A second title fight has joined this weekend’s Clash In Paris Premium Live Event.

Becky Lynch will put her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship on the line against Nikki Bella as part of Sunday’s event at the Paris La Defense Arena.

Lynch agreed to a matchup against Bella on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw following an in-ring confrontation between the two.

The bout will see Bella look to obtain her first title in a decade. Her last championship reign dates back to 2015, when she held the Divas Championship for the second time.

But to achieve a title reign, Bella will have to do something that many others have come up short attempting recently, and that’s beating Lynch.

Lynch, the second-ever women’s intercontinental champ, has defended the title in matchups against Bayley, Lyra Valkyria, and Natalya, as part of a run which first started back in June.

Sunday’s card in France now has five fights in total. The main attraction of the night will see Seth Rollins try to survive a four-way with his WWE World Heavyweight Championship up for grabs. Also on the card, John Cena’s retirement tour will continue with a match against Logan Paul.

Here’s an updated look:

  • Becky Lynch vs. Nikki Bella (WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship)
  • Sheamus vs. Rusev (Good Ol’ Fashioned Donnybrook)
  • John Cena vs. Logan Paul
  • Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed
  • Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk vs. LA Knight vs. Jey Uso (WWE World Heavyweight Championship) (Fatal Four-Way)
