The greatest Intercontinental Title run of this generation has ended, and some on socials are seemingly bummed out that GUNTHER no longer holds gold. Don't worry, because that IC belt won't be the last trophy he lifts above his head in WWE. Bigger prizes await the Imperium leader, that's for sure.

He has unfinished business with new Undisputed main man Cody Rhodes, for example. They've tangled in Rumbles before, but a series of scorching title bouts is currently in Triple H's back pocket. The best thing about GUNTHER is that WWE's kingpin knows he'll thrive no matter what happens next.

Adaptable workers will always win out in the end.

GUNTHER was never a slave to the Intercontinental Title's legacy - he helped redefine it. Next stop? Going after the top titles in the promotion, and working some seriously tasty chopfests vs. Cody. What a hoot all of that's going to be over the summer.
