Is this going to happen at WrestleMania? The heart says yes but the head says no. However, the mere fact that GUNTHER got to go nose-to-nose with Brock Lesnar during his 'Iron Man' Rumble performance is very promising for the reigning IC Champ. Lesnar doesn't just work with anybody, y'know.

Ask Matt Riddle.

Brock vs. Bobby Lashley is a rematch WWE seems intent on booking, which is fine, but they shouldn't discard the thought of Lesnar challenging for the Intercontinental Title someday. That'd raise the profile of the belt, and it'd fit the story of GUNTHER being challenged by increasingly-harder opponents as time goes on.

Plus, can you imagine the physicality of a match like that? Brock would certainly get a kick out of how hard GUNTHER hits (and doesn't mind being hit); they'd have one of those bangers all the kids are talking about. It'd be some match, and GUNTHER deserves it.
