WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther displayed his distaste for games after this week’s episode of SmackDown. This edition of the blue brand began with a tag team match between The Brawling Brutes and Imperium, with both tandems fighting to gain momentum. Ultimately, the Brutes captured the victory over their counterparts after Sheamus defeated Giovanni Vinci with the Brogue Kick.
Gunther’s comments on SmackDown LowDown
During the SmackDown LowDown, Megan Morant interviewed Imperium. The IC Champ noted that Sheamus might have won earlier in the evening, but he fell short when it mattered most – at WrestleMania. Gunther emphasized that the faction was focused on its mission of restoring prestige to wrestling, stating:
“We are laser-focused on our mission. And that is to protect and restore the honor of this great sport. We are Imperium and to us the mat is sacred.”
Gunther’s WWE achievements
Since debuting on the main roster in 2021, Gunther has impressed fans and fellow wrestlers alike with his hard-hitting style. After claiming the Intercontinental Championship from Ricochet, he embarked on a dominant reign. Gunther has faced and triumphed over fierce competitors such as Sheamus, Rey Mysterio, Braun Strowman, Madcap Moss, and even Drew McIntyre.
Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship reign
At WrestleMania this year, Gunther successfully retained his title by defeating Sheamus and McIntyre in a triple-threat match. He is currently in his 302nd day as Intercontinental Champion, showing no signs of stopping. It remains to be seen who will challenge The Ring General next in the squared circle.
