I love the angle idea of Gunther chopping down every past IC champion en route to becoming the longest reigning of all time Just have him beat everyone ever honestly I'm 100% here for it If that means we get a Gunther graveyard tour where he chops the tombstones of deceased champions into pieces, I'm 133 1/3% for it. this is why we have necromancy and holograms Ken Patera better count his f***ing days

I do wonder what the end game is for this reign. GUNTHER should be a WHC contender soon. The question is, how do you get the IC title off of him, and keep him credible enough to face Rollins for the WHC? I guess you could do a multi man match. But ideally I'd have him lose in a hard fought war, then go away for a couple of weeks. Come back pissed off and rack up wins till he gets a shot at Rollins. You could then have the guy who beat him for the IC be one of his first challengers for the World title, and have GUNTHER get his win back there. You could go the Ultimate Warrior route and have him beat Rollins Title Vs. Title. IC title gets vacated but it re-establishes the belt as the road to the main event scene, and Gunther is automatically established as an absolute force of nature and a dominant world champion. That would be the best scenario both for Gunther and also how to end the Roman Reigns reign.

372+ days. No challenger has been lined up yet for GUNTHER. Once Cody is finished with Dom and Lesnar; I wouldn't mind him against GUNTHER GUNTHER is the perfect guy to give him his first "clean L" and be a sort of kryptonite to Cody. Would set up well for future WWE title matches

Pedro Morales - 8th August 2023 - 40 Days Time.
Honky Tonk Man - 7th September 2023 - 70 Days Time.

It's kind of insane how close he's getting. He really may do it.

I think Dragunov is the end of this reign, and yeah, wouldn't be shocked if it's Mania when Gunther drops it. Once he drops it, he's going into the main event scene. So he can drop it, win some matches and we get Cody vs Gunther for the title at SummerSlam. And they play up their Rumble encounter leading to the match.

I don't like needlessly long reigns but I'd be happy for him to take the all-time IC record. He's so close to it they might as well do it now

At this point, I would be very disappointed if he didn't break the record.

He's so close to it they might as well do it now I don't, either, but his has felt more earned than most of these. Helps that he doesn't just disappear or constantly need his stablemates to do everything for him. It also helps midcard titles are much easier to line up challengers for.
