Gunther sends message to Sami Zayn ahead of WrestleMania title match

Despite facing numerous challengers, Gunther has consistently proven himself as one of the strongest Intercontinental Champions in WWE history. In a recent statement, the formidable “Ring General”directed a direct message towards his upcoming WrestleMania rival, Sami Zayn.

On the March 11 episode of Monday Night RAW, the previous member of Bloodline emerged victorious in a six-man gauntlet match and earned the title of No. 1 contender for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Despite this achievement, Gunther has consistently declared that Zayn lacks the qualities necessary to be a champion.

In the latest episode of the red brand, it was disclosed that Sami Zayn was receiving training from Chad Gable in preparation for the upcoming championship match. However, the leader of Imperium took to X/Twitter to criticize both Zayn and Gable.

During this week’s RAW, he showcased a clip in which he was dominating two fellow superstars. He made it clear that training with Gable would not improve Zayn’s chances of becoming a champion.

“As if some Push Ups at the Performance Center with Gable would change anything for Sami!”he wrote.

Wrestling Legend Urges Fans to Support Gunther at WrestleMania XL

With a reign of over 660 days, The Ring General holds the record for the longest time as Intercontinental Champion. Vince Russo, who was previously the head writer for WWE, hopes that The Show of Shows will not mark the end of this impressive reign.

However, as this is not the situation, Russo emphasized that it would not be appropriate for Sami Zayn to end Gunther’s momentous title reign at ‘Mania.

“First of all, I think it should be a three-way. I think they should’ve booked it, they could have creatively come up with a way to make it a three-way. It doesn’t look like that’s what it’s gonna be, it’s gonna look like Gable is gonna train, you know, Sami, because he knows Gunther like nobody else. I’d turn Gable on Sami. Sami Zayn cannot be the guy to beat [him] for that title. I am sorry, all the time and effort that they put into Gunther, and the streak, and how good he is, and Sami Zayn cannot be the one to beat that guy,”Vince Russo said.

The undefeated Ring General has not been defeated by pinfall or submission since joining the main roster. It remains to be seen if Sami Zayn will be the first to break his unbeaten streak at The Showcase of the Immortals.
