Bless you, pro wrestling overlords.

Gunther challenging Ricochet for the Intercontinental Title is a dream come true considering how little focus WWE has put on Rico as champ thus far. Seeing the flyer come out to aid a mangled Drew Gulak post-squash is seriously promising. Bring this the f*ck on.

Ricochet is the perfect kind of worker to oppose the artist formerly known as WALTER (shout it!) too; he'll bump around like a mad man for the big Austrian, and that should lead to some awesome matches for the overlooked secondary strap. Could this be the feud that brings IC roaring back to relevance?

Don't bet against it if WWE hands Rico and Gunther enough time for their first one-on-one. If booked correctly, they could steal the show at Hell In A Cell. That's saying something when that pay-per-view has a cherished gimmick and gratuitous violence inside the cage.

Again, BRING. THIS. ON!
