Selfishly, your writer just wants to see this match.

He wants to see GUNTHER tangle with Brock Lesnar too, but that's less likely. Sheamus kicking off the men's Rumble with the reigning IC Champ teased more to come from those guys. That'd be sweet. So, mind you, would seeing Drew McIntyre step up to the 'Ring General'.

GUNTHER is the kind of opponent Drew clearly loves working with. He likes those who aren't afraid to get hit but hit back just as hard, and he'll know the Austrian can hang with his rugged approach without losing any steam the longer the match goes.

Vying to become Intercontinental Champion for the first time since 2010 would be a fine spot for McIntyre on WrestleMania weekend. Fans might even go into the match viewing it as the kind of IC classic that could live up to past greats like Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat or Bret Hart vs. Roddy Piper.
