Triple H thanks fans in Germany following WWE Raw, SmackDown

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Paul “Triple H” Levesque sent out a message today thanking fans in Germany for their hospitality while hosting the most recent episodes of WWE SmackDown and Raw.

On WWE’s ongoing European tour, Berlin hosted SmackDown last Friday and Dusseldorf hosted Raw this Monday. Levesque called both cities “incredible” and said he’s already excited to come back the next time WWE holds shows there.

“Thank you to everyone who made #Smackdown & #WWERaw in Berlin & Düsseldorf special,” Levesque wrote. “Two incredible cities to host @WWE’s first international TV events of 2026. Already excited to return. @WWEDeutschland”

WWE still has one more stop in Germany on this tour, a house show that’s being held in Mannheim today. The company then heads to the United Kingdom for SmackDown in London, England this Friday and Raw in Belfast, Northern Ireland next Monday.

The SmackDown event in Berlin saw a huge title change with Drew McIntyre defeating Cody Rhodes in a Three Stages of Hell match to become the new WWE Champion. McIntyre will be on Friday’s show in London for his first SmackDown appearance as champion.

This European tour is happening in advance of the 2026 Royal Rumble, which is taking place from Saudi Arabia on Saturday, January 31. WWE is also heading to Canada for a few events before the Rumble, including Saturday Night’s Main Event in Montreal on January 24.

Submitted by reader @sebibru

– Finn Balor defeated Bray Wyatt

The finish came after Balor hit the Coup de Grace.

– Apollo Crews & Titus O’Neil defeated Curt Hawkins & Goldust

O’Neil got the pin for his team with the Clash of the Titus.

– Asuka defeated Dana Brooke

Brooke tapped out to the Asuka Lock.

– WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore defeated Kalisto to retain his title

– Samoa Joe defeated Jason Jordan

Joe won with the Coquina Clutch, then shook Jordan’s hand after the match.

– Braun Strowman defeated Kane by DQ

The disqualification came when Kane used a chair. Strowman then countered a chokeslam and gave Kane a powerslam through a table.

– Bayley & Sasha Banks defeated Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss & Alicia Fox

Banks got the submission with the Banks Statement.

– Intercontinental Champion The Miz (w/ Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas) defeated Matt Hardy to retain his title

Miz poked Hardy in the eyes and hit the Skull Crushing Finale to retain.

– Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro & Sheamus defeated The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) and Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose to retain their titles

Cesaro pinned Kingston for the finish. After the match, Rollins got on the mic and put over The New Day for their performance. He wanted to shake hands with them, but The New Day attacked him and Ambrose. That led to Cesaro, Sheamus, Balor, and Samoa Joe making the save.

They all beat up New Day. Big E got a Brogue Kick, Kofi got a Coup de Grace, and Woods got the Cesaro Swing and the Shield powerbomb. Joe did Reigns’ part in the powerbomb after Ambrose told him what to do, which was pretty funny. 

Rollins cut a short promo saying that SmackDown should consider this as a warning and said they’d see them at Survivor Series. The New Day were still laying down for another five minutes after everyone left the ring, with security helping them to get up and go backstage.
