WWE taped matches and segments at the Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany for the 8/30/24 episode of SmackDown that will air on FOX.
Below are the spoilers, courtesy of F4WOnline.
A video played with Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton arriving at the arena airs.
Michael Cole and Wade Barrett were on commentary.
LA Knight open challenge segment
Knight comes out to a huge pop. The German fans love him and there were chants of LA Knight Yeah! all throughout the arena before the show started.
He talks about it took WWE 27 years to come back for a major televised event (they taped Raw back in February 1997 and had the finals of the European championship in Berlin back then). Since Berlin is the capital of Germany, let’s call the US, the capital title.
Ludwig Kaiser answered the open challenge and the roof blew off the building as the local hero comes to the ring. He said it is the best in Germany and will rename the title the European championship. Knight said he won’t let Kaiser win the title.

Face to Face: Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens
Nick Aldis is in the ring. He played a highlight reel of the recent European tour and then thanked the fans in German for their support.
Kevin Owens is out next to another very good reaction. Cody, of course, is madly beloved as the crowd sings his song and some indoor pyro goes off.
Kevin actually asks Cody what he wants to talk about and Cody says the championship. Kevin said he wants to talk about something else, an apparent knee injury Cody suffered during the recent European tour leading up to Bash in Berlin. Cody brought up that last week, it looked like KO was about to hit him with the title belt.
Cody said that maybe Owens gets too little credit and he himself gets too much. Owens brought up the knee again and Cody starts getting pissed. Owens said that if the knee is fine, why didn’t Cody take a knee as he usually does during his entrance. There is some more back and forth and then Owens talked about first winning the title 8 years ago.
Cody asks if they will still be friends after tomorrow. Kevin dropped the mic, whispers something into Cody’s ear and leaves, while Cody looks flustered.
