Cody Rhodes successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens at Bash In Berlin. The match received high praise from fans and critics, with former WCW executive Eric Bischoff offering his thoughts on the contest. Bischoff particularly commended Kevin Owens for his character work, emphasizing how Owens made the match believable through his facial expressions and emotional portrayal.

While Bischoff enjoyed the match, he expressed his preference for it to have been the main event rather than the opener. He felt that as the current top star, Rhodes should be featured in the marquee position. Despite this criticism, Bischoff acknowledged that the match worked well in its slot. He also praised the post-match interaction between Rhodes and Owens, where Owens initially refused a handshake but then embraced Rhodes as they left the ring together.

Bischoff additionally complimented WWE’s countdown show for Bash In Berlin, noting its effectiveness in providing backstory and context for each storyline to the audience. Overall, his comments highlighted the quality of the Rhodes-Owens match and WWE’s presentation of the event.
