We’re just a few hours away from the Clash in Paris 2025 premium live event, with six matches for the show being confirmed by the WWE. One more match could be in store, as per the updates from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, as the source suggests that WWE could be on its way to add a singles match to the card, pitting Randy Orton against Drew McIntyre.
This possible matchup at Clash in Paris 2025 stems from a previous rivalry that was further reignited at SummerSlam, where McIntyre and Logan Paul defeated Orton and Jelly Roll in a tag team action. The beef continued after Orton stunned McIntyre with a surprise RKO on last week’s SmackDown. This prompted McIntyre to jump back on Twitter and mock Orton by calling him “Old Yeller” and vowing to take him out.

Last night on SmackDown, McIntyre and Orton met in the ring for a verbal exchange that eventually turned physical. Drew started the altercation by hitting Orton with a Glasgow Kiss. Drew went for a Claymore Kick, but Orton ducked and delivered the vintage DDT off the ropes.
Security and WWE Producer Shane Helms, aka The Hurricane, interfered in the segment to stop Orton. Orton took all of them out with RKOs, including one to Shane “Hurricane” Helms. Orton further went to deliver a punt on Drew, but he escaped. Despite the altercation, a singles contest between the two wasn’t announced at Clash in Paris 2025.
