GUNTHER retained against Randy Orton, but ‘The Viper’ did something surprising to close out Bash In Berlin.
Orton lost clean to ‘The Ring General’ after he was choked out via several sleeper hold attempts. The match however, was a lot in favor to Orton as GUNTHER was actually the one to fight underneath against the future WWE Hall of Famer.
Randy was really soaking it in with the record-breaking crowd in Berlin, Germany as the main event got underway and he gave it to GUNTHER in so many ways. Orton ended up hitting a RKO on GUNTHER.
During the Bash In Berlin post-show, Cody Rhodes took a moment to thank both Orton and GUNTHER “for the house” tonight in Berlin and they did deliver for a hot crowd. Orton performed a massive spot on GUNTHER at ringside when he set up steel steps to deliver an elevated belly-to-back suplex through the commentary table.
Orton was ready to strike once again when the action got back into the ring, but GUNTHER corrected course and did cinch in his patented sleeper hold. Orton fought free briefly but GUNTHER kept in control and got Randy to pass out.
After the fight, GUNTHER took a moment to extend a hand to Orton and Randy accepted the handshake without any treachory following it.
Following Randy’s exit, GUNTHER spoke in German to the fans and while it still needs to be translated in English, he did mention Triple H in his speech.
