Bash in Berlin takes place later today and, during last night's SmackDown, Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens exchanged words one final time before their Undisputed WWE Championship match. 

While things started friendly, the tension between the two friends soon increased, particularly after KO pointed out the fact the American Nightmare is dealing with a knee injury. 

Later admitting that his Universal Championship reign was a disappointment, KO clearly didn't appreciate Rhodes saying his WrestleMania return had overshadowed Owens' match with Stone Cold Steve Austin and didn't answer Cody when he asked if they'd still be friends after their match.

KO did, however, whisper something to Rhodes, making this babyface vs. babyface bout even more exciting. Less compelling is the fact The Bloodlline's Solo Sikoa has called dibs on whoever wins! 

In the main event, Michin challenged Nia Jax for the Women's Championship in a Street Fight. 

Tiffany Stratton made her way to the ring and once again contemplated chasing in before Jax spotted her. She then continued attacking Michin, prompting Bayley to make her WWE return to drive Tiffy off. 

Alas, that distraction led to the Irresistible Force putting Yim through a table with a Samoan Drop. She also crushed her in a trash can with her finisher for the win, and the match proved suitably entertaining while furthering even more storylines in the women's division.
