Vince McMahon was reportedly set to demote GUNTHER before retiring from day-to-day WWE business last July. Mercifully, that didn't happen, and the 'Ring General' went on to have some of the best matches 2022 could've thrown up against Sheamus, Rey Mysterio and others.

There's still time for Vinnie to get his way.

GUNTHER should come out of 'Mania 39 with his fab IC Title reign intact. Neither Sheamus nor Drew McIntyre need that strap quite as much as him, and there's simply no call to end the glory of his run quite yet. So, leave it to McMahon - he could argue that GUNTHER's time has come post-supershow.

This is a callback to the previous entry about Bad Bunny, which you're still probably reeling from. It'd be the most Vin-man thing ever if a celeb gatecrashed GUNTHER's stunning Intercontinental Title stint and the Imperium leader saw his prospects for more WWE main roster success dwindle.

Does anybody have some Rennies?
