WWE Bash In Berlin SCOOPS THREAD

Fightful will update this thread as we gain more info today

• We're told they're planning to tease the crowd tonight into being louder than the France show.

• WWE held media days yesterday morning and this morning. Dominik & Liv Morgan, as well as the Terror Twins did interviews this morning

• Braun Strowman was also among the talent who didn't end up making the trip over. As noted, Blair Davenport was at TNA last night hanging out.

• Regarding Kevin Owens' interview about he and CM Punk not being friends, we've long been told that is legitimate.

• Ludwig Kaiser was a big favorite on BetOnline to answer LA Knight's challenge. We're told the reaction and match went over very well.

• Although the Bloodline are not set for a match, we are told they're still on the tour.

• Terror Twins, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Gunther and Jade/Bianca are the current betonline favorites. We have no underdog locks for this show.

• WWE is still planning a post-show in Berlin as usual for their PLE events.

• Though he isn't on the tour, Randy Orton's social media interactions with MGK were a big point of discussion this week from those we spoke to.

• Bayley had not been sidelined with an injury after Summerslam, as best we know, but had already not been planned for TV, per those in the company.

• Cody Rhodes is okay for today's match, despite the storyline point regarding his knee.

• Regarding the rumors of Philly hosting WrestleMania in 2026, the post from the governor that released the info has been deleted. WWE is locking in a number of future dates and locations as they're a hot live attendance product, but sources we spoke to in WWE were very surprised that was posted. Sources said they enjoyed their time in Philly, but were nowhere near ready to announce anything for 2026.

• A reminder SRS and Mr. Santi Zap are live for the post-show today.

• The show is being touted internally as being the highest grossing WWE show in Germany history

• Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens is opening, and Randy Orton vs. Gunther is closing. Terror Twins vs. Judgment Day is second to last.
