Gunther explains why he feels confident ahead of his title match against Jey Uso.
On the February 12 episode of WWE Raw, Jey Uso and the New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) defeated Imperium (Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser, and Giovanni Vinci). Later in the show, WWE announced that Uso will challenge Gunther for the WWE Intercontinental Championship on the February 19 episode of WWE Raw.
In a WWE Raw Exclusive, Gunther addressed Imperium's loss and looked ahead to his match against Uso.
“I think objectively, we have to have to look at the rivalry with the New Day. I think this whole thing’s a marathon, not a sprint. But honestly, the New Day and Jey Uso are both two of the most successful tag team wrestlers in the history of this company, and we lost to the better team today. That’s fine. Next week, Jey Uso’s challenging me for the Intercontinental Heavy Championship. It’s gonna be interesting. Because this time, Jey cannot share the burden of being successful. Jey will fully rely on himself, and he will face somebody that, unlike him, has achieved everything on his own. So I’m not worried at all," Gunther said.
