Gunther sends one-word message following WWE RAW

Intercontinental Champion Gunther has released a one-word statement after this week’s episode of WWE RAW. He has confirmed that he will be putting his Intercontinental Championship on the line against Sami Zayn at WrestleMania XL this weekend.

Despite facing several other superstars, Sami Zayn emerged victorious in a Gauntlet match on WWE RAW last month. This win secured him a title shot against the leader of Imperium at The Show of Shows. However, Zayn has been on the receiving end of beatdowns from the 36-year-old in recent weeks, including one on the entrance ramp this past Monday night on RAW. In an effort to prepare Zayn for the title match, RAW star Chad Gable has been training with him, but even he fell victim to an attack from the Intercontinental Champion on the same night.

Gunther posted a single-word message to Sami Zayn on his official Instagram account today, in response to WWE RAW. He also shared a video of his attack in his post, emphasizing the statement he wanted to make.

“Statement!,”he wrote.

Former WWE writer advocates for Gunther to retain the IC Title at WrestleMania

Wrestling veteran Vince Russo has recently shared his thoughts on the Intercontinental Championship match at WrestleMania, stating that he is not in favor of Sami Zayn emerging as the victor.

It was pointed out that the promotion invested a significant amount of time building up the Intercontinental Champion, and it would not be ideal for Zayn to be the one to defeat them.

“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 Gunther 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.”[10:47 onwards]
