After a 27 year absence, the WWE returned to Germany, it was time for a party, at the Bash In Berlin.
Cody Rhodes versus Kevin Owens opened the show, they were on the same page to start the match, we saw some close near falls for Kevin, he began to be frustrated, Cody won to remain the WWE Champion, as expected, the two hugged in the ring, whether we see a rematch between the two remains to be seen.
We have NEW Women's Tag Team Champions, Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair defeated Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn to get their "revenge" as it were, from Clash at the Castle from Scotland, earlier this year.
Speaking of revenge, CM Punk won the Strap Match against Drew McIntyre by lighting up all four corners of the ring, Punk retrieved the bracelet from Drew's wrist, hopefully we get to see them in a cage at Bad Blood in October, although, Punk mentioned in an interview after the match the feud is over, we shall see of course.
Damian Priest & Rhea Ripley vs Dom Mysterio & Liv Morgan got off to a slow start, however, in the words of the legendary Jim Ross, "business picked up" when Finn Balor and JD McDonagh ran down to the ring in an attempt to help Dom & Liv, this was unsuccessful as Rhea pinned Liv in the ring to win the match for her and Damian and to also have a shout for a future Women's World Championship opportunity.
Randy Orton made his way to the ring to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, the crowd singing his theme song was nice to hear, they cheered Gunther as expected, the crowd continued when the Challenger and Champion were in the ring, Orton applauded them, he probably wanted them to stop, jokes aside, this was an excellent main event, The Ring General continues his reign, Orton and Gunther showed respect to each other after the match before the show closed out.
That is it for the review, thank you for reading, be sure to check out the archived content on this website.
