WWE may have only just taken off from Europe following Backlash France and Clash at the Castle: Scotland, but the famed promotion is already primed for a return this August when they descend upon Germany for Bash in Berlin.
The first supercard event on pay-per-view to be held in the central European nation. It represents the latest visit abroad on a busy 2024 schedule that has seen them travel as far as Perth in Australia and back to the United States.
However, this latest stop across the Atlantic is poised to be another blockbuster affair between the stars of RAW and SmackDown, with the latter brand hosting its Friday night show the evening before in the German capital.
Throw in a special house show tour through the Netherlands, Belgium and more in the buildup, and this latest PPV has all the hallmarks of another WWE classic in the making.

FAQs
What is the next WWE pay-per-view after WWE Bash in Berlin?
The next WWE pay-per-view after Backlash France in 2024 is scheduled to be Crown Jewel, which is set to be held at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, November 2.
It marks the promotion’s return to the country just months after King and Queen of the Ring was held in Jeddah and forms the latest part of WWE’s ten-year partnership with Saudi Arabia, having previously held the event there last year, too.
Will The Rock return to WWE in 2024?
After several years where he made only sporadic appearances following his move to a career in film and television, The Rock made a seismic return to the ring ahead of WrestleMania XL and subsequently topped the bill on night one.
Dwayne Johnson’s heel turn helped ease what many fans saw as an unneeded return, but his continued presence as a regular feature is unlikely this year as he shoots his latest film, The Smashing Machine.
