

On his Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts was clear about Nikki Bella’s odds at Clash in Paris. He predicted Bella will not walk away with the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, emphasizing that Becky Lynch’s reign is expected to continue.

Becky Lynch versus Nikki Bella in a match that, you know, I don’t think Nikki Bella leaves with the Intercontinental Championship. I don’t think most people think that Nikki Bella leaves with the Intercontinental Championship.

Robert sees this bout as a stepping stone for future storylines rather than a championship changing hands immediately. Therefore, he speculated that Nikki Bella’s match against Becky Lynch wouldn’t be her last and hinted at potential future developments involving her twin sister, Brie Bella.

Brie Bella’s WWE Return

Speaking on his podcast, Roberts mentioned the possibility of “shenanigans” or interference impacting the match outcome and suggested Becky Lynch may add a new ally to her side. This could open the door for Brie Bella’s WWE return on Sunday, potentially reuniting the Bella twins in a tag team storyline against Lynch and her ally.

Do I think Nikki Bella leaves with the Intercontinental Championship? No, do I think this is one and done? No, I think that there may be some kind of chicanery, maybe some kind of shenanigans. You know, I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point Becky Lynch finds some kind of lackey to add to her act, which who knows if Becky Lynch can find somebody to be by her side, maybe then that opens the door for a Brie Bella return and we get some kind of tag match.
