In a seismic shift within the world of professional wrestling, Gunther, the indomitable Intercontinental Champion, has not only etched his name in the annals of WWE history as the longest-reigning champion but has also become the outspoken critic of the legendary figures who paved the way before him.
The latest name in Gunther’s crosshairs is none other than the iconic Ultimate Warrior.
During a candid interview on The Bump, the Austrian powerhouse pulled no punches, labeling the Hall of Famer as nothing more than a “showman” who lacked the athleticism and professional wrestling prowess that defines the sport.
“In those times, the real dark ages of our sport, he was a showman. Not an athlete, not a professional wrestler. Now, it’s my responsibility to cleanse the title’s reputation and set a new standard by holding it longer than anyone in history,” Gunther declared with unbridled conviction.

Gunther’s scathing commentary adds a layer of controversy to his already record-breaking reign as the Intercontinental Champion. The lineage of the prestigious title, once graced by the likes of the Honky Tonk Man, Randy Savage, and Mr. Perfect, is now under the stewardship of a man determined to redefine its legacy.
As the WWE Universe grapples with Gunther’s unfiltered take on the legends of yesteryear, a new challenge looms on the horizon. Survivor Series promises to be a battleground where the Intercontinental Title will be fiercely contested.
Gunther, in all his glory, is set to defend his championship against none other than The Miz, adding another chapter to his storied rivalry.
However, the road to Survivor Series has not been without its share of drama. A recent number one contender’s match, marred by unexpected chaos, saw Ricochet suffering a concussion that led to a botched finish.
The confusion in the ring extended beyond the ropes, resonating even at the announce desk. The ripple effect of this unforeseen incident has left the WWE Universe on edge, eagerly anticipating how this will impact the impending clash at Survivor Series.
