Numerous reports surfaced during the second half of 2022 that Vince planned to demote reigning IC Champ GUNTHER right before retiring. Thankfully, he didn't get the chance to, and the big Austrian has gone from strength-to-strength under Triple H.

'The Game' loves him, and GUNTHER's performances have been flawless to date. He's worked blistering battles vs. Sheamus, Shinsuke Nakamura, Rey Mysterio, Ricochet and more, and has a tasty power-meets-power clash with Braun Strowman waiting in the wings. That, refreshingly, has been turned on its head by having GUNTHER physically tear down the 'Monster' with submissions.

Y'know what McMahon circa early-2022 would do? He'd have Braun smash GUNTHER in seconds with one running power slam, take his title and then proceed to do absolutely nothing with Strowman or the Intercontinental Champion. Start chewing your fingernails, 'cause that could be on an episode of SmackDown to come in 2023.

What a waste it'd be too.
