Gunther vs. Randy Orton World Heavyweight title match set for WWE Bash in Berlin

The World Heavyweight title match for Bash in Berlin is official.

On Raw, Gunther was talking about his victory at SummerSlam when Randy Orton came out to confront him. He pointed out that his shoulders were not down at King of the Ring and while he knows that the referee’s decision is final, he wanted another shot at Gunther and challenged him for Bash in Berlin. Gunther accepted, setting up the match for August 31.

Gunther did get the victory at the King of the Ring finals back in May, but at the time there was controversy over the finish. Triple H was asked about it in a social media video following the show.

“Coming back here and seeing it back, I saw exactly what you saw. I saw what everybody saw. I saw what everybody is talking about,” he said. “Didn’t really even seem controversial to me, just seemed like Randy Orton’s shoulder wasn’t down. But I’m going to say this: the referee’s decision is final. Gunther is your King of the Ring.”

The Ring General went on to defeat Damian Priest to win the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time at SummerSlam after Finn Balor turned on Priest.

Here is the lineup so far for WWE Bash in Berlin:
