UNDISPUTED WWE CHAMPION CODY RHODES vs. KEVIN OWENS
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will defend his title at WWE Bash in Berlin against staunch ally Kevin Owens.
KO has been battling The Bloodline on and off for over four years and after The American Nightmare defeated Solo Sikoa at SummerSlam, Rhodes offered Owens the chance to face him at WWE Bash in Berlin.
Rhodes and Owens have squared off once before in singles competition, in early 2022 not long after The American Nightmare made his stunning return to WWE. On that evening, Rhodes managed to defeat Owens by a count-out victory.
The American Nightmare has been a fighting champion, having defeated the likes of Sikoa, AJ Styles, and Logan Paul in Championship defenses.
Can Rhodes continue his reign as Undisputed WWE Champion or will KO become world champion for just the second time in his career?
😅😅😅

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION GUNTHER vs. RANDY ORTON
Two of the best in the world will go one-on-one when World Heavyweight Champion Gunther returns home to Europe to face Randy Orton. Gunther won the World Heavyweight Title at SummerSlam by defeating Damian Priest, but his journey there included a controversial King of the Ring win over Orton in Saudi Arabia.
After Gunther won the World Title, The Viper shocked the WWE Universe by appearing on Monday Night Raw, revealing that Adam Pearce has granted him a championship opportunity at Bash in Berlin with the winner staying on Raw and the loser going to SmackDown.
The Ring General welcomed the opportunity, setting the stage for a monumental World Heavyweight Title Match in Germany.

DAMIAN PRIEST & RHEA RIPLEY vs. "DIRTY" DOMINIK MYSTERIO & LIV MORGAN
An irate Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley will be out for retribution when they take on "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Women's World Champion Liv Morgan in a Mixed Tag Team Match at WWE Bash in Berlin.
At SummerSlam, "Dirty" Dom stunned the WWE Universe when he betrayed Mami and helped Morgan retain her title. He then added insult to injury by making out with the champion in a post-match celebration.
Later in the same evening, Finn Bálor created another shocking moment when he caused Priest to lose the World Heavyweight Championship to Gunther and forever shattered The Judgment Day as we knew it.
On Raw, Bálor, Mysterio, Morgan, JD McDonagh, and Carlito reemerged as a new version of The Judgment Day in direct opposition with Priest and Ripley.
Arguably the two most powerful members of the dark faction's former incarnation, Priest and The Eradicator were thirsty for payback and planned to get it against Dominik and Morgan to a Mixed Tag Team Match.

CM PUNK vs. DREW MCINTYRE (STRAP MATCH)
At WWE Bash in Berlin, CM Punk will once again go to war with Drew McIntyre in a highly personal Strap Match.
When Punk returned to WWE only to suffer an injury in the 2024 Royal Rumble Match, McIntyre said that he prayed for it to happen and mercilessly mocked Punk for being injured. His actions, however, would have consequences.
At WrestleMania XL, Punk was at ringside when McIntyre won the World Heavyweight Championship from Seth "Freakin" Rollins. After the bell, however, a post-match confrontation between The Scottish Psychopath and The Second City Saint helped limit McIntyre’s reign to mere minutes as it paved the way for Damian Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and defeat McIntyre to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Punk then cost McIntyre a title opportunity the following Monday night in a No. 1 Contender’s Match on Raw and interfered in McIntyre's World Heavyweight Title Match against Priest at WWE Clash at the Castle. An irate McIntyre fired back by pretending to quit WWE, then unleashing a brutal beatdown of Punk on SmackDown and stealing a bracelet that represented Punk’s love for his wife and dog.
McIntyre won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and inserted himself into the World Heavyweight Title Match between Priest and Rollins on the same night, only to have Punk cost him the match one more time.
When the two finally squared off in a highly anticipated showdown at SummerSlam, McIntyre emerged victorious over Punk after an altercation between The Second City Saint and Rollins, the Special Guest Referee.
After Punk whipped McIntyre with his own belt on the Aug. 12 edition of Raw, a Strap Match was made. It will be a brutal showdown with the two Superstars tied together and free to use the strap to do as much damage as possible.

THE UNHOLY UNIONS vs. BIANCA BELAIR & JADE CARGILL FOR THE WWE WOMEN’S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship will be on the line at WWE Bash in Berlin when Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn defend against former champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill.
At WWE Clash at the Castle in their home country of Scotland, Fyre and Dawn became champions by winning a Triple Threat Tag Team Title Match against titleholders Belair and Cargill as well as Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark.
A dominant combination, Belair and Cargill are laser-focused on reclaiming the gold, but can they overcome the ominous power of The Unholy Union?
