The WWE Raw episode opens with the traditional video introduction, "Then. Now. Forever. Together." followed by a shot of the packed Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany. The show, which takes place just weeks before the Bash in Berlin event, highlights the arrivals of various WWE stars, including CM Punk, Women’s Tag Team Champions The Unholy Union, and others gearing up for their matches. Randy Orton, set to face Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at the upcoming event, enters the ring to a thunderous ovation, eager to address the crowd. Orton promises to claim the title in Berlin and retaliate for Gunther’s personal attacks on his family, escalating their rivalry. Gunther soon joins Orton in the ring, greeted by boos from the audience as he attempts to belittle Orton's legacy and threats. Despite the crowd's interruptions, Gunther vows to leave Orton a “bloody mess” at the Bash in Berlin, claiming Orton is nothing more than a "one-trick pony." The tension mounts as Orton prepares to fight, only to be ambushed by Ludwig Kaiser, Gunther’s ally, resulting in a brutal beatdown that leaves Orton on the mat, further stoking the rivalry between the two superstars. The show then shifts focus to another brewing rivalry as Sheamus, still nursing an injured hand, prepares for his match against Pete Dunne. Despite Dunne's relentless attacks targeting Sheamus' injured hand, Sheamus manages to overpower Dunne, delivering his signature Brogue Kick for the win. This victory is followed by an intense backstage interaction between Odyssey Jones and The New Day, highlighting internal tensions within the team. Meanwhile, a video package showcases WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker’s dominance, setting the stage for his future confrontations. In another segment, CM Punk enters the ring, brandishing a leather strap as he issues a challenge to Drew McIntyre for a Strap Match at Bash in Berlin. Punk reflects on the strong fan support he has received, using it as motivation against McIntyre. He accuses McIntyre of personal attacks, particularly regarding his family, and vows to leave him scarred at the upcoming event. McIntyre responds by accepting the challenge, promising a violent confrontation, further heating up their ongoing feud. The episode concludes with a 6-Man Tag Team match featuring The New Day and Odyssey Jones against The Final Testament. Despite internal team friction, Jones secures the win for his team, but the victory does little to alleviate the growing tension between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. Backstage, Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley discuss their plans for their matches at Bash in Berlin, emphasizing their commitment to defeating their opponents. The show ends with tributes to wrestling legend Afa of The Wild Samoans and UFC champion Robbie Lawler, blending nostalgia with the anticipation of upcoming WWE battles.
