10 Nightmares That Could Come True In Vince McMahon's New WWE
4. GUNTHER Being Demoted
"Don't put it past McMahon".
The exact same could be said for this horror show of an entry. Reports surfaced that Vince actually wanted to demote GUNTHER before retiring last summer. The boss, who obviously didn't see the same thing as literally everyone else, wouldn't have let the Imperium leader's fabulous Intercontinental Title reign breathe.
In fact, it would've been cut short and GUNTHER could've found himself tumbling back down to NXT. Surely, after earning his stripes on the main roster and having scorching match after scorching match since, that won't happen to the big Austrian in 2023. There'd be a riot if Vince dared try it.
People would be desperately unhappy about it, but...what could they do to stop McMahon from de-emphasising GUNTHER's importance on WWE TV? Like, seriously. What could people actually do if Vince thought Shanky was a better fit for the IC belt than a guy having some of the best matches in the biz?
