WWE is holding its first-ever premium live event in Germany, as the company brings Bash in Berlin to the Uber Arena on Saturday. The card is stacked with title matches, as well as WWE's biggest blood feud in recent memory, and the German crowd is going to be raucous, if Friday's "WWE SmackDown" is any indication. There are five matches on the card: three of them for championships, one for bragging rights in a messy love triangle, and another a straight up brawl of a Strap Match in a feud that has broken down into a battle over a bracelet.

That feud of course is between none other than CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. McIntyre has been running his mouth and posting about Punk on social media for months following Punk's return at Survivor Series 2023, and his subsequent injury in the Royal Rumble. The two faced each other at SummerSlam in early August, with Seth Rollins as the special guest referee, and McIntyre came out on top. Instead of resolving the feud and giving Punk back the bracelet bearing the names of his wife and dog, McIntyre kept the trinket, leading to Punk beating the former World Heavyweight Champion with a belt and inspiring the Strap Match for Bash in Berlin.
The World Heavyweight Championship is also on the line, as GUNTHER takes on Randy Orton near the former's home country of Austria. The two have faced off numerous times in the ring leading up to the match, which was inspired by GUNTHER beating Orton in the King of the Ring final, though Orton's shoulders were not down. GUNTHER is looking to avoid another RKO from outta nowhere to hold on to his championship.

MORE TITLES, MORE FEUDS

The other match for a top prize will see Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes defend against friend Kevin Owens. Rhodes gave Owens a title shot for helping him take on The Bloodline, though Owens initially thought he didn't deserve it. WWE has been teasing a heel turn for Owens in this match, and on "SmackDown," Owens implied that the "American Nightmare" had injured his knee during a house show. Rhodes looks to continue his story in what is rumored to be the main event.

In mixed tag team action, Dominik Mysterio and Women's World Champion Liv Morgan will take on "Terror Twins" Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest. Ripley looks to get her revenge on Morgan for taking both her championship while she was out injured, and her boyfriend. Priest will not only help defend his best friend's honor, but looks to get revenge on former Judgment Day stablemate Mysterio as well.
The final match on the card will see the Unholy Union of Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn defend their Women's Tag Team Championship against former champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. Belair and Cargill are looking to take back the titles they didn't get pinned for when the Unholy Union pulled out a victory in their home country of Scotland at Clash at the Castle.
