Gunther is currently in his record-setting Intercontinental Championship reign. No one has held the title as long as Gunther, a record that might be very hard to break. He has been a dominant champion over this time and has shown it with his successive defenses. Gunther’s legacy might be hard to match, as the amount of raw power he possesses is difficult to overcome.
The Ring General has made the intercontinental title relevant again since winning it in June 2022. Due to his dominant title reign and exceptional matches, Gunther has been booked like a total beast during his reign. His instant classics with Sheamus, Chad Gable, Drew McIntyre, and various other WWE Superstars have made him one of the most complete champions of all time.
Being the most dominant Intercontinental Champion in history brings in a lot of arrogance. Gunther is surely an arrogant champ and keeps himself on top of everyone when it comes to ranking the top WWE Superstars. During WWE’s The Bump, Gunther made several opinions on the greatest Intercontinental Champions of WWE. In the process, he made a controversial remark regarding The Ultimate Warrior.

Gunther wasn’t thrilled about The Ultimate Warrior stating that he was of the ‘dark ages’. The Intercontinental Champion further stated, “He’s a Showman. He is not an athlete, not a professional wrestler, he’s a Showman. So, now everybody knows I had to be the one to keep this title for the longest time in history to wash its reputation and set it to a new standard”.
The Ring General seems to bloat about his legacy and unmatched record all the time. He looks to expand his reign as champion when he faces The Miz at the Survivor Series on November 25.
