Gunther chopping the life out of Ludwig Kaiser for weeks on SmackDown has to be leading to something. Hopefully, that "something" isn't a split but instead an Intercontinental Title clash between the big Austrian and Shinsuke Nakamura. That...that could be special.

There's a chance that Triple H will keep this one simmering in the pot for a little while longer, but it'd be so cool to see a match like it on the main card at SummerSlam. If they're given some time to work with, then Gunther and Shin could easily conjure up images of summer pay-per-view greats like Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect.

No, really.

This fan has a ton of faith in both guys to go out there for 15-20 minutes and bloody smash it. A hard fought win over someone like Naka would do wonders for Gunther's reign, and a pay-per-view appearance would also show that WWE values the championship post-Vinnie Mac.
