WWE Bash in Berlin Gunther vs. Randy Orton World Title WWE 2K24 Gameplay

WWE Bash in Berlin is an upcoming 2024 professional wrestling event produced by the American promotion WWE. It will take place on Saturday, August 31, 2024, at the Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany and will feature wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event will air via pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming, marking WWE's first PPV and livestreaming event to be held in Germany. At King and Queen of the Ring in May, Raw's Gunther defeated SmackDown's Randy Orton in the final of the King of the Ring tournament, which earned him a match for Raw's World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam in August. During the King of the Ring final, however, Orton's shoulder was not fully on the mat when the referee counted the pin. After the show, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque noted the mistake and said the referee's decision was final but that there would likely be a rematch between the two. At SummerSlam, Gunther won the World Heavyweight Championship, and during his speech on the following Raw, he was interrupted by Orton, who noted that because of that mistake in the King of the Ring final, that ultimately allowed Gunther to become champion. He then said that he wanted his rematch at Bash in Berlin so he could take the World Heavyweight Championship from Gunther, who accepted the challenge. It was later stipulated that if Orton won the championship, he would be transferred to Raw with Gunther transferred to SmackDown.
