Gunther says nobody can take the WWE Intercontinental Championship from him.
Gunther won the WWE Intercontinental Championship by defeating Ricochet on the June 10, 2022, episode of WWE SmackDown. Following his win over Chad Gable on the September 4 episode of WWE Raw, Gunther is set to break The Honky Tonk Man's record for the longest reign (454 days).
In a WWE Raw Exclusive, Gunther commented on his victory.
“What’s going through my mind? I’m not surprised. From the moment on I won this prestigious championship, I saw the vision. I envisioned this very moment, that I’m the one to redefine history, redefine the legacy of the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. I heard them talking, I heard them discussing their childhood heroes, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels. I heard them them talk about Steve Austin, The Rock. The reality is, when that bell rings, they all can come line up and lace my boots. Because as long as I’m alive, there’s no man born yet to take this title off me again," Gunther said.
