During Saturday’s WWE WrestleMania 40 (Night One) pay-per-view event, Sami Zayn defeated GUNTHER to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
Zayn endured a brutal beatdown at the hands of GUNTHER but that didn’t stop him from having the last laugh.
Just when an overconfident GUNTHER began toying with Zayn, The Underdog From Underground delivered a brainbuster off the ropes and two Helluva Kicks to end The Ring General’s historic 666-day title reign.
This is Sami’s fourth reign as the WWE Intercontinental Champion. He was the person that Ricochet originally beat to become champion two years ago in March 2022. GUNTHER later won the title from Ricochet and etched his name in the history of WWE.
