During a recent episode of “Busted Open After Dark,” renowned ECW icon Tommy Dreamer voiced his admiration for WWE’s handling of the introductory segment on WWE RAW. This segment spotlighted an anticipated confrontation between GUNTHER and Randy Orton. The climax of the episode happened when The Viper threw down a challenge to The Ring General for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship title at 2024 Bash In Berlin.
Dreamer pointed out the importance of the conclusion of their faceoff at 2024’s WWE King Of The Ring. He emphasized how it effectively set the stage for the ensuing championship brawl.
Below are some notable excerpts from this podcast episode:
Commenting on Randy Orton confronting GUNTHER on WWE RAW, Dreamer explained: “We haven’t seen Randy Orton in action for a while. The brilliance of the segment was in its acknowledgement of history… Randy Orton is known for his unpredictable strikes, but he also made an interesting point when he said, ‘I was in your shoes before you were.'”
Regarding the rationale behind WWE’s choice to arrange this matchup, Dreamer revealed: “Triple H was left with no choice but to admit that the referee made a blunder. But in the realm of professional wrestling, we have the ability to turn any scenario around – that’s exactly what they accomplished.”
The 2024 WWE Bash In Berlin is slated to take place at the renowned Uber Arena, located in Berlin, Germany.
