One of the newest premium live events in WWE will take place Saturday with Bash in Berlin, marking another pay-per-view across the pond for the company, but the first ever in Germany.
It's not a heavy card with only five matches scheduled to take place, but three of them will be for titles, including the Undisputed WWE Championship match between friends Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens, as well as the World Heavyweight Championship bout between Gunther and the icon Randy Orton. The women's tag titles are on the line as well, and two of the top feuds in wrestling will have another battle. European crowds have given WWE an electric atmosphere this year, and expect the same this time around.

The kickoff show streamed on YouTube yesterday, August 30, preparing fans across the world for both Friday Night Smackdown and Bash in Berlin. Michael Cole kicked off the show to outstanding applause, before introducing The Miz as his first guest. However, the two of them didn't interact much before The Miz gave way to CM Punk.
Punk was met with uproaring applause and cheers. Cole and Punk talked about Punk's rivalry with Drew McIntyre, and his success in strap matches throughout his career. Punk played to the crowd of course, even listing them as his biggest advantage in his match against McIntyre tonight.
The cheers quickly turned to boos when Cole's next guest appeared on stage, Drew McIntyre. McIntyre turned the tides on the crowd though, reminding them that through thick and thin, he has remained with WWE while Punk left and attempted to make it big through other avenues. The crowd wasn't having it though, calling McIntyre an "a**hole." Michael Cole commented, "That's English, Drew." No interpreter needed.
Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio were the next to take the stage. The Bonnie and Clyde of WWE have never shied from angry crowds, and boy, was the Berlin crowd upset with them. They were much more excited to see Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley, the Terror Twins, reminding everyone that Dom made an awful choice choosing Morgan over Ripley.
Of course, the show couldn't finish without the man that the entirety of Germany is rooting for: the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. The man who has held at least one title for nearly three-quarters of his career with WWE will certainly be the most popular pick to win tonight. A loss to Randy Orton would certainly make for some upset German fans.
