WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER is immensely confident that he’d be a double champion if he challenged World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
Today marks GUNTHER’s 600th day as Intercontinental Champion. He has held the title since June of 2022 and boasts the longest individual record in the title’s history.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, GUNTHER was asked about a potential showdown with Rollins. He said,
“I always thought that scenario would be interesting with me and Seth in there, The Intercontinental Champion versus the World Heavyweight Champion. Actually, in that scenario it all works out how I would like it: I would be the only one able to walk out with both titles.”
It has been speculated that GUNTHER could replace CM Punk as Rollins’ WrestleMania 40 challenger as the Best in the World will miss the event due to a triceps injury.
On this week’s episode of WWE RAW, Rollins tried to convince Cody Rhodes to challenge him at WrestleMania instead of Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
RAW also saw GUNTHER retain the Intercontinental Championship against Kofi Kingston. After the match, GUNTHER said he will forever be the greatest Intercontinental Champion.
