Gunther vs. Randy Orton – World Heavyweight Title Match: WWE Bash in Berlin 2024 highlights

[FOREIGN] >> [APPLAUSE] >> Ladies and gentlemen, I demand all your gratitude for your World Heavyweight Champion. >> [APPLAUSE] >> The Ring General, Gunther. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Well, it's a shame the greatest in the world, Samantha Irvin, wasn't allowed to do that, but Ludwig Kaiser, Gunther's Imperium stablemate, does the honors here tonight. And we are about to get underway. And Orton continues to work on the arm now of Gunther, smart move. >> You're right, Cole, this is no accident whatsoever, this is cooked up in the devious, diabolical mind of Randy Orton. >> And now driving Gunther, again, shoulder-first into the steps. >> Doubling down on the strategy, maybe changing up the technique. >> And again, just can't get Randy up with that bad arm. >> Well, that's 275 pounds. >> 290. >> 290, my bad, of Randy Orton, that is a heavy body with two good hands. With one ruined arm, perhaps no chance. >> And Gunther, does he have anything left, can he dig down deep, does he have enough adrenaline to get Randy Orton up? Cuz that powerbomb would be devastating to the back of Orton. >> And it's a rare procedural tactical mistake from The Ring General, three attempts, three failures for Gunther, he has to move on, he's being stubborn. >> And now Randy Orton trying to power his way out of this, has Gunther up on his shoulders. [NOISE] >> Gunther lands on his feet now. Now, the power of Gunther, got Randy up for the powerbomb. Gunther into the cover, hook to the leg on Orton. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Gunther believes he's closing in on a victory. >> And it's soul-destroying for Orton, you think you've damaged that arm enough that he cannot pull off the powerbomb, he proved you wrong, he's not as hurt as you thought he was. >> And Gunther, again, with Orton up, just not able to pull it off again. Randy Orton, RKO, RKO, out of nowhere. Cover for the championship, Gunther kicked out. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Bounces Gunther off the steps. [NOISE] >> And again, Randy Orton has taken the fight to Gunther here. >> Well, Randy Orton has turned barbaric and sadistic. >> Yeah, this has just turned into an absolute vicious, all out assault by Randy Orton. [NOISE] >> And now Randy Orton using the steps to his advantage, lifting Gunther up to the top of the steps. [NOISE] >> And driving Gunther through the table. Now Randy's gotta get him back in the ring, Randy, you gotta get him in the ring. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Desperately trying to fill those lungs with oxygen and capable of blocking those shots to the temple, though. >> And the sleeper again and Randy Orton falling from the mouth. Gunther locked in, Randy trying to escape one more time, one more maximum effort with Gunther up on his back. Randy Orton trying to somehow force a break here. >> But Orton's mind must be spinning. >> And he does, and he finally does. >> [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC] >> On his return to his adopted hometown of Berlin, Germany. Family and friends in attendance, over 13,000 strong, wishing him to keep the World Heavyweight title. And in the end, Gunther defeats one of the all time greats in Randy Orton to solidify himself on the top of the mountain in WWE as the World Heavyweight Champion. [MUSIC]
