Gunther Reflects on Being the Longest-Reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion – In a recent interview with 967 The Eagle, Gunther reflected on his remarkable journey as the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion of all time, expressing his gratitude and pride in achieving such a prestigious milestone.
“It’s a little bit surreal to see your own name on the list with all those legends and greats who have held the title for a long time as well. It’s also very important that you see yourself like that and recognize yourself as one of them. In my case, being on the top of the list. You have to fully embrace that. It takes a little while to do that, but I’m fully there now. I’m not stopping yet. I still have a little in me with the Intercontinental Championship and I’m fully focused on whatever the next challenge is. Adding to my legacy and the legacy of the championship.”
Having held the Intercontinental Championship since mid-2022 after defeating Ricochet, Gunther has solidified his reign by overcoming formidable opponents like Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, and more. Now, over 640 days later, he stands as the undisputed longest-reigning champion in the title’s history.
Looking ahead to WrestleMania 40, Gunther remains focused on the next challenge, gearing up to defend his championship against Sami Zayn. With his sights set on furthering his legacy and the legacy of the Intercontinental Championship, Gunther is determined to continue his reign of dominance in WWE.
