Gunther/Walter/BadAss

[Hunch back of Notredomus]

Who should take the title off of Gunther? Maybe Punk then start another program with Rollins and take his title?

[Gerard Gerard]

Really felt like it'd be LA Knight until Logan Paul got the US title and that seems like a much more natural feud. It'd be nice for someone like Gable to finally put a bow on his run on a big stage, but nothing in Gable's presentation since his last attempt at the IC title seems to indicate they're interested in keeping him hot fo later plans. Jimmy Uso is another one but he's showdown with Jey doesn't need a belt.

Basically, no idea and I've managed to convince myself there's no one ready of it quite yet and he should be champion forever.

At this point I think it needs to be a former world champ that is crazy credible. Drew would have been great. Gunther moves up still looking like a main event and the IC Title keeps a prestige holder that can elevate someone.

I wouldn’t hate that. I really want LA knight to have it or the US championship but I really don’t see him getting past the US championship. I don’t think he’ll be a world champ.

For sure. Gunther has definitely give the IC prestige.

I think the reason Gunther has been champ for so long was not enough limes. Now, if only there was someone with too many limes...Anyone know when Sheamus comes back?
Can they rehire The Bearcat Kieth Lee and do Gunther vs The Bearcat?
The biggest fear is once Gunther drops the belt, the title goes back into the island of irrelevance. If that's the plan there was no more irrelevant IC champ than good ol' Shinsuke Nakamura!
I also legit want Otis to win that belt.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't Jey Uso.

Wouldnt mind that. Don’t hate it

[BayleyTiffyCodyCenaJudyHopps]

Man, I thought this thread was a name change for Gunther and I was thinking at first like “Billy Gunn’s gonna be mad.”

Pretty easy feud to write. GUNTHER runs Jey down, says everything he’s ever gotten was through his family and he’s nothing on his own, Jey proves him wrong and gets his first singles title. Everybody dances!!

[ppl591]

I hope he faces lesnar at mania and wins then he can drop it post mania and move up

Pretty much. Jey’s at the perfect level to beat him. He’s the “up and coming” popular underdog babyface. Winning the IC belt is what his role “needs”.

I think it hinges on if the Brock match happens at Mania, cuz no way I see GUNTHER being IC champ going into that match. If that happens, he drops it. If it doesn’t, wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps it.

[mrbananagrabber]

I’m still gutted it wasn’t Chad Gable, and now he’s back to being a goober again.

[ChitownKnight]

I think it’s gonna be Jey but not until Summerslam after he hits 2 years

[polarbearpete]

Gunther beats Lesnar at Mania. Jey beats Gunther a couple of months later. Gunther moves on to the world title picture.

[Soultastic]

If not Chad Gable, then Dragunov or Tyler Bate

[Main Event Mark]

Sheamus and Cena need that IC title to add to their accolades.

Miz to get to the record.

But it could really help make someone on the rise like Jey or LA Knight to dethrone Gunther.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

Okay, I realise I am on shaky ground here saying this because I have gone on record saying that I will laugh if Punk fails in WWE

But giving the longest IC title run's rub to broken down old Phil is a f***ing appalling idea. Phil got signed entirely because he doesn't need any more rubs. He's one of the greatest to ever do it, and one of the few real stars left in the business

Absolutely give it to someone fresh, get someone over with it for f***'s sake. Hell, give it to Dom Mysterio or LA Knight

Dragunov would be neat, especially if they use their history. Have Gunther show concern, not fear, over Ilja arriving and it grows until he wins a shot at the IC Title.
