I think Chad beating him would make a better story, but I feel like Jey HAS to win a midcard title soon.

Gable's long overdue for a midcard title win, too, IMO.
Gable winning the IC Title and Jey beating Seth, Nakamura (lol) or Priest for the WHC would work for me.

Gonna vote for Chad... cause they can't just giving him thes big blockbuster matches that the crowd gets behind him with and then do literally nothing with him.
Jimmy/Jey doesn't need a title involved.. also we're like 6 months away from Mania... that's more than enough time for Jimmy to win it for the match...

Although I will revise my post.
I can see WWE giving it either to Brock, because the fans WANT Brock vs. GUNTHER.
Or give it to John Cena, the one title that has eluded Cena for years.

Gable.
Jey could easily be world champ within the next 6-12 months. I feel like he's already kinda above the IC title with how over he is.

Jey should be going after the top title on RAW so yeah, he should be the one to dethrone Gunther.

No one. GUNTHER will remain Intercontinental Champion as he wins the Royal Rumble. Then, he will dethrone Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship, forcing him to vacate the Intercontinental Championship like The Ultimate Warrior in 1990.

Otis could be an interesting choice as well.

I wouldn't give Jey the IC because the title will take an immediate backseat to whatever the next step in the Bloodline drama is instead of being a catalyst for storylines and spotlight on a talent to progress.
If we have to give Jey some accolade, let him win a one night King of the Ring or something.
The story of Gable dethroning Gunther right now for his first singles title is too good. Then maybe we get Gable vs Cena by some way, and Gunther moves on to Rollins.

I’d have Gable win the title later in the year. Jey can mix it up in the main event scene, face his brother at Mania and then maybe fight for a world title in 2024.

I'm very interested when Alpha Academy is on and I'm completely tuned out whenever the Bloodline is on, so for me, Chad or Otis.

I’m leaning towards Chad. I just don’t think Jey really needs it and I think it would become a great underdog story if Chad does it. Not that I wouldn’t mark if Jey beats Gunther.
I am worried that Chad beats Gunther and Otis immediately turns on him but we’ll cross that bridge if it happens.

Brock vs. Gunther is a match that sells itself and needs no title, especially if you have it as Brock’s final match and it’s Big Daddy Gunther seeing him off to become the new big monster of WWE.

I'd rather it be Ilja, as I like the idea of a world beater having that ONE GUY they just can't get past.
But of the two I'd prefer Jey to get it.
As much as I like Gable, and like to watch him wrestle (and props to him for surviving that Shorty G bullshit), I also find him equally as annoying as a character.
Granted if he does win the title I won't be too upset. I just think Jey has more upside longterm.

To be honest, as much as I've loved this reign, if GUNTHER loses the title by vacating it or without getting pinned it'd almost sour me on the whole thing.

I don’t think that Jey needs a midcard title. It would probably better serve the story if he beat Rollins and then he’s a champ like Roman. It’s probably the only thing that will raise the raw title to anywhere near Roman’s belt. Then do a non-title champ vs. champ match at SurSer and have Jey go over. Then the Bloodline can cost him the title at the Rumble before he starts a quest to beat Roman. Throw Cody in there somewhere too. lol
Gable or Otis beating Gunther is probably the way to go, but I don’t think that the WWE thinks they’re important enough. So it will probably be Bron Breakker. 😂
