Gunther’s Reign as Intercontinental Champion: A New Challenger Emerges?
Gunther, the Intercontinental Champion, has been maintaining a historic reign since his victory over Ricochet. Despite numerous attempts, no contender has been able to dethrone the Austrian champion. However, recent events on RAW suggest that a formidable challenger might be emerging.
Damian Priest, who recently emerged victorious in a Money In The Bank qualification match against Matt Riddle, could be the next contender. Following his win, Priest had a notable face-off with Gunther, seemingly sizing him up before allowing him to proceed with an attack on Riddle. This interaction could be a subtle hint towards a future title challenge from Priest, regardless of his outcome in the Money In The Bank event.

Gunther’s reign as the Intercontinental Champion has been marked by significant victories against renowned wrestlers such as Shinsuke Nakamura, Rey Mysterio, and Sheamus. His most notable defense was at WrestleMania 39, where he retained his title in a triple-threat match against Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. This successful reign has not only elevated Gunther’s stature but also demonstrated the promotion’s confidence in him.
Recently, Gunther celebrated a significant milestone in his career, marking a year-long reign with the Intercontinental title. This achievement is a testament to his dominance in the ring. Moreover, Gunther is on the brink of making history. If he can retain his title until the first half of September, he will surpass Honky Tonk Man’s record as the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion. Given Gunther’s current dominance, this feat seems achievable and could pave the way for greater opportunities in his career.
