WWE Bash In Berlin made history in so many ways for the company and that even includes the breaking of a notable record.
Following the CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre strap match which was third on the PLE card, one of the German announcers revealed to the live crowd in the Uber Arena that Bash In Berlin now holds the highest-grossing arena show in the company\'s long history, beating out Clash At The Castle. Triple H originally revealed the news before the PLE, but Cole did note the show was sold out with an attendance number of 13,149.
If the crowd reaction has had any indication as to how well-received the PLE has been so far, the number shouldn\'t be surprising. The Berlin crowd has been fully invested into the show with every competitor three matches in getting big reactions.
Cody Rhodes ended up retaining his WWE Undisputed Championship against Kevin Owens, while Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair once again became the WWE Women\'s Tag Team Champions against The Unholy Union. Then CM Punk finally got his retribution (and his bracelet), winning his strap match against McIntyre. The full card for Bash In Berlin also includes Rhea Ripley & Damian Priest vs. Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan as well as GUNTHER vs. Randy Orton for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
It might be several months before WWE potentially reaches such a number again for an arena, but the company is certainly riding plenty of momentum in 2024 and they got a returning PLE forthcoming in WWE Bad Blood.
