Gunther Retains World Heavyweight Title Over Randy Orton At WWE Bash In Berlin, Shakes His Hand

Gunther makes a statement in Berlin.

Gunther defeated Randy Orton in a highly competitive match at the WWE Bash in Berlin. This was the first time Gunther had closed out a WWE pay-per-view since joining the main roster in 2022. Randy Orton gave it his best shot and delivered RKOs, but it was Gunther's night, and he would defeat Randy Orton with a rear naked choke. While Randy Orton did not tap out, he did pass out.

With this match now behind him, Randy Orton will return to Friday nights as a WWE SmackDown Superstar.
