In a recent interview with Metro ahead of WWE SummerSlam 2023, GUNTHER noted that he has absolutely no desire to work a potential segment with WWE Hall of Famer The Honky Tonk Man if he breaks his record as the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of all Time. GUNTHER said,
“No, I don’t think so. I think he had his time, he’s still got the record — it’s not broken, we will see what happens. I think I operate on a different level than him when it comes to what we do in the ring. I think my presentation’s very different, and also how I carry myself. I think it would just not be a good fit. I don’t think anybody would benefit from that.”
GUNTHER has held the WWE Intercontinental Title for 421 days thus far. The Ring General is a month way from surpassing The Honky Tonk Man’s record as champion at 454 days.
At WWE SummerSlam 2023, GUNTHER defeated Drew McIntyre to retain his title.
