WWE WrestleMania 40: 20 Things That Must Happen

20. Sami Zayn Ends GUNTHER’s Run

How's this for a kick off?!

GUNTHER has been a record-breaking success story as Intercontinental Champ. The burly Austrian has deservedly etched his name into WWE history books, but now it's time for him to let someone else lug that secondary strap around. Who better for that spot than one Sami Zayn?

The beloved babyface shone as an unlikely member of The Bloodline, and he's worked cracking bouts at back-to-back WrestleManias; one against Johnny Knoxville, and one alongside Kevin Owens vs. The Usos. Now, Sami can grab IC gold and furnish that title's legacy with another memorable moment to sit alongside the likes of Steamboat vs. Savage in 1987, or GUNTHER's own heroics opposite Drew McIntyre and Sheamus.

Chad Gable was surely considered for this spot, but Sami feels worthy. He's exactly the kind of cherished baby fans would accept as a GUNTHER-conquerer. For some, this is defo preferable to the scrapped Brock Lesnar clash that ended before it got started on TV.
