In a thrilling main event at Bash in Berlin, GUNTHER successfully defended his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Randy Orton. The German crowd cheered loudly for their hometown hero as the two wrestlers engaged in a grueling 30-minute match. Both competitors sustained injuries, with GUNTHER’s hand being affected and Orton’s back giving out. Despite Orton’s best efforts, GUNTHER’s stamina proved superior, leading to his victory by referee’s decision.

GUNTHER, who won the championship from Damian Priest at Summerslam, has now held the title for 27 days. Known for his long title reigns, including a record-breaking 666-day Intercontinental Championship run, GUNTHER seems poised for another lengthy reign. The match ended on a respectful note, with GUNTHER offering a handshake to Orton, which was accepted. Had Orton won, he would have become a 15-time champion, placing him just behind John Cena and Ric Flair in total WWE championship reigns.
