Bash In Berlin - The LIVE Results



We see Michael Cole's interview with Randy Orton. Orton talks about his return to WWE after eighteen months on the shelf, his reaction to CM Punk's return, the change in the backstage atmosphere under Paul "Triple H" Levesque, and things about the past that he could change.

Peter Rosenberg intervews Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair. Bianca Belair says it has been a long trip and a long tour, but she and Jade are ready to take the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships back. She says losing the titles was the best thing to happen to them as it only made them stronger, even though The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn) did not pin them to win, and that tonight will be the night. Jade says they are going after something that is respectfully theirs and that they are taking the women's tag titles back.

Jackie Redmond interviews Liv Morgan and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio backstage. Liv says Rhea Ripley not only turned on her and cost her and Raquel Rodriguez the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships, but she also injured her shoulder. Dominik says Rhea and Damian Priest and that Liv is so much better. Liv says she and Dominik wanted to share their successes with Rhea, but thanks to her ego, now they get to share their successes with each other.

Cathy Kelley interviews Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley backstage. Rhea says they are very different people since they joined The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Carlito, Liv Morgan), and while they have made some regrettable decisions, Liv Morgan's revenge tour has gone past revenge and that she and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio are going to regret their decisions. Damian Priest says everyone has a past and that the past is not the best version of one's self, but one learns, grows and change. However, he still calls Dominik "the same immature, scumbag lame-ass kid that [he] met," and tonight, The Judgment Day receives their punishment.

Byron Saxton interviews WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Leveseque backstage. He says it has been 27 years since WWE has been in Germany, and that when he was here, he has the privilege of wrestling Bret "The Hit Man" Hart. He says that Germany is one of his favorite destinations and does not know why it took so long to come back. He says that history will be made tonight, as it is the highest-grossing arena event in WWE history after initially setting the record at Clash at the Castle and breaking it at Backlash, and that wherever WWE is seen, he is looking forward to going everywhere and bringing WWE to the fans. Triple H says it is humbling seeing everyone work to get to this and to be everywhere in the globe and be the most popular thing there. He says that this is just the beginning.

Corey Graves moderates a face-to-face meeting between "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens.

Sebastian Hackl interviews Gunther. Gunther says tonight's match against Randy Orton will not be easy, and even though Orton has won a world title fourteen times, he has also lost a world title fourteen times. He says he has won the title once and does not plan on losing it. Gunther says that tonight is a special night as well as a big responsibility, and he cannot wait to go out there and be the World Heavyweight Champion and defend his title.

We see more of Michael Cole's interview with Randy Orton, where Orton talks about his King of the Ring match with Gunther, his World Heavyweight Championship match with Gunther tonight, how he has brought his wife to Berlin, Germany for tonight's show and how he cannot wait to see how she as well as the fans react during the match, and Gunther making their match personal.



Cathy Kelley interviews CM Punk. Punk says that the closer he gets to his match tonight, the more of a weight that he feels inside him, and that he will hurt Drew McIntyre physically as well as mentally. He says he is fighting for his pride and family, and he wants to make sure McIntyre is fighting for his life.

We are introduced to the German announce team of Manu Thiele and Sebastian Hackl.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes retains the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens despite an injured knee. During the match, Owens kicks the injured knee on the outside, but cannot bring himself to hit Cody with a powerbomb onto the ring apron. After the match, Kevin Owens hugs Cody, then raises his hand.



Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill beat The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn) to become the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions for a second time after Jade saves Bianca from a top rope splash by Alba Fyre, which causes Alba to inadvertently splash Isla Dawn.





CM Punk beats Drew McIntyre in a strap match and takes his bracelet back. The match is Punk's first win since his return and the first in ten-and-a-half years. After the match, Punk celebrates with UFC welterweight fighter Oban Elliot in the crowd.



Sebastian Hackl announces in German that tonight's show is the highest grossing arena show anywhere in WWE history.
