"Gunther won the World Heavyweight Title at SummerSlam by defeating Damian Priest, but his journey there included a controversial King Of The Ring win over Orton in Saudi Arabia.

"After Gunther won the World Title, The Viper shocked the WWE Universe by appearing on Monday Night Raw, revealing that Adam Pearce has granted him a championship opportunity at Bash In Berlin with the winner staying on Raw and the loser going to SmackDown.

"The Ring General welcomed the opportunity, setting the stage for a monumental World Heavyweight Title Match in Germany."

It was previously revealed that the song Ratatata - the collaboration between Babymetal and Electric Callboy - would be the official song of Bash In Berlin, a move which further celebrates WWE’s long history with metal.

Speaking to Metal Hammer earlier this year, WWE superstar Damian Priest said the connection between professional wrestling and heavy metal went "hand-in-hand".

Priest added: "You see a wrestling show, you see a sea of black t-shirts, you go to a metal show, you see a sea of black t-shirts. It's one of those things that's the same kind of character or personality. It's something that, to your point, wrestling and metal aren't normal. It's not the norm. Our fanbases are so passionate. 

"I'm a fan of sports and movies and all types of stuff, but when it comes to both those industries, the passion for a fan to be so immersed in it, I think is a special feeling, and you can't compare it to anything else."
