WWE Bash in Berlin: A Preview and Card Predictions

10 minutes ago By Jhon Woug

WWE has been internationalizing its shows for years, and Bash in Berlin is another great example of how WWE continues to strive to bring the best of sports entertainment to global viewers. Scheduled to happen in the dynamic city of Berlin in Germany, this event is expected to be monumental and entail both the WWE’s physical prowess as well as the cultural heritage of one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations. As the hype grows, people are already discussing what the match lineup could be. This article offers a detailed breakdown of the match card, considering possible feuds, storylines’ sequels, and title matches that might take place at the show.

  1. Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre (for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship)

Roman Reigns has been the mainstay of WWE for several years now, and the Universal Championship is practically his throne. He has been too hard to be tamed, as he has vanquished every obstacle put in front of him throughout the season, but Bash in Berlin could be different. Drew McIntyre, the Scottish Warrior, has been gradually approaching the position of leader once again. Since his crushing loss to Clash at the Castle in 2022, McIntyre has been on a revenge arc, and the payoff could very well be in Berlin.

Considering that the event takes place in Europe again, it is the ideal environment for McIntyre to confront Reigns one more time. The story would be exciting, with McIntyre insisting that this time he would take the title from Reigns on neutral ground. A battle between these two giants would surely be the headline, and one could see McIntyre having the crowd behind him and Reigns sweating to overcome him.

Prediction: Roman Reigns retains after a brutal battle and maintains his legendary run, likely with help from The Bloodline or a shady ending for McIntyre.

  1. Becky Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley (WWE Women’s World Championship Match)

Becky Lynch has been involved in different rivalries since her comeback to the ring, but there is no better match to imagine than her going head-to-head with Rhea Ripley, the current Women’s World Champion. Ripley is the new age of dominant female athletes, and she has done well to earn her place among the league of great wrestlers.

This match would be a fight between the young and the old guard: Lynch as a sign of the established talent that has helped shape the revolution, and Ripley as the future. The plot can be about Lynch doubting Ripley’s ability to take on the responsibility of the whole division. They would be like two behemoth titans going head-to-head in Berlin, with Lynch standing to gain the position of champion.

Prediction: Rhea Ripley remains the champion after a fierce match, proving why she is the present and future of the women’s division in WWE today.

  1. Gunther vs. Sheamus (Intercontinental Championship Match)

The Intercontinental Champion, Gunther, has been on a tear as Ring General and has brought pride and a more brutal approach to the title. His past encounters with Sheamus have always been classic, and their bout at Clash at the Castle was one such.

It would only make sense to have a rematch between these two at Bash in Berlin, and it could quite easily be one of the most violent and entertaining bouts on the card. Sheamus, the fighter as always, would be looking to win the one belt that he has been unable to get in all his time with WWE. This match would be more special as both players have their roots in Europe and have been playing for European clubs.

Prediction: This is another incredible match that sees Gunther successfully defend the Intercontinental Championship, which makes him stand tall as the champion.

  1. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor (Grudge Match)

Seth Rollins and Finn Bálor are quite familiar with each other as the two battled it out for the inaugural Universal Championship. That feud culminated in Bálor suffering a career-threatening injury that set him back for years; since then, he has been relentless in his pursuit of the top of the division. Their encounters have recently started, and Berlin might be the best place where they would have to face each other.

Such a match wouldn’t necessarily require a title on the line. The private enmity and the urge to see who among them is the better man would have been sufficient to power the story. This is always a good sign when two excellent in-ring workers are facing each other, and with a renewed focus, Bálor could be the show stealer.

Prediction: Seth Rollins becomes a face after a seeming victory against Finn Bálor in a close contest where Judgment Day might have interfered, and Rollins then has a reason to seek retribution.

  1. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn vs. The Usos (Smackdown Tag Team Championship)

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, the current tag team champions, have not had the easiest of times since reuniting as a team. Their win over the Usos in WrestleMania can be considered one of their biggest wins, but this rivalry is not over yet. The Usos would be keen to get at Owens and Zayn again with the intention of regaining their belts and proving themselves as the superior team.

The story could revolve around The Bloodline and the effect it has on The Usos for this bout. While Owens and Zayn would fight together, their friendship would be put to the ultimate test against the endless stream of challengers. This bout should be set in Berlin since people around the world would have a stake in both teams.

Prediction: Owens and Zayn keep the belts, but the Usos give it a good fight, and it may set up for more drama in the story of The Bloodline.

  1. Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka (singles match)

Charlotte Flair and Asuka have been wrestling for years, and each time they meet, they present one of the most exciting feuds and best wrestling performances. Asuka has just turned heel and has become much more aggressive, which means that a match against Charlotte in Berlin can become another page in their biography.

It could be built as a spite match, with Asuka attacking Charlotte in the build-up, asking her, ‘What is a Queen of WWE?’. Charlotte, who is never shy about a good scrap, would look to demonstrate why she is a multiple-time champion.

Prediction: Asuka wins and remains focused as a heel, and she sets her sights on the Women’s World Championship.

  1. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. LA Knight (United States Championship Match)

The latest spike in Shinsuke Nakamura’s activity has seen him reintegrate into the United States Championship scene, and a bout with the young contender LA Knight could be an exhibition of Bash in Berlin. LA Knight has been steadily getting over with the fans, and the match with Nakamura would be perfect to push both competitors.

It would be Nakamura having a smart match against a tough and physically dominating LA Knight who wants to conquer the world. Berlin is a city that loves strong-style wrestlers, and this confrontation will take place there.

Prediction: LA Knight becomes the new United States Champion, which was to be the start of a major push for him as an upper-card star in WWE.

  1. The New Day vs. Imperium (Tag Team Match)

Since the event is to take place in Germany, it would make sense to have Imperium, which, as you may recall, is led by the Austrian Gunther, be more prominent. A match against The New Day, one of WWE’s most successful and entertaining tag teams, would offer a perfect foil in terms of approach.

The New Day was all about excitement and having fun in the ring, and this would not go well with the strict and military-like Imperium. This match could turn into an excellent promotion for both teams, especially Imperium, which will play at home.

Prediction: Imperium wins, which only strengthens their hold over WWE and potentially sets them up for a run at the NXT Tag Team Championship.

  1. Randy Orton vs. Bron Breakker (Legend vs. Future Match)

A match between Randy Orton, a man with years of experience and countless titles, and the new and promising talent of WWE Bron Breaker can be interesting. Orton’s return to the ring after such a long time would be a big deal, and a match against Breakker could be sold as a transition of power.

Breakker, the behemoth with the great pedigree, would have been eager to stamp his authority by getting a win over a man of Orton’s standing. The story can be that Orton is wondering if Breakker has what it takes to be a legend and, thus, can have a confrontation.

Prediction: Bron Breakker wins, meaning that he is on his way up the WWE ladder, while Orton might be in a position to guide the new NXT Champion moving forward.

Conclusion

WWE Bash in Berlin can turn into one of the most interesting shows of the year, and the line-up is good enough for both die-hard fans and those who watch wrestling only occasionally. The combination of the title battles, rivalry, and clashes between the top athletes and the newcomers guarantees a great show. This could have gone down in WWE history as one of the most memorable steps in its continued expansion across the world, let alone the historic backdrop of Berlin.

The ideas given here for what could occur in WWE Bash in Berlin are based on the ongoing stories and possible paths that WWE might choose, but as it always is true with professional wrestling, anything can take place. These forecasts may or may not come true, yet one fact remains clear, the WWE Bash in Berlin will be an unforgettable evening for supporters throughout the globe.
