Pictures taken a split second before disaster...

Sami goes up top for a dive and even fights a rampaging Breakker back down to the mat. As he goes for...something, he's cut clear in two by a Bron Breakker spear!!

Bron Breakker defeats Sami Zayn via pinfall to win the match 2-1.

Sami goes for the exploder in the corner, but Breakker counters with one of his own. He whiffs the spear as Sami jumps but responds with a leaping knee that almost takes Sami's head off.

As Breakker goes for another spear, Sami counters with a big boot!! 1-2-Breakker kicks out!

Breakker takes Sami up for possibly another Breakkensteiner, but Sami turns it into a sunset flip powerbomb!! 1-2-NO!! Breakker somehow kicks out!

After that, Bron keeps the pressure up. He takes Sami over to the announcer's desk and flies from the apron with a leaping clothesline. Sami seems like he's out cold. Miraculously, he beats the 10-count, much to the chagrin of the Intercontinental Champion.

Back in the ring, Breakker launches Sami across the ring with a Frankensteiner. After a Gorilla Press Slam, Breakker flattens Sami with not one, but two spears!! Just like that, we're tied up!

Bron Breakker pins Sami Zayn to even the score at 1-1.

On the floor, Zayn goes for another tornado DDT off the barricade. Bron catches him and runs him to the other side of the ring, sending him flying into the time keeper's area!! I'm not sure how Sami Zayn is still conscious!!

Breakker hits a clothesline in the corner, but when he runs across the ring, Sami follows for the Helluva Kick!! Sami gets a point!

Sami Zayn pins Bron Breakker to advance 1-0.

Sami responds with a springboard tornado DDT, spiking the champion for a two-count! Breakker blocks the Blue Thunder Bomb and sends Zayn overhead with a German suplex. The crowd barks as Breakker fires up.

When we return from the break, Breakker is getting in Sami's face. "You're gonna take this way from me?? I don't think so!!" Breakker is hammering Sami with elbows. Sami goes for a leapfrog over a running Breakker, but the champ catches him with a quick spinebuster!!

Bron attempts to take Sami down fast in the opening seconds. Sami weathers the storm and takes Bron to the floor where he rocks him with a tope!! The Underdog from the Underground will NOT die so easily!

Next up is the main event! Bron Breakker vs. Sami Zayn in a 2-out-of-3 falls match for the Intercontinental Title!

Dom's not gonna make it out of Berlin is he?

Ahead of this Intercontinental Title Match, we get some huge news. Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest will take on Dirty Dom and Liv Morgan in a mixed tag match at Bash in Berlin!!

Next week, The Unholy Union will defend against Damage CTRL and Pure Fusion Collective!

Pictured: Pearce seriously considering maybe, possibly, suspending Bronson Reed...maybe.

After three Tsunamis, Pearce threatens to suspend Reed. The big man feints leaving but goes back for a fourth Tsunami.

After the match, Reed goes for another Tsunami. R-Truth attempts to save his partner, but that just leads to Reed flattening Truth instead with a flying crossbody. Reed then hits a Tsunami on Truth. Another one. And another. Michael Cole calls Truth a national treasure as WWE officials drag Truth out of harm's way.

Adam Pearce attempts to scold Reed, but the psychotic monster does not care.

Miz pelts Reed with the It Kicks, but they do nothing. Miz does manage to catch Reed in the corner with his flying clothesline. However, a springboard attempt leads to a catch and a Death Valley Driver for Reed. After that, the Tsunami ends it.

Bronson Reed defeats The Miz via pinfall.

Bronson Reed starts things off with The Miz by bowling him over with ease. During the break, the Colossal One continues to keep pressure on the two-time Grand Slam Champion. Miz manages to shake off the big man and send him to the floor, where he hits a wrecking ball dropkick and a diving axe handle.

Back inside the ring, Miz spikes Reed with a tilt-a-whirl DDT!

CM Punk is interviewed backstage and seems to hint at a strap match as his next bout with Drew McIntyre. It's been a while since we've seen one on the main roster. The last time WWE has had one at all, though, was last September when Eddy Thorpe took on Dijak in NXT.

Backstage, Sheamus is confronted by Ludwig Kaiser. Before they could get into anything, Pete Dunne attacks The Celtic Warrior. He cracks Sheamus' hand with the shillelagh, seemingly breaking it.

Orton drops Gunther, and CM Punk takes out Drew McIntyre!!

The man's just waiting for a reason to RKO Gunther

Drew aims to whip Punk with his belt, but Punk takes it out of his hands. The Voice of the Voiceless pelts Drew repeatedly with his own belt! I smell a strap match coming!

Gunther turns to look at Drew McIntyre, and Orton takes the opportunity to strike! RKO to Gunther!!

Drew takes his shirt off and looks to go after the Viper, but CM Punk arrives!!

Gunther attempts to press Orton's buttons. He says Randy's grandfather was a screw-up, his father was a screw-up, and he's the biggest screw-up of them all. Before they can come to blows, Drew McIntyre's music hits. Why is he here??

Gunther tells Randy that he's not unpredictable. In fact, he's VERY predictable.

Prediction #1: He's going to give Randy the beating of his life.
Prediction #2: Randy will never be World Heavyweight Champion again.

Gunther says that when it really, really matters, Randy screws it all up. Considering the 14 world titles in Randy's trophy case, I'd hardly call that fair.

"I've got five beautiful kids. I've got a smoking hot wife waiting for me at home. I'm a soon-to-be 15-time World Champion. I appreciate your opinion, but I think I've done pretty damn good for myself."

Well said, Randall.

Randy stops the World Champion. "I think you forgot who you're talking to..." Randy reminds him that not only is he one of the greatest champions in the history of the business. He's also one of the most dangerous.

Randy Orton is out next. The Viper says that he's going to Bash In Berlin and walking away as a 15-time World Champion. Gunther interrupts before it can go any further. Randy tells the crowd to take a picture, as this is the last time this crowd will see Gunther with the title before Randy beats him for it in Berlin.

Gunther agrees. The crowd should take a picture of one of the greatest of all time, Randy Orton. Though...Randy SHOULD have been THE GOAT. He took his potential for granted and wasted it.

"Isn't that the guy that killed Seth?" "YES"

Randy pumps The A-Lister up. He tells Miz that he's a two-time Grand Slam Champion, one of the most decorated stars in WWE history. When Miz walks off fired up, Truth asks if Randy thinks he can win. Randy sucks his teeth. No confidence in Miz at all.

Truth: "Isn't that the guy that killed Seth?"
Miz: "YES"

Randy Orton walks up and sees the screen.
Randy: "Isn't that the guy that killed Seth?"
Miz: "YES"

Backstage, R-Truth tells The Miz that he got him a huge opportunity. Tonight, Miz takes on Bron!! "Wait...isn't Bron defending against Sami tonight?" That's when we see it on a TV. Miz is facing Bron...son Reed!

Unfortunately, this whiff was caught on camera.

The Genius of the Sky showing what a real missile dropkick looks like

Sonya Deville distracts the ref when SKY goes for the Over the Moonsault. Zoey and SKY brawl to the floor, and a superkick from Zoey accidentally catches Alba Fyre.

Back in the ring, the Unholy Union breaks up a pinfall after SKY hits the Over the Moonsault.

Damage CTRL v.s Pure Fusion Collective ends in a No Contest.

Shayna gets back in and nearly takes SKY's skull off with a running knee after...completely missing one.

Kairi Sane counters a suplex with a DDT, leading to IYO SKY and Zoey Stark getting in the ring. The former SmackDown Women's Champion fires up on her rivals and catches both Zoey and Shayna with a springboard dropkick! The Bullet Train rocks Zoey in the corner for a near fall.

Shayna Baszler tags out to Zoey Stark, and the duo works over Kairi Sane. Baszler catches the Pirate Princess with a backbreaker and holds her still for a sliding clothesline from Stark, a nasty combination.
