It is expected to mark Ludwig Kaiser’s in-ring return in his home country Germany, after weeks of hiatus due to undisclosed injury. The dark matches are exclusive only to the live audience at the Uber Arena on August 30th, and won’t be officially telecasted by WWE. However, we can watch the other televised matches all around the world from the venue with a tape delay or live.

Before the inaugural Bash in Berlin PLE, Gunther will be facing Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2024. On the other hand, Sami Zayn is expected to defend his title against Bron Brekker & Ilja Dragunov at SummerSlam 2024.
