Gunther’s WWE Intercontinental title run has already secured a place in the record books. Earlier this summer he became one of only five men to hold that particular championship for a year, and he’s been climbing his way to the top of that list ever since.
He’ll surpass The Honky Tonk Man for longest reign next Saturday when his hits 455 days. Despite a countout loss to Chad Gable on last week’s Raw (Gunther’s first since being promoted to the main roster after last year’s WrestleMania), it looked like it could be smooth sailing into history with no match lined up for this weekend’s Payback premium live event.
