Gunther is proud of his reign.
Gunther is the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion of all-time and has carried the title with a prestige that has reminded fans of the glory years when the title was known as the Workhorse Title.
Speaking to Phil Strum on Under The Ring, Gunther was asked about his reign and bringing a prestige to the title.
"The work and performances that I put into my reign is what makes my reign special. That basically sums it up. It's one of the most prestigious titles that has lost a lot of steam in the last years. On one hand, it's on management to decide how prominent the title should feature. On the other hand, it's on the champion to put in the performances that forces management to represent the title prominently. I'm very proud of the work I've put into it. I'm still in the middle of it, a lot of records have been broken along the way. The status it has right now and what makes it special is because I'm the champion and I've put the work in," said Gunther.
Gunther has defended the title against the likes of Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Chad Gable, and more.
He is set to defend the title against The Miz at WWE Survivor Series. Fans can check out the current lineup for WWE SummerSlam by clicking here.
